Hello Glastonbury! Glastonbury

Glastonbury, the world's biggest party

and the hottest ticket for any music lover.

This year saw the most famous music festival celebrate its 40th birthday.

200,000 people got the chance to see world-class musicians perform.

Since 2007, BBC Introducing has supported unsigned

and under-the-radar musicians, giving them radio play,

the chance to record live sessions and the opportunity to play live at Radio 1's Big Weekend,

T In The Park and Glastonbury.

Introducing has helped launch the careers of Florence And The Machine,

Bombay Bicycle Club and The Ting Tings.

At this year's Glastonbury Festival, 32 new acts were selected to play the Introducing Stage.

Now it's like hit me, bang!

Glastonbury, isn't it? It's Glastonbury.

We followed three of them - one for each day of the festival -

as they prepared for the gig of a lifetime.

I want to get out there and just give it some.

Could playing Glastonbury propel them to stardom?

I need to stay calm, and that's my biggest thing.

I just have to stay calm.

For Birmingham hip-hop group Da Mighty Elementz, the journey

began a long way from the green fields of Glastonbury.

DME have been together for ten years and enjoyed some success locally,

supporting the Black Eyed Peas in 2000.

Getting national recognition has been tough.

But after uploading a track to the Introducing website in November, things started looking up.

I get a phone call, you know, "Do you want to do Glastonbury?"

So I'm thinking, "Well, which prat is this?"

You know what I mean?

"Who's winding me up now?" sort of thing.

You know what I mean? And when she said, sort of like,

"This isn't no joke -

"we really want you to do it."

I said, "Steady on, love - I need to sit down."

So the first thing I do, I tell Rise.

He pretty much had the same reaction, you know.

We were talking, "We need one more set, we need one more show."

Then, bang, out of nowhere, gives the group life.

We were going to do Glastonbury.

# Yo

# I come through raging

# With all guns blazing

# Aiming a shot at those who underrate it

# The flows are the rating Co-ordinating

# You're going against nature... #

'It's been a long time coming because, to be fair,'

if you're an artist, you've got to believe in your stuff.

'Not to be big-headed, but you have to feel it.

'So it's fantastic the BBC recognise us.

'That's why Introducing is good - it's a different route.

'We did traditional routes - urban music stations.'

We just couldn't get anywhere.

We went to Introducing and they gave it the ear.

They listened to it, and put it out.

'They didn't have to give it to the people at Glastonbury.'

Look where we are now - we got the show.

But they're not living the rock and roll lifestyle just yet.

With young families and mortgages to pay, the lads all work day jobs.

Reuben, aka DJ Rise, spends his days installing credit-card machines.

'Couldn't be further away from the dreams and hopes of performing'

at places like Glastonbury,

because this is our nine-to-five, or my nine-to-five,

and this is what I do on a daily basis to keep me sane.

The chances of making it big in anything is slim to none,

so you need something to kind of like keep you on a level.

It doesn't stop me hoping and dreaming at the same time.

It keeps me grounded,

because it reminds me what I have to do on a day-to-day basis.

That's what we all aim to achieve -

wanting to be a musician, and to be an artist full-time

and just live the dream, basically.

# 5,000 miles away We wind the clocks at night

# To hear the arms in motion

# Psychedelic, leave you hypnotised

# We utilise, five guys Five times synchronise

# We knew the time before sundials existed... #

It's a bit mind-blowing.

I don't think a day don't go by where we're thinking,

"We're actually being asked to play at Glastonbury this year."

And all the focus is just really on that,

but at the same time, it hasn't sunk in that we're actually playing at Glastonbury,

which is absolutely nuts.

# Yo! I'm on the ground like CTU

# When your CTU want a link like a CPU... #

As excited as the lads may be about the gig, they've also got a few reservations.

Playing a festival is a far cry from the venues they usually play,

and they're not exactly happy campers.

I'm trying to get the whole concept of camping, and then performing,

and then coming back to camping.

-So... Yeah...it's...

-It's going to be...

It's a whole load of new...

-It's a challenge.

-It is a challenge.

-Because we don't... Well, I'm not a camper.

-Yeah, we're city boys.

I like my creature comforts. I like electricity to be there, you know?

