Your review of Rod Stewart at Glastonbury said that the great man was heralded on stage by the “blare of bagpipes” (29 June). Call me pedantic but surely you could have come up with a less pejorative term to describe the stirring sound of the pipes?

• If the UK government put as much effort into stopping Israel’s violence against the Palestinian people as they do into condemning stage acts at Glastonbury, there might be some grounds for hope (Streeting condemns anti-IDF chants at Glastonbury but says ‘Israel should get its own house in order’, 29 June).
