Sleaford Mods just tore up Glastonbury, drawing a massive crowd to the John Peel tent during their mid-afternoon set. 

Taking to the stage after recent sparring Slaves, the Notts duo packed out the tent with fans spilling out well into the field - as Jason Williamson and Andrew Fearn delivered a highlight performance of the day, loaded with beats, bravado and some poetically foul-mouthed language. 

Mentioning Slaves, frontman Jason Williamson said: "Did you enjoy the support band? Did you? Who was it? Take That?"

"Are their any locals in?" smirked Williamson, "what's it like for jobs?" before rushing into 'Jobseeker' in just one peak of many in a set that we daresay they'll struggle to air on the BBC's daytime coverage this weekend. 

The crowd were eating from the palm of his hand, fully engaged - particularly duing '6 Horseman (The Brixtons)' when he posed the question "Johnny Borrell fucks off to an island for four months at the height of his fame, was the country bothered?"

The volume of their response shows where Glasto's allegances lie: "was it fuck!"

Their bitterness made a welcome break to the otherwise serene atmosphere on this sunny Somerset day - that's not to say it wasn't a show full of love. With a simple call to arms with "COME ON" and a subtle thumbs up, the tent erupted in rapture as the band left the stage. 

We're glad their star has finally risen so high - and we'll be chuffed when then burst on to bigger stages in the years to come.
