OK, so your mum and dad run the biggest and best festival in the world. You’re young, you’re learning an instrument, you have a lot to offer. Put the two together and what do you get? Embarrassment, that’s what. This is the infamous moment that a young Emily Eavis “performed” on the Pyramid Stage – in 1985, five years old and immediately prior to a smooth set of mod grooves from Mr Paul Weller and his Style Council.

“I was playing the violin in the house over the festival weekend and somebody said wouldn’t it be funny if you played on the Pryamid Stage? Within about 10 minutes, I was actually on the stage – I don’t know how it went from being an idea to actually happening so quickly. I just remember all these massive burly stage crew managers shouting, Turn the lights down! Because I couldn’t see anything!

“I walked out there in my dress which I used to wear to birthday parties and I played Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star. And that was it. It put me off being in a band for life. At the time, it was the only thing I could play and I had five encores, so I had to come back on and play the same tune five times. Michael wasn’t there – he was off sectioning a madman up a telegraph pole.” As you do.

This and more gob-smacking Glastonbury stories can be heard in the all-new Q The Jury podcast, in which Michael and Emily Eavis talk exclusively to Q Editor Paul Rees about life inside the Festival - the music, the mud and the nutters. Download it here
