The reviews are in from this past weekend's Glastonbury Festival, and while the Herald Sun would have you believe it was all about Gabriella Cilmi, it seems that expat and big mouth Sam Sparro was in particularly good favour with the Brits.

He was also on the bill at the legendary music fest, and here's what The Guardian's Alex Needham had to say about his festival slot (ooh err!):

Dress code: Sam Sparro is wearing a frankly outrageous ensemble consisting of skin-tight black and gold (geddit?) diagonally striped leather trousers and a multi-coloured vest. His three backing singers, meanwhile, wear tops bearing the letters "S.A.M."

In a nutshell: Sam Sparro is in ebullient form having scored one of the year's biggest hits with Black and Gold, and has the audience eating out of his hand. Easily engaging with a crowd that spills out of the dance tent, he mixes his own material with house classics in an exuberant set which perks up Sunday evening at a point where many might be starting to flag.

Because, you know, our press only really care about Aussie expats once they've been bigged-up overseas.