TV, cooker...

# From our tracks to our remixes

# Give me a beat Ride it like Seabiscuit

# I'm back now the heat is on... #

You're trying to get some kip and you've got Worzel Gummidge falling over your tent.

Trying to poke his dusty head through your flipping tent at half three at night.

It's going to be a very, very shocking sort of thing. You know what I mean?

# We got the beats, yo brothers It's moving

# We keep it positive Smash through the negative

# Throw your hands up Perform like you never did

# We keep it moving We keep it grooving

# We got the beats, yo brothers It's moving

# We keep it positive Smash through the negative

# Throw your hands up Perform like you never did. #

It's Glastonbury 2010.

Despite now entering its fifth decade,

the festival is set to be the biggest and best yet.

Festival-goers will get the chance to see hundreds of artists perform

across the huge thousand-acre site.

It's Thursday afternoon

and after a gruelling seven hours, DME arrive on site.

But it's not been the easiest of journeys.

-BLEEP

-hell, man.

Honestly, man, that's all I've got to say, man.

-So how was your journey?

-Shocking. Shocking.

-Gremlins, that's all I'm saying.

-Shocking.

What can I say, man? My car broke down, man. The alternator went.

We ended up leaving Birmingham about 5pm.

It was crazy. It was like we weren't meant to be here. But we're here now.

Just set up camp and get ready.

Get ready for tomorrow, really.

But car troubles are the least of their worries.

They seem to be one member short.

Reuben should be here tomorrow, so...

He's had a long, stressful day

-and now his car's playing up as well, so the curse...

-Really?

You're spreading the curse.

He's got the suits, the hats, the equipment.

So it's essential he comes tomorrow, and if he doesn't,

there will be no show, literally. That's it, kaput. Job done.

So fingers crossed, hopefully he'll be here tomorrow.

But it's onwards and upwards, as the boys face their biggest challenge yet,

finding their campsite and pitching their tents.

LAUGHTER

That's how you do it, boys!

I'm just watching the experts.

And then I'll sort my tent out afterwards.

I've never slept in a tent before.

It's a learning experience for me, you know what I mean?

Just watching them, man. I'm trying to get him to set up my tent for me.

Josh has got the...

He's got the skylight, man.

An hour in and with everyone else's tent almost done,

first-time camper Tony seems to be struggling.

But with a little help from his friend, he finally has a bed for the night.

However, our city boy still has his reservations.

-I feel vulnerable, man.

-I know.

I just feel like a baby, man.

You know? I just feel like all sensitive and stuff.

You know what I mean?

I mean, that's my bag in there, man, you know?

-Leaving it, and that.

-I'd like a bit more security than just a piece of canvas.

Know what I mean? I'm not saying there's anything in there, but...

tramps and things.

As the campfires roar across the Glastonbury site,

DME settle in for their first night under the stars.

It's Friday morning at Worthy Farm. The sun is shining and with people still arriving in their droves,

the sold-out festival looks set to be a winner.

And kicking off the 40th anniversary on the Pyramid Stage is Glastonbury veteran Rolf Harris.

# Ooh, and it makes us wonder... #

Master of ceremonies at the Introducing Stage

is Radio 1's New Music DJ, Huw Stephens.

'I think everybody makes music'

that wants to be heard by more than just themselves,

and BBC Introducing makes that happen,

whether it be on the radio or on the stages here at the festivals.

And to do it at the biggest and the best festival in the world

is a big thing, I think.

The Introducing Stage is opened by surprise special guests,

and this year's hot ticket, Mumford And Sons.

# Roll away your stone

# I'll roll away mine

# Together we can see what we will find

# Don't leave me alone

# At this time

# For I'm afraid of what I will discover inside... #

The Introducing Stage is just one part of Glastonbury's commitment to new music.

It's always been about supporting new music.

We're passionate about getting new bands on.

Will you please give a huge Introducing welcome to Napoleon In Rags?

CHEERING

# Well, cold love came in on a Saturday night... #

I think the best place to discover new music is at the festival,

so it's like the ultimate marriage, in a way.

# Don't let it out

# Don't let it out... #

'It's the best thing when people come through

'from the smaller stages up to the headline slots.'

