Amsterdam storm Glastonbury
A 7-piece Amsterdam played what Ian described as 'probably the best show of my entire career' on Sunday afternoon to a crowded Acoustica tent. The boys stormed through a 10-song set and finished with an impromptu Irsh dance from flute player Eimear.
The final song Name and number lasted for about 10 minutes as the band took the roof off the place.
Band blogs concerning the event will be online in the next few days. Photos can be seen at myspace.com/amsterdamhq (MySpace login required).
