The Noisettes. It is terribly impressive that she can sing like

that and play Bass at the same time. Great performer. That was The

Noisettes. We are back now in our beautiful garden, hopefully if are

watching and you are disappointed because you didn't get tickets, we

have given you that experience over the weekend, come rain, come Shane,

headliners. We will do that with Beyonce. This afternoon it is all

about chilling out. Also, Mark's feet have been exposed for the

first time. We have gone from wellies to boots and I have come

All the time! That person over there? That's him. All right? Right,

never seen it. Martin Clunes is in it. You go down the steep hill. A

couple of nice pubs there, aquarium, pottery. Nice cream teas! A group

of hearty souls gather to do singing and they make an amazing

noise. I first saw these guys five years ago, went for a pint and they

were there singing. They were called Fisherman's Friends. This is

tradition of standing in a semi- circle. Our songs are work songs,

they come from the working days of sound and they are basically all

people and so people can still relate to them now, you know, they

are the people's songs. We are the people's shan'ty men. We first got

play the Pyramid Stage and you worry about them getting lost. That

stage was not big enough for Fisherman's Friend. I love the

story of that band and they are so lovely. You couldn't kind of make

up a better story. It is like Calendar Girls. They are making a

film about that story. They still go to Port Isaac and they will sing

to anyone who want to share a pint with them. They are a very

expensive round as I found to my cost in a hotel bar! Yeah, in

Simon coming up of course. Very shortly. But whilst we are basking

at the Circus Field with Annabel doing the trapeze. All the blood

has rushed to my head. I'm coming up. Put your hands on the bar.

Take your feet underneath. I tried to do that gracefully. Hello.

You do a lot of trapeze lessons for people who aren't in any fit state

like myself. It is fun? It is fun. How was I? You were good. Very

confident. You held that... they usually as scared as me?

We have some spinning ladders. All sorts of different acts. They have

to train every day. How do you come up with the name? We are No Fit

State Circus. I love it. I'm no no fit state. Annabel, do something

cool. Get on that trapeze. I'm going to run away to the circus.

Wow! So much more elegant than me. Yeah, just hanging. See you later,

guys. Why have they got Gemma to do that and why didn't they send you

there? I would have paid good money. With my natural balance, I was a

shoe in for that. In live television, they shout at us in our

ear, like, "Shut up, that's enough of you!" Do they do that to you

often? Quite often. Do you not get that? No. We didn't realise Gemma

was poised on her head. She is very high viz. In that outfit,

absolutely. She's the style guru of Glastonbury this year. Coming up

shortly, we will bring you some more flavours of what is happening

here, maybe the odd acoustic, Laura Marling was playing a little while

ago. Talking of Fisherman's Friends, Laura was on her own. We will chat

about her in a little while. For now, we will bring you some Paul

Simon who was in action half an hour ago. First of all, let's find

out about the background of Paul Simon.

He says you can call him Al, but most of us know him as Paul Simon.

Today, Glastonbury welcomes him to the Pyramid Stage. Paul's early

career started out with his childhood friend Art Garfunkel.

Together as Simon and Garfunkel in the '60s they would find themselves

redefining folk music. Simon writing songs that would somehow

capture the mood of the changing times.

# Please Mrs Robinson... # After 13 years singing together,

the smash 1970 album Bridge Over Troubled Water was their last

studio recording together. # I'm sailing right behind... #

Simon would recommence a solo career that had begun back in 1965

when he released the Paul Simon Song book whilst playing the

English folk clubs. Everything was an adventure. I was living far away

from home in another culture in another country. I would play there

maybe once a month and it was always packed. There was a feeling

of camaraderie. It was probably the most enjoyable time of my life.

was during this period that he discovered the global rhythms that

influenced his 1972 hits Mother and Child Reunion. In 1986, his global

hit Graceland explored the music of South Africa. It catapulted him

back to the top of the charts but created a political storm as he

travelled to Johannesburg to incorporate the sounds of the South

African township with his songwriting. It featured many South

African musicians. Graceland was revolutionary and introduced the

music of Soweto to an international audience. His music continues to

influence. In recent years, he's won a new generation of fans as

acts as Vampire Weekend have covered his songs. When I think of

it it's pretty close to Indie thinking. It is rhythmic, it is not

mainstream. It's more old music. Now he's back with the new album So

Beautiful or So What which went to the upper reaches of the charts.

Today he is about to grace the Pyramid Stage with a set of his

classic songs old and new, delivered by that iconic voice that

could only be Paul Simon. I have never been to Glastonbury. I am

curious to see what it is. We will adjust the set to whatever the

crowd wants, sort of, however we interpret what the crowd wants.