It's really satisfying when you see that, and you can book a band as the headliner,

knowing that they've come through from some of the much smaller stages supporting new music.

The world's biggest party is now in full swing,

as festival-goers embrace the great outdoors.

Now that they're all here, how are DME finding their festival experience?

We thought it was going to be, like, just a bit bohemian, you know what I mean? Just a bit, like, basic.

You get what I'm saying? We thought we were going to literally have to rough it,

but the shower facilities and the toilets - it's not too bad, man. It's an experience, isn't it?

You've got to take it as an experience.

We've got, like, backstage passes as well.

So we're just going to try and...

You know what I mean? See what's popping off backstage.

See what all that's about, you know what I mean?

On a humble trip, though.

Because obviously we're bottom of the food chain,

so we're not going to invade the place like normal Brum men do.

# Maybe, sometimes

# We feel afraid

# But it's all right The more you stay... #

With an hour to go before their Glastonbury debut, Da Mighty Elementz

head backstage to rub shoulders with the stars,

and pick up some last-minute tips.

# Girl, put your records on

# Tell me your favourite song

# You go ahead, let your hair down

# Sapphire and faded jeans

# I hope you get your dreams

# Just go ahead Let your hair down... #

-Has it come to the point where, all your gigs, you don't get nervous?

-No, I always get nervous.

-I feel like you need it, you need that adrenalin.

-Yeah, you definitely need that buzz.

I find it hard to separate nerves from excitement, even in other things.

"Am excited or am I nervous?" I can never tell.

It's the same emotion for me.

Advice for us, how would you...

say, like, how to deal with it? Because it's new for us.

I guess you just sort of ride it.

I feel like I try not to think too much about how important it is.

You're trying to do your work and get something out of it for yourself.

My favourite gigs are where you're in it,

'and you get lost and forget what you were doing,

-'and you forget you're in front of an audience.

-That's the best.

'That's why I'm always looking for that moment.'

-Half the time I've got my eyes closed...

-I know!

-I think, "There's all these people! I forgot."

-I'll be looking out for that now.

-She's got her eyes closed, and she told us that!

On the Introducing Stage, Bristol band Out Like A Lion

have drawn in the biggest crowd of the day so far.

# Oh, oh, whoa

# Oh, oh, whoa

# You're telling me

# Teacher's going to tell you a thing or two... #

But backstage for a suited and booted DME, there's another problem.

As per usual, something's gone a little bit wrong,

so we're just waiting on the DJ now, who forgot his trousers.

So, yeah, we're just ready to go now.

It's just that we're waiting on a build-up.

Just want to get out there.

Yeah, just want to get out there and just give it some.

Not a very good look, but it wouldn't be DME if everything went to plan. Really and truly.

No dicky bow. I've got jeans on. Not a good show.

This is the last time you'll see me before I go on stage.

Peace, everyone! Come on, let's go.

The crowd's looking quite healthy. Better than we expected.

The more of a crowd we've got, I think the more we'll give back to them,

so hopefully the energy will come through.

# When the pimp's in the crib, man

-# Drop it like it's hot

-What?

-# Drop it like it's hot

-What? #

Wardrobe malfunctions may be the least of their worries.

Unfortunately for DME, they're up against stiff competition,

with rap legend Snoop Dogg on the Pyramid Stage.

In an ideal world, we wouldn't want to be

up against another hip-hop act,

because I assume that anyone who's into hip-hop is going to be at the Snoop stage.

But, you know, roll with the punches.

Whoever's out there, they're going to get a good show, so...

see what happens.

DME's worst fears become a reality,

as they set up to a near empty tent.

It's down to them to give it all they've got to pull in the punters.

Straight out of Birmingham,

supported by BBC Introducing in Birmingham,

first time at Glastonbury,

please welcome Da Mighty Elementz, or DME! Woo!

# Yes, yes... #

Yo, Glastonbury! What are you saying?

How we doing out there?

