The Dharmas - Glastonbury 1995 

Absolutely love seeing this! Saw you in Robertsbridge numerous times, Hastings pier, black horse, & Glastonbury, great memories even if they do make me feel very old!

Ellie. Thanks for posting. Nice to see a full concert. Still remember the NYE Pier, and Black Horse

I’ve seen very few exceptional unsigned bands in my lifetime but that’s what The Dharmas were. 1 in 1000 bands. The vibe, the energy, the songs. “Lightning in a bottle” a phrase used too often perhaps but thats exactly what this band were. Something magical unable to be exploited or constrained by the record labels who half-heartedly made an attempt to understand them at the time. Crowds would go effing nuts for this band wherever they went, utterly infectious vibes, newcomers quickly converted..lol. A secret favourite underground band, a slowly emerging secret to a feverish fan base. I saw em on the back of a lorry, in a tiny London club, playing to a hundred people and then thousands of people. I bought the t shirts, early demos on cassette tapes…One of the best alternative bands of the 90s? Probably. Thanks for posting this, I’ve been looking for a full live performance of The Dharmas for decades, what memories! ☮️

Hi Ellie - Thank you so much for uploading this! People can boast about seeing whatever massively famous band at Glastonbury - and that's OK. But there is nothing quite like the pleasure of discovering something new and flat-out amazing. That was the Dharmas for me, somewhere in the audience, you guys seemed like Michael Eavis' "house band" that year. I forgot just how many great songs you had - and it is worth mentioning that Glastonbury sets of over an hour are normally the stuff of headline acts (Pulp played for an hour that year). Great memories of a remarkable band - and best cover of "Good Vibrations" ever!

OMG… thank you! Please we need “Lifelong Shiner” 🥲 We miss you The Dharmas & Steadman ❤

Hey Ellie. John (Seven Little Sisters) here - we shared a lot of stages with you in the 90’s. Memories of a ‘Murphys Tour’! Cheers for uploading this - it’s fab to see you guys doing what you did so well. Hope you’re all keeping well x

So great to hear these songs again. You had a great following here in West Wales after performing at the Cilgerran Harvest fair.

Oh, this will be good. Never saw them/you at Glastonbury, but discovered them/you in '95. Time to put on my nostalgia goggles and wallow.

Thanks for sharing this Ellie. Can't believe this was nearly 30 years ago. I have so many happy memories of the Dharmas, it was a pleasure to share some of that time with you all and to be able to introduce you on the Avalon Stage.

Ellie. Thank you. You’ve made an old man happy! I’ve waited 28 years to see this footage and was down the front. I got quite emotional watching this so many years later. A shame that "Book Inside You" got chopped after "Runaway" on the vid. (I have an audio of the gig) Always loved that track. Followed you guys from the first gig on the trailer at Glasters till Steadman and beyond. I used to have The Dharmas myspace page. Thanks again :)

saw you so many times back in the day: Rhyl, Chester University, Keele University, London Dingwalls to name a few…..

Wow. I was just asking about The Dharmas on a Facebook group...crusty travellers... someone posted this link. I loved ypu guys back in the day. I bought a tape off a guy at Dingwalls that was a recording of one of your gigs.. I was gutted when I lost the tape years later... are there any more recordings of rhe dharmas playing live anywhere. Thanks Ellie. ❤ x
