Well said helsbells - I was there too - backstage as the FF'ers driver/tour manager for the weekend. One correction, the FF'ers DID complete their set (the sets on the introducing stage were only 20/25 minutes) - it was Underground Railroad who nearly lost their set because of a relatively small number of idiots who don't give a damn about music. All respect to the stage & festival organisers for the way they handled the situation, simply waiting the hooligans out (who, unsurprisingly, had a fairly short attention span).I should just add that, to the best of my knowledge, neither the FF-ers nor the BBC started the rumour about the Foos - but a brief Google search will show that there were a number of people who deliberately fanned the flames for no other reason than to cause trouble.