# We're coming out through raging With all guns blazing

# Aiming a shot at those who underrate it

# The flows are the rating Co-ordinating

# You're going against nature if you go against the flavours

# I know what your game is See your two faces

# Want to see me fail

# Well, I ain't trading places

# I hold the aces Though I'm underrated

# I've got style so wipe the smiles off your faces

# Armed and dangerous My flow is impatient

# To all you haters... #

It seems things aren't as bad as they feared.

The boys give a confident seamless intro,

enticing passers-by to stop and check them out.

# You ain't hard, son... #

HE RAPS

# Plus the girls think I'm buff You ain't hard, son

# I'm a top player Top and top here

# I'm a nightmare so don't stare You don't want it

# You ain't hard, son Fall back, shut your trap

# Get a slap, that's a fact On the back

# Because I'm crackers You ain't hard, son

# Move, so the prepping improves, son I'm talking to you

# So you best just do one

# You ain't hard, son I'm the kingpin

# Mr Kingpin of the bling-bling See my rings? Bling-bling... #

Snoop may have pulled the crowds away, but the lads don't give up easily.

After 20 minutes of high-energy performance, there's no doubt the audience is on their side.

# I get busy off the liquor Quicker

# I tell you which one's getting loose off the liquor...

# I'll maybe get a look and a drink from her

# Baby, I'm a little crazy Too much liquor in your cup

# Maybe

# I'm from Brum So it's all about fun

# Put the coke with the rum...

# From the front, to the back In the club, looking back

# From the club, to the set

# You steer me on the track

# Front and back Yeah! #

OK.

Glastonbury, we've been DME.

You've been brilliant.

Thank you very much, yeah?

CHEERING

We got through it, we've done our set.

No hiccups. We're very happy.

A few geezers there, giving it... you know. But you know...

Yeah, man, as long as us three are on stage, and our DJ,

we're going to have a vibe anyway.

We're going to continue to do what we do.

Hopefully, we'll get a few more sets and a few more stages, a few more venues.

But you know, we're operating without a manager.

We're just four local lads doing our thing.

And we hope the UK can get with us, you know?

For Da Mighty Elementz, the gig is over

and it's time to see what Glastonbury has to offer.

# Overload, overload

# Coming up to the

# Overload... #

Gorillaz bring Friday to a close on the Pyramid Stage,

with an epic star-studded performance, playing to a crowd of over 100,000 people.

# Oh, stylo

# Go for blossom in your soul

# When you know the sky is light... #

As Glastonbury-goers party into the early hours, another 11 acts

prepare for their chance to play the Introducing Stage.

Selected to play the stage on Saturday is Manchester-based Celt Islam.

Celt Islam is a project of mine.

In fact, it's my DJ alias.

I used to be DJ Celt Islam.

It has many sounds and flavours,

but it main core is dub-driven dance music. That's what it is.

And it's dub-driven dance music with a fusion of Western,

Middle-Eastern, African, Asian flavours.

The live outfit of Celt Islam is made up of a collective of people

from many backgrounds, from punk, reggae, to even, like, traditional Indian Qawwali.

Myself, I run the sound, play keyboards, percussion

and I'm the main writer of the whole Celt Islam fraternity.

MIDDLE-EASTERN-STYLE RAPPING

'A big part of my life is my faith.

'I'm the only white British Muslim convert in this scene on the circuit.

'My music that I make'

is part of my spirituality, so you're getting a little taste.

You're not getting the whole thing, because the whole thing is in me.

Abdullah converted to Islam 20 years ago at the age of 17.

'People might think that being a Muslim and doing what I'm doing somehow conflicts.

'I would argue completely different.

'Our school allows music under specific rules and regulations.

'If I'm expressing myself in a pure way,

'with a pure heart,'

to enlighten people and to make people happy

and make people think, and positive things, that's accepted.

Abdullah has worked as a musician for 15 years

and pays his way producing other people's music,

making samples and putting on club nights in the North West.

Abdullah has always wanted to play Glastonbury,

but until now has never had the opportunity.

He uploaded one of his tracks to the Introducing site back in April

in the hope of landing the gig of his dreams.

It gives artists like me a chance to be heard and seen,

when normally, you know, we're not given those chances,

and it brings new artists forward

and people get to hear something different.

MIDDLE-EASTERN STYLE RAPPING

Until recently, Abdullah worked as a solo artist.