There was the man in action and here we have him beside us. How are

you feeling? Well, I wish I were feeling better. You have a sore

throat? I came down with something two days ago and it's just

lingering. It's such a beautiful day. I was so looking forward to

playing here. I'm happy about - that I done it, but I wish I had

done it with my voice, my real voice. Why did it appeal, why did

you want to be here? I have always heard - first of all, I have had

many friends who have told me about it. Anyone for example that you can

tell us? Famous? I don't mind! have friends who aren't famous,

whose opinions I think of and... Performers? No, I can't think of

any that I spoke to in particular. I always heard it was one of the

great festivals and very interesting and had interesting

acts and was something that I wanted to do and I had been asked

to do it several times and for whatever reason I couldn't fit it

in, or I was doing something else. This was something that I really

looking forward to and I'm happy that I did it. I'm disappointed I

wasn't at my best. You sounded great. I said he's still got a

beautiful tone to his voice. literally said that. What a great

band. Who is the guy who seems to be your right-hand man with the

long pony-tail? Mark Stuart. What a guitar player! He is fabulous. He's

been with me for oh let's say 12 or 13 years. Vincent, on my left,

Vincent from Cameroon, he played on Rhythm of the Saints. All the

percussion, it sounds fantastic. You were talking in the film before,

you try and interpret what the audience might like. Is it

difficult picking a set list for something like this? Erm, a little

bit. I have been playing theatres and clubs so and I have been

playing that in order to play the new material from So Beautiful and

So What. Yeah. When I play in those venues, everybody there knows, they

already know the new record. They know it. So it makes this set list

seamless and you don't feel there is one song that is very famous and

another that isn't. You can see the connection through the years of how

the music has evolved and still has elements from the earliest days.

Sure. If I were to reconstruct the set here today, I would say given

the reaction to You Can Call Me Al, which we never play... Do you not?

Did you enjoy that? Sure I did. With my voice, I probably would

take out a ballad and put in a couple more up-tempos. How would

you sum up your Glastonbury experience? It's so short, the

amount of time that I'm here, you know. It's hardly an experience.

But you mean just looking at it from... Yes. A couple of words how

it felt to you? It is a large festival. I have played in front of

a few people! A few! Large crowds before. Did it feel good? I like

playing in the daylight. And you can see that the audience like it,

too. I am sure they are much relieved to be standing in a

beautiful warm sunshiney day... weather made it all. Thank you for

coming back. Thank you for talking to us. This is Diamonds On The

An enormous crowd out the front of Pyramid Stage enjoying the sunshine.

A whole bunch of hits courtesy of Mr Paul Simon. I love him for many

reasons. A great songwriter. When ever he performs live, he couldn't

look less interested. Do you think? He plays the most amazing songs.

He's already been Paul Simon for his whole life. He doesn't have to

do anything else. Brilliant scenes. Hello there, it is us, Zane and

Lauren. Thank you for sticking with us. We have some lovely stuff on

Glastonbury 2011 for you, including next a film about ancient

For the past 40 years, festival- goers have been building their own

mythology here on the Glastonbury site. This part of the country has

been a destination of pilgrims of all kinds for over 5,000 years.

Thousands of festival-goers will stream down these hillsides to

watch U2 make history on that stage. How many of them will appreciate

just how much truly ancient history surrounds them here? The very first

Pyramid Stage was constructed on this spot in 1971. Its appearance

was very difference to the Great Pyramids of Egypt, but the idea

behind it was much the same. Festival organiser Andrew Care

wanted to create a free festival that was more than a gig in a field.

The Pyramid Stage was to be a spiritual satellite dish able to

pick up and channel the vibrations of the cosmos. Whether or not you

agree with Andrew's approach to stage-building, it is an undeniable

fact that this landscape is littered with ancient sites. It's

also full of myth and legend. Andrew moved the Festival from

September to the Summer Solstice in June continuing the tradition of

the equinox pilgrimage. He also insisted on erecting the Pyramid

Stage on what he believed was a line connected this site to

Stonehenge. The site is overlooked by this geological outcrop,

Glastonbury Tower. The Celts called this place The Isle of Glass. Apart

from the famous muddy Glastonburys, there is precious little sign of

the sea around here. On a dry day, you can see the Glastonbury

Festival site from here, somewhere over there. Today is not a dry day.

In keeping with another Glastonbury Festival tradition, the weather has

gone bad. In ancient times, these levels were a shallow marshy sea

with small islands connected by wooden causeways so maybe there is

some truth in the legend of Avalon after all. The connections with

Hi. Hello, Neil. Great to see you. How are you? Well. How long has

this place been the focus of legend? This place has been

Arthurian for about 900 years, going back to 12th Century. What

trigger Arthurian legend here? is the myth that when King Arthur

was killed he was brought to the Isle of Avalon. No-one knew where

that was until the monks of Glastonbury started digging up the

place and what they found here was the coffin of King Arthur. Why do

you think the Arthurian legend is the one that so endures in this

part of the world? Well, all nations want a great figurehead and

if we look back into the Dark Ages, what we find in reality are petty

chieftains. If a country wants to be great, it needs something a bit

larger-than-life and King Arthur filled that role. The other

important thing about King ar thundershower is the notion that he

never really died -- King Arthur is the notion that he never really

died. Perhaps he lives on. For many people, this landscape is charged

with the energy of all those who have passed through it before them.

