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’.