But after sending tracks to DJ Bobby Friction at BBC Asian Network,

Abdullah decided to change tack.

'His advice he gave to me was,'

"Go live, take it live with a band now

"and you'll really get somewhere with it because it's unique,"

because this type of music is mainly just DJ-ed.

'It's a gig I've always wanted to do

'and to do the BBC stage is like a double whammy for me.

'It's a great opportunity for things to happen for me.'

You know, I just know that I'm going to bump into the right people.

It's Saturday morning and the sun shines on a new day at Worthy Farm.

Today it's Celt Islam's turn to take to the stage.

-Greetings.

-Hi.

We're in Glastonbury. It's wonderful.

We've finally made it.

There was some mad traffic in Birmingham,

but now it's, like, hit me, bang!

Glastonbury, innit? It's Glastonbury!

Celt Islam have set up a home from home,

leaving them plenty of time to catch some rays before they take to the stage.

'Well, we are now camped here'

in Glastonbury at the artists' dance area.

And what's going on right now is...

"chillaxing" -

totally relaxing before the gig.

It's just nice to get out with my friends and have a good time.

And to be able to play at Glastonbury is a bonus as well.

The BBC Introducing Stage is nice.

I like it. It looks nice. I've not really heard its sound properly yet.

I'm going to check the sound out today, cos my main concern is bass.

I think today we're just going to create some nice atmospherics,

get all the lights off us

and just have some smoke and strobes and create a bit of atmosphere.

Well, there's no shortage of atmosphere at the Pyramid Stage,

with Seasick Steve wooing the festival crowd.

# Trapped

# Like a rat

# I was caught

# That's a fact

# I

# Want to fly

# Like a bird

# Over these walls... #

The backstage area at Introducing is filling up thick and fast

with rumours of another surprise performance.

Glastonbury!

Out front is looking good, too.

Nottingham band Dog Is Dead go down a storm with an energetic,

if slightly chaotic, performance.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Back at camp Celt Islam, with an hour before the big gig, the band cram in a last-minute rehearsal.

These are some of the various percussion that we're using today.

Two djembes, bongos.

We've got plenty more percussion instruments,

but we need these out in the sun today so they can absorb some warmth

and we'll get a really nice tone for when we get on stage.

This one I'm going to wear up on a harness so I can play it.

It's a brand new one, actually.

I just got it given to me.

It'll be the first time it's ever been gigged, that.

Show us the family bedroom.

Oh, well, it's a mess at the moment cos there's all our stuff inside.

There's, like, stuff all over the place.

But up here there's bunks and there's two beds down here as well.

And we've got seats and stuff.

But at the moment, you know, we're just kind of relaxing and,

you know... I think a little bit of chaotic mess is good for the psyche.

# Ten sliver spoons coming after me

# One life with one dream on repeat... #

Since her Introducing debut last year,

Welsh pop princess Marina And The Diamonds have graduated to the John Peel Stage.

Marina gives a supercharged performance to the Saturday afternoon crowd.

# Oh, Lord

-# I have been told

-I have been told... #

'Huw Stephens invited me to play the Introducing Stage

'at Radio 1's Big Weekend in Swindon,'

and that was my first ever festival.

I was so nervous and I did mess it up a bit.

But then the next year, well, this year, I got invited back

and it was, like, 5,000 people, from maybe 250 people.

# Cuckoo! #

Sing it back! # Cuckoo! #

'For me, advice to other bands is really based on what I experienced,'

which is that I used to go out on stage thinking, "Everybody hates me,

"nobody likes me, everyone's going to think I'm rubbish."

But, really, people have made an effort to come and see you,

so they already think you're good,

and it's just really important to connect with the audience

and to believe that it's just you and them,

you know, screw everyone else outside of the tent.

# Before you

# Yeah, yeah My life was acapella, ah, ah

# Now a symphony's the only song to sing

# Oooh, ooh... #

Saturday's special guest proves to be a real treat.

Abdullah heads side of stage to check out Plan B's amazing performance.

# The only song

# The only song

# The only song

# The only song

# The only song

# To sing. #

CHEERING

'It's refreshing to hear nice, good talent.'

