    Ahead of news that Dandelion, the bus will be returning to Glastonbury, we’re dropping a couple of ‘extra’s’ as part of our OPEN UP series, recorded (and never released before now), at Glasto ‘17. This one features an ‘in conversation with..’ esteemed beauty writer Sali Hughes and her best friend author Caitlin Moran (who turned up for the fun of it) on the theme of image, beauty and the future. All recorded in front of a small crew, who turned up having seen the Q&A advertised on a chalk board outside the bus.
