I was there in the crowd, they completely underestimated the amount of people, the whole area was heaving with wombles. It was roasting hot and they were on stage performing in those costumes.

[@willhickman2578]

Shut up

[@Nogli]

Michael Eavis even had the nerve to say that he regretted booking them before the festival.

[@ivaneames4354]

The Wombles at Glastonbury. Now I really have seen everything.

[@ILoveTheBoyInBluexxx]

The woman who wrote the wombles lived on the same island as me R.I.P your amazing books completed my childhood

[@regentrobbie]

They're back and we love 'em. Thank you Wombles for bringing some British charm back to a corporate world.

[@gwenever4954]

this was so awesome, and crammed in there, I just thought sometimes at Glasto, you don't even need to drop acid to see weird shit, that's why I love it so much! Suddenly instead of being 47 , I was 10 again :)

[@hellfirepictures]

And yet Michael Eavis claimed it was a mistake to put them on the bill 🙄

[@kadiummusic]

@@hellfirepictures Then he's a twit!

[@BrianFeral1]

I genuinely like some of the womble songs. Mike Batt and all the other "wombles" were genuine musicians/songwriters and some of the tunes have some cool melodies. Its not like smurfs or chipmunks all speeded up. I actually think their tunes are UNDERrated. Call me crazy. My favourite tunes apart from THEME and REMEMBER.. are Womblin Merry Xmas, Superwomble and From Wimbledon with love which is fuckin brilliant

[@stevejohnson8099]

Just now discovering the Wombles now in 2020 and in America - this is one of the greatest pop songs I've ever heard. Wombles RULE!!!!!

[@hellfirepictures]

You need to check out their albums. Fantastic eclectic 70s music. These guys have consistently been in the UK charts for nearly 50 years :D

[@muff-puff.]

Oh stop exaggerating, will you, please 🙏. One of the greatest pop songs 🎵 🙄. Go back to sleep 😴 💤. Hugs 🫂 🤗. 😁😆😂🤣🤣🤣🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭👍❤️

[@AndysEastCoastAdventures]

The man behind them is Mike Batt, a musical genius and also lead in the Buggles. No idea if thats him in costume though?

[@javierduhart336]

@@AndysEastCoastAdventures ​​⁠it is Mike Batt in costume and singing! Saw it on his Wikipedia page.

[@richardupton3323]

@@AndysEastCoastAdventures na mike batt wasnt in the buggles.

[@AndyG13GLA]

Today marks 50 years since the Wimbledon first appeared on BBC TV & this is the first I see that they played Glastonbury. Where did the time go? Glad to see they are still part of British cultural significance & still Wombling Free.

[@alanrobertson5665]

Loved them as a kid and still do at 52

Uncle Bulgaria is amazing, he doesn't look a day over 340.

[@SpareRoomMusic12]

Just brilliant

[@DoctorMagick]

wonderful, wonderful, wonderful

[@hsbrockman]

Oh this is wonderful!

[@michaelbennett65]

I'd have thought we were almost more likely to see Elvis live in 2011 than this - loved it to bits!

[@cliverocks25]

LET'S GET READY TO WOMBLE!!! Great Fun! Wonderful to have it in TV quality (as not recorded by BBC). Thanks for posting.

[@kadiummusic]

The BBC are pathetic.

[@vanillaorchid]

Madame Cholet rocking out there.

[@kadiummusic]

Just wonderful! Or do I mean wombleful! 😁

[@brianclayton1039]

And Eavis said he never wanted them there. Look at the faces of the audience!

[@jackiemann20]

Back to my childhood, brilliant!

[@JaytinFmly]

Ok a little behind the times but I've only just stumbled across this band & I love this song. Metal has he deepest pool of talent in the entire music industry! Fucking fact!

[@izcallifornication]

I`M FROM MEXICO AND I LOVE THIS SHIT!

[@rachaelpearce3022]

I loved these guys when I was younger and I still love them

[@gothecold]

queens of the stone age just pipped the wombles for my performance of the weekend,top notch stuff!

[@MarlynHutchison]

When I watch this I always laugh as how it turns grown ups into little kids just enjoying themselves and not acting cool lol that's the magic of the wobbles and I'm 74

[@thetragicyouth]

Kudos to Mike Batt! And is that Adrian Chiles on sax...? Come on Eavis, let's have a Seventies Stage in 2013 - Rubettes, Alvin Stardust, Showaddywaddy and The Wombles back!

[@willhickman2578]

I remember Torchy, the battery boy.

[@esther1uk]

That was brilliant. Thanks for posting. Nice to see them looking so well after all this time!

[@crispyw67]

Genius!!!

[@elojim01]

Fantastic, we want more :-)

[@Rainandfloodlights]

I recorded 6 hours of BBC Glasto highlights and not even the smallest clip of the Wombles! BBC need to review their diversity policy as it is clearly Womblist.

[@twerpantine]

sorry. its brilliant. i must go to the car boot and see if i can get them all on vinyl again.

[@jackiemann20]

+twerp antine I had a 3 album box set and the superwomble album, my dad gave them away :-(

[@marlynhutchison4525]

Jackie do you still speak to your dad lol

[@antsman88]

"mate, i was so stoned at Glastonbury at one point i thought the wombles came on stage!"

[@MrEnglishfox]

thanks for sharing..........

[@marlynhutchison4525]

After seeing Glastonbury this year 2022 and all the rubbish left behind it's a pity the wombles were not there to make them pick up after themselves

[@ruthrobertson3546]

I loved them

[@akrogirl32]

Great to see Forest being well represented!

[@oleelaura1]

@TPxRAG3x so am i and i still love them ever since 2 years old

[@user-md3rn2dk1c]

Glastonbury: Watching this being certain your coke was spiked with something exotic - then realising it is just the 70s before your eyes.

[@IonSpringfield]

And the DVD of the concert is coming when....?

[@DerektheFan1]

Is there a Womble tribute band about and if so what are they called ? Great video by the way !Rather watch the Wombles than the X Factor rubbish !

[@Clem_Fandango11]

Wellington playing a Flying V 😂😂😂😂😂😂 The original Wellington went on to produce the Sex Pistols "Never Mind The B*ll*cks" Album.

[@skawashers]

I would pay good money to see a stage invasion by Brian Pern heading for Mike Batt.

[@HaardBaroque]

Soo British ... The refrain reminds in some way about Ian Hunter =) Both the singing and the character of it. Completely wonderful =D

[@blakes8126]

Hello!

[@darrenvoysey6913]

loved it, my nan was a massive fan...pity these fans are either too young or foreign!

[@miscu99]

@nancyrowina what do you mean by costume? He's a Womble, and everyone from Wimbledon knows, Wombles are real ;o)

[@marlynhutchison4525]

Squiddge said they ran out of breath and their voices cracked well so would his if he'd been wombleing up the rubbish on Wimbledon common before driving to somerset lol

[@ericholland7694]

yes fantastic.remember the originals.