And I'm not even into this music, but my hair stood on end,

and I just thought, "These are great, these are fantastic."

'After seeing Plan B, I'm more confident than ever.

'I think it will be fantastic.'

With an hour to go, Celt Islam get into the festival vibe,

hanging out with the movers and shakers backstage.

It's great to just the chill here and get away from the madness of what's out there, you know.

It's great being out there, but you do need a break now and again.

So it's nice to just chill back here and see a few interesting folk.

I just saw Jo Whiley.

Her arm brushed my arm.

I was blessed by Jo Whiley. I just wanted to tell her,

"You're responsible for my mother being completely obsessed with Coldplay."

A huge supporter of Celt Islam's music is BBC Asian Network's

Bobby Friction. Bobby has championed the band by giving them radio play

on his show and nominating them for this gig.

I've had bands before at the Introducing Stage.

Great, they've totally filled what Introducing was all about.

But with Mr Islam, with Abdullah,

because there's that whole Sufi vibe going on and the Celtic vibe,

I just think that's he's kind of come home, in a really weird way.

So I am really excited. I'm not bothered if there's loads of people there

or a couple of people there,

cos you will have done what you were supposed to do, which is play at Glastonbury

and bringing together the Celtic and Islamic and maybe even pagan worlds.

# Why is your love so hard to get sometimes?

# T-T-Tell me... #

While Northampton five-piece NewIslands finish their set,

Celt Islam prepare to take to the stage.

However, the earlier bravado seems to have gone amiss.

Have the nerves finally kicked in?

Now, I just want to get the gig over and done with.

I just need to focus now on performance.

With very little time to set up, the band can't afford any hiccups.

But, lo and behold, there seems to be a problem.

-What's happened?

-The computers went down.

Had to go all the way back.

See you in a minute.

Ladies and gentlemen, make some noise...

for Celt Islam!

CHEERING

MIDDLE-EASTERN STYLE SINGING

With the computer problem sorted, the gig is well under way.

The crowd are happy, but it doesn't look like Abdullah is.

Singer Firouzeh joins the band on stage, adding a touch of glamour to the set.

# Believe me

# When you go, the times you feel alone

# Waiting by the phone

# If only

# Circumstance allowed you by my side

# My rollercoaster ride

# Through the rain

# The shining light up in the sky

# Deep within everything I see... #

After a few glitches and a slightly shorter set than planned,

the gig is a huge success.

Celt Islam go down a storm, doing Bobby Friction proud.

HE SINGS IN HARMONY

CHEERING

Thanks, Glastonbury.

'I enjoyed it.'

This is the beauty of being a musician and a live artist at times, that things go wrong.

-Yeah.

-But, you know, laptop died.

Luckily, I used my brains,

I brought another laptop and got it up and running.

I had a few monitor problems,

so I couldn't play as much keyboards as I wanted to, but I just thought,

"What the hell, have a good time,"

and so, you know, I kind of did the best I could, really.

For this opportunity to come along

and to have the support from BBC Asian Network and Bobby Friction playing me,

that's a great blessing and an honour and I'm glad that I came, you know.

It's been a long day, but festivities aren't over yet.

Sci-fi prog rockers Muse storm the Pyramid Stage,

bringing Saturday to a super-massive finish.

London-based singer-songwriter Lettie

hopes playing the Introducing Stage on Sunday will be her big break.

My name is Lettie and I create atmospheric, catchy tunes,

mainly on guitar and keyboards.

# I was wandering around this dark town

# The ghost of yesterday still haunts me now... #

I'm not a great player. I'm a kind of outsider artist when it comes to playing the instruments,

even though I'm a trained pianist.

So there's a sense of naivety as well, and I like that.

I like simple and that approach which is almost childlike.

# Don't you know

# The key... #

Lettie has already recorded two albums.

But with funds lacking a little promotion, each one has gone unnoticed.

Lettie has enlisted the help of producer Mike Mason to record her third album.

He will also be performing with her at Glastonbury.

I create music using a lot of loops,

and I love the idea of trying to create as much sound as I can.

Our idea is to create music that's slightly out of this world, rather than in it.

# I've got all the things

# You desire

# In my pocket I've got dreams for sale... #

I have been around a long time.

