Stockport band Blossoms arrive at Glastonbury to find hotel rooms aren't ready...so clean them themselves

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

They might be one the most successful pop bands in the UK, but Stockport band Blossoms were forced to clean their own hotel rooms when the pre-booked accommodation they were staying in ahead of Glastonbury Festival was not ready. The band, who are playing The Other Stage at Worthy Farm this afternoon, were even forced to put on their own bed sheets.

Blossoms recounted the tale to Zoe Ball on the BBC 2 Breakfast Show this morning, which was broadcast live from Glastonbury. Before performing their hit song ‘Girlfriend’, frontman Tom Ogden chatted to Ball about “one of the worst journeys” they had ever had.

As Ogden explained: “So, we won’t name the hotel, but we booked a hotel, paid for seven rooms and when we got there at midnight they were like ‘four of the rooms are available, bit three aren’t ready, so if you drive twenty minutes to Bristol centre’.

“And we said, ‘give us the bed sheets, we’ll go and change it.” Zoe Ball, audibly shocked by the turn of events, responded: “You changed your own beds!”

Indeed they did: “We changed our own beds, I was looking at everyone and we were like we’re playing Glastonbury on Friday why is this happening to us, but you know what, it keeps you grounded doesn’t it - changing your beds in the hotel?”

It seemed the band, who had travelled down to Glastonbury from Stockpot could laugh at their misfortune though, with Ogden even joking his wife Katie had been cleaning the toilets. Zoe Ball remarked: “We’ll all be like you know what they are playing at Glastonbury, but you’re still well rounded those boys.”
