1 thing to add,did the bugger who kicked my last 4 litres of fuel on sunday night in the stone circle field enjoy playing with it? i do hope so cos it will ease my mysery at not being able to set fire to stuff on the last night by knowing at least someone had some fun, even if they are a robbing [censored]!

If your looking to find out who went, i would suggest looking [Old link]

hi people

I went to Glastonbury and was amazed by the poi and fire spinning i watched up by the stone circle. If that was any of you guys you kicked a*s*s. so much so that you encouraged me to go buy some poi and have a go. I live in Bristol and would like to hook up with any other spinners in the area. I see they are quite a few.

Gayle.....!

i'd be happy to do either lass, either to make u some or send u all the gubbins ya need to make some youself. The electronics are kinda complicated for an absolute beginner and soldering can be tricky to start with but is simple once ya get the hang of it. and while mine LOOK ace in action i'd have to redesign em n the switches n everything if i was gonna contemplate charging anyone for em...they kinda LOOK home made. but already this morning before we started this chat about em i sussed a way of making me next set look loads better. Up to you..can make ya some or send ya the info. x

I dont wanna sound cheeky but i really would appreciate it if you could make them for me - i never was good at tech at skool! How much do u think it will cost? Would it work out easier to buy them - even tho i dont know where from!

Your a total angel!!!

blushes at le angel comment! nice of u to notice. not cheeky at all to ask me to make ya some, i offered to didnt i? think in total it would cost around 20 notes..and for that they will look pretty damn cool whether being spun or just carried about, and be hard wearing enough to last being packed in a back pack n carrind about all day. can do em in yellow red blue geen or a combination of all the colours....the blue looks REALLY cool...kind of a deep, purply blue. your choice whther ya would prefer to buy from an official maker or buy mine...suppose mine ARE a bit of a risk...however if n when they ever stop working i'll repair them for free for ya. let me know what ya decide x

I have been to Glastonbury over the past 10 years and was so dissapointed to see how few firesters there was this year- not to mention the buggers that walked of with my parrafin and chains without telling me- so much for team spirit. Last time i throw in my parrafin to help out, oonly kidding. Glastonbury got me into fire, i was mesmerised by it at the Stone Circle the last year the travellers were there in force. The place appeared to be alive in flames and there would be groups of 10 jugglers everywhere you looked. However on a positive note i forgot just how inspiring, liberating and totally mind blowing Glastonbury is, i was doing new moves that i never thought i had in me and have ideas to work on until next year. To all those that did turn up and spin once again i learnt loads of you all and enjoyed seeing everyone have a good time, wicked. Nothing better than the smell of paraffin and a good whisky to share with folk on a clear night. Keep an eye out for Littlepiggy next year (you'll recognise my ears!) and keep the fire burning.

Littlepiggy
P.S. If anyone fancies joining me and a few of my mates on the banks of Loch lomond to mess about with fire at the end of the month, 31st, get in touch.