Since 2007, I've done over 100 gigs.

There is an element of chaos and danger to our set, which we like to keep in a way.

It is totally not put on.

Some people say, "You should tidy it up, you should get much more slick."

# I'll sell you a ticket or sell you a cruise... #

People are getting a bit bored of slick and,

you know, I could be in front of a karaoke machine if it was that slick.

The performances we do are always different,

and that's why it's so exciting for us to play and for people to hear,

cos it won't be the same the next time they see us, and that's what we're trying to do,

create a show where people will come again, because I don't want to see a band again unless it's different.

Although Lettie's music is relatively unknown,

she has been spotted by Squeeze's Chris Difford, who is collaborating with her on her latest track.

# It will change

# It doesn't have to stay the same... #

She came very kindly to support me at a gig in London and I was thrilled to hear her stuff.

It's the kind of music I like to listen to.

It's very sort of soothing,

and I feel like I'm in a bath full of lovely music. It's great.

# It will change

# It doesn't have to stay the same... #

I think Glastonbury is an opportunity for everybody who plays there.

It's a wonderful environment to captivate people. I'm envious that she's playing there.

I might have to sort of climb in the boot of her car and find my way in.

It's a glorious Sunday morning, and it looks like the final day of Glastonbury is going to be a corker.

With 11 promising acts left to grace the Introducing Stage, Lettie has no shortage of competition.

It's up to her and producer Mike to give the crowd a show to remember.

Hiya. I'm Abdullah, Celt Islam.

Have one of my CDs.

-Oh, great.

-I was checking you out on the net.

I haven't brought any. I would give you one.

No, no, it's all right, love.

I praise God that everything goes well for you.

Really, I do.

You know, that's all I can say, really, on that.

But, yeah, the stage is good.

-There's lovely people there and anything you need, they'll help you.

-That's great.

# This is the news Something terrible is happening

# This is the news Something terrible is happening... #

Setting the bar high for the last day on the Introducing Stage

are Brighton quartet End Of Level Baddie.

# It's tragedy followed by... #

We've got a few hours till we play.

I think we're loading in quite soon to at least get our stuff there.

In regards to the performance, we've been talking a bit to Abdullah.

He's been really great, giving us a few tips.

The one thing I'm a little bit worried about is the monitoring,

but I think, if I make a point of that, that's OK.

We're not too bad about it, are we?

I've taken some more calm pills, so...

With a few hours to go before she's due to perform,

Lettie heads backstage to make the most of her artist's pass and do some serious star spotting.

We've just seen Doctor Who. I'm very, very excited.

-Mike watches Doctor Who all the time.

-No, I don't.

-You do!

You can't hear Mike at this point cos he's not miked up,

but he does watch it all the time so he can't argue against me.

At The Other Stage, thousands of fans wait to see Aussie band The Temper Trap perform.

They've come a long way since they were spotted by Introducing two years ago.

I'm a huge fan. Great to meet you.

Hi. I'm Dougy. What's your name?

-Lettie.

-Cool.

-Great to meet you.

-Nice to meet you. Where are you from?

-Have a good gig. London.

She's also playing today, so she's going to check you out and hoping for the same success.

-Cool. All the best.

-Have we really good one.

-Good luck. Thank you so much. See you.

-Bye.

Blagging her way side of stage, Lettie gets a taste of the big time with a band's-eye view of the crowd.

Sunday's special guest on the Introducing Stage is another treat

and one of this year's hottest artists.

Fans crowd in to watch the performance, and Lettie gets back

just in time to take a front row seat.

Here at Glastonbury it is the very wonderful Laura Marling!

# I might be a part of this Ripple on water from a lonesome drip

# A fallen tree that witnessed me I'm alone, him and me

# Life itself could not aspire To have someone be so admired

# I threw creation to my king With a silence broken by a whispered wind... #

I just saw Laura Marlin, who was just phenomenal.

She has the most amazing, amazing voice.

It's so pure and genuine and I said to her how wonderful it was, but, you know, she...

Obviously it's quite hectic when you come off the stage, but I'm glad I saw her.

Those two songs she sang are just beautiful.

A real honour to see her perform.

And how does that make you feel about your performance?