From the ancient architects of Stonehenge, to those seeking Avalon

itself, so perhaps it is fitting that Glastonbury should inhabit

this landscape now, drawing yet more people together and creating

new legends that are all its own. There we are, we are in a place

rich in history. I was chatting to Kool and the Gang and they were at

Stonehenge drinking it in. There is going to be more history made this

evening in its own small way, Beyonce will be the first female

headliner on the Pyramid Stage. That is brilliant. Incredible. It

is hers for the stealing. There's people out there already camping

outside waiting for Beyonce to take to the stage. There is a lot of

curiosity amongst the superfans. Really nice to get to grips with

the tradition of the Festival. You don't get that at Reading!

Speaking of traditions, do you like I have gone for the Festival straw

hat? I'm very proud of you. It was time. Five! Over here, is a couple

of ladies who have made a brand-new album. We are going to hear them

# God bless the world, # God bless the world,

the Pyramid Stage earlier today with Devil's Spoke. She has been

working with Ethan Jones again. It's a stronger build from softer

to boombastic at the end. We have excited about that concept.

Vaccines have had a wonderful weekend and it has been an

incredible six to eight months for this band. You could tell instantly

when you heard them they were going to be a force to be reckoned with.

They have gone on to play some big shows. They have done some touring

with Arctic Monkeys. Their Glastonbury consisted of two shows,

That

That was

That was part

That was part of The Vaccines from the John Peel Stage. It is all

about the headliner tonight, Beyonce. Everybody has been talking

about it. There are rumours flying around the site. People are saying

Nelson Mandela will make a speech in the middle of her set -

unlikely! People are talking about Kanye West appearing. That is not

going to happen. Other members of Destiny's Child. That may happen.

Jay-Z appearing. That is going to happen! The supportive husband

thing. He will do Crazy Love. They will do three or four - bonny and

Clyde. They will do a few. I don't care as long as she does

Bootilicious and Crazy Love. Let's hear from the woman herself. This

is what Beyonce had to say about appearing at Glastonbury 2011.

the first woman to ever headline the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury.

Unbelievable! I didn't know that. I was just told that two days ago.

What is Beyonce's take on the Festival? My first impression of

Glastonbury was actually in pictures and it was it is a Nateing

to me to see everyone in their wellies in the mud, all -- it was

fascinating to me to see everyone in their wellys in the mid all

united. One day I thought I would like to do a festival and I never

ever thought I would be able to headline Glastonbury. What does she

make of the Glastonbury crowd? Everyone is so free. Everyone is

diverse. They love great art and great music. It doesn't matter

where you come from and what type of music you sing. I have seen the

response to Stevie Wonder, I have seen the response to Coldplay, to

Jay-Z and it just feels so good to know that it is music-lovers and

they want to enjoy good music. does the bootilicious Queen of Pop

feel about taking on the Festival? I am the biggest fan of U2 and

Coldplay. I have spoken to both of them about my set because I'm like

OK, you guys are a little bit more familiar with the Festivals and I

needed to make sure they gave me their approval and they are, I mean

they are genius and I am so excited to share the stage with them and

for Glastonbury to recognise a woman and feel like we have the

strength and power to headline. I am so honoured that I am the chosen

woman! I promise, ladies, I'm going to rock! She is going to rock! You

can do the dance and everything. Will you teach me it? You can do

the dance! I can. All the ladies can do the dance. When I started to

talk about doing Glastonbury coverage this year, on Yeonpyeong

day, it is going to be for -- on Yeonpyeong day, it is going to be

about the ladies. -- Beyonce day, it is going to be for the ladies.

We will be back with Beyonce on BBC Two later tonight at 10.00pm. If

you want to relive yesterday's action from the Pyramid Stage, you

can check out Coldplay on BBC Four. On BBC Three tonight, at 7.45, tune

in for more highlights including Plan B. He is tearing it up! He was

very nervous. There's all sorts of other stuff online. I am quite

excited about Kool and the Gang. Yeah. That is going to be awesome.

He is going to stay put and get down, get down. I know, they have

the... Morrisy had the gong and the double ba -- Morrissey had the gong

and the double bass. Beyonce will need a gong. Nelson Mandela - I

will be astounded if he showed up for a quick chat. It will be good.

Whatever happens, it will be fantastic. What is your favourite

Beyonce song? Crazy Love. If she does bring out the Destiny's Child

girls that will be phenomenal. There's so many songs that would be

the moment. We will find out later. Join us tonight at 10.00pm. Turn

over to Four for Coldplay. Plan B on Three later. We will see you

later for Beyonce. Take care. # But look at how times