It makes me feel incredibly nervous and I've only got 25 minutes to get ready,

and I'm feeling that I need to get my skates together,

cos I need to stay calm and that's my biggest thing - I just have to be calm.

# I was prepared

# To love you... #

As London band Dry The River give a seamless performance,

a very nervous Lettie has less than half a hour to compose herself.

I'm feeling OK. I think seeing Laura Marling totally put fear into me.

I think before I was a lot more confident, but I think we...

I haven't even done my hair, but I think it's going to go fine, you know.

I'm just going to give it my best shot.

We've got a few things to set up.

I've got to make sure my mic's near me.

As long as I'm comfortable, I can do it, and the loop pedal works.

I think it'll be fine.

I'm excited to play. I can't wait to finish, though, I have to admit,

so I can relax, but I'm looking forward. The adrenaline's rushing. I guess that's a good thing.

This is the BBC Introducing Stage at Glastonbury.

And it's a pleasure to welcome this next band on the stage right now.

I think you're in for a treat on a Sunday afternoon, the last day of Glastonbury.

Please give a very warm welcome to Lettie!

# Do you know

# The key?

# I've been looking

# Everywhere

# He'll show you the back door where they hide

# With all the grease and all the dirt left behind

# Mr Lighter, Mr Lighter than my soul... #

Lettie's atmospheric sound is pulling in the Sunday crowd.

But as the set progresses, the gremlins have returned.

# ..the Yellow Brick Road

# I'm trying to crack The Da Vinci Code

# With wings on fire I came close to...#

The computer and keyboards have gone down.

As Mike frantically tries to find the source of the problem, it's up to Lettie to carry on alone.

# Hang on, hang on in there

# Nobody's going to find you Hang on, hang on in there... #

After breaking a sweat and swapping various wires around, they're back up and running.

Lettie gives it everything she's got for the last song.

# Don't look down, don't look down

# Take your eyes right off the ground

# Hey

# Hey

# Look up now, look up now

# Can't you see we're heading for the sundown

# Hey

# Hey

# Don't look back, don't turn around

# Take your eyes off the ground... #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

What was good was we pulled through it. I could look at the negatives,

but I'm a bit of a trooper and things get forgotten very easily.

And the truth is, sometimes when it's all really, really slick, there's a lot of things I am doing -

there's a little bit of backing - but on the whole, it has that element of danger.

And, you know, what happened today really was all technical.

Mike's keyboard completely died on him, so it was one of those things that was totally out of our control.

On the whole, the audience were really sweet,

I didn't see many people walking away, and a few came in and that's the main thing, sustain the interest.

The one thing I've always feared is being boring and I don't think as a performer I'm boring,

and if I can achieve that, that's quite a thing for me.

I never want to be boring.

It's been another triumphant year for Introducing.

32 undiscovered acts got the chance to play alongside some of the biggest bands in the world.

Glastonbury-goers saw some special performances and discovered some amazing new artists.

Thank you very much, everybody. Thank you so much.

It's been a brilliant year.

The quality's been really high. It's really exciting when a band

plays the BBC Introducing Stage one year,

then the following year they'll play a bigger stage.

Sometimes the journey will end on the BBC Introducing Stage, I'll be honest.

At a festival like Glastonbury, it might be the band's one chance at getting their music out there.

But if things go an artist's way, they'll get a deal, they'll get a publishing deal,

management, an agent, they'll go up a notch on the festival stages and get their music out there.

# Happy birthday... #

-Hey!

-Glastonbury's 40th anniversary is brought to a close with a very special performance

from Stevie Wonder and extra special guest Michael Eavis.

# Happy birthday

# Happy birthday... #

Our three acts gave it all they had on the Introducing Stage,

and each one, though not without hiccups, managed to pull it off.

Each of their performances can be viewed online at...

You know what the reality of it is.

Monday morning's work, we've got to go to work, but, yes, the camping experience - it's been a bit mad.

It's fantastic to now be able to say I've played Glastonbury.

It's been amazing, the whole experience.

This is something that I've dreamt of for years.

For this opportunity to come along and to have the support from the BBC,

that's a great blessing and an honour and I'm glad that I came.
