Leicester artist plays in Italy and Glastonbury in one weekend
Speaking to the BBC, Munroe said: "I don't think I've actually realised how amazing this is, to be at this point in my career and get to do not only one show, but four shows at Glastonbury is actually insane."Munroe said she played the Lonely Hearts Club stage on Friday with the MOBO UnSung showcase, and afterwards she did an "impromptu" show for Black at Glasto.After the show, the musician went back to her accommodation, packed and travelled straight to London Stansted airport to catch her flight to Italy.Munroe said she played twice in Pisa, once at 14:00 and again at 22:00, and slept in between.The artist described the travelling as "quite easy", as the logistics were worked out in advance, but added the experience was "long and tiring".
'It was insane'
After returning to Glastonbury on Sunday morning, she played twice more to round off the weekend.On Sunday, Munroe performed at the Terminal 1 stage with DJ Ace and Everything R&B, and later on she got called up by Lisa Maffia and So Solid Crew to play a song with them on the same stage. Munroe said she was "floored" when Maffia asked her to go on stage to perform a song with them as she had "grown up on their music". She added: "I didn't for one minute think that she would see me in the crowd and be like 'yeah you're coming up on stage'."It was insane."Munroe added she was going to do "everything in my power" to return to Glastonbury to perform with her band. "It was just a whole experience. I'm so, so glad to have been a part of it," she said.

Thirty years after Gazza signed for Rangers, Mail Sport recalls the madness and the magnificence of the England superstar's spell in Scotland
It was a long way to ask a short question. Arriving at Glasgow Airport for an early morning flight to Rome in the summer of 1995, Walter Smith travelled as much in hope as expectation of hearing the answer he wanted. Paul Gascoigne 's Italian odyssey had run its course. After a promising first season in which he'd helped to restore the fortunes of Lazio, the mutual attraction had faded, and a parting of the ways was deemed best for both parties.

Lewis Capaldi gives fans a health update and says he's feeling 'the best he's felt in a long time' as Scotsman opens up on 'the worst moment of his life' at Glastonbury in 2023
Lewis Capaldi has revealed he's no longer on antidepressants and is feeling the 'best he's felt in a long time' in a new health update. The adored Scotsman, 28, made his return to music almost two weeks ago with an epic and emotional performance at Glastonbury. It came almost exactly two years after he broke down on the very same stage, prompting a hiatus during which Lewis was forced to focus on improving both his physical and mental health. But after taking some time away from the limelight and the 'pressures' of being a star, Lewis says that he's now 'doing much better' and is no longer taking the antidepressant Sertraline. 'I'm not on antidepressants anymore,' he told fans on a livestream. 'It was f*****g hard to get off it. You could say I survived getting off Sertraline but let's not get into that. 'This is happy stuff, I'm trying to share less.' He later added: 'I've felt the best I've felt in a long time through therapy. 'I think I will always be an anxious person, accepting that's always going to be there for me is a big thing. It's about how I respond to anxiety.' Lewis, who marked his return with the new track Survive which has soared to Number 1, also opened up about the 2023 set at Glastonbury, calling the performance 'the worst moment of my life'. He candidly admitted: 'I think I probably knew two songs into the set at Glastonbury that I couldn't do it. 'I was on stage and I was on complete autopilot. In my head I was feeling a thousand miles away and I watched it back and I feel sad. As far as I was concerned, I was done indefinitely. 'I didn't need to break to focus on getting better, I took a break because I needed a break to release the pressure valve a little bit. 'I was achieving my dream. If there was a film, I've got to the end and I've done it. But it's not how I thought it would be. 'The thing that I wanted to do most made me feel the worst. Watching it, I just see someone who is completely not there and having the worst moment of his life'. The singer too spoke about therapy, and how difficult he finds motivating himself to attend sessions. In an attempt to help supporters, Capaldi has teamed up with BetterHelp to offer 734 hours of free therapy to fans. The number marks the amount of days he spent away from the music industry. He said: 'I was lying my way through therapy before. I was telling them what I thought they wanted to hear or things I'd read online so I could get out of there as quickly as possible. 'I struggle most weeks to get myself up and go to therapy - even to go to open my laptop and talk to the therapist can be really difficult.' Lewis's new tune Survive, which candidly details his struggles over the past two years, shifted a whopping 68,500 units in its first week, beating competition from the likes of Sabrina Carpenter to Number 1. It also marked the singer's biggest first week ever in another landmark achievement. Gushing about the support he's received since his highly-anticipated comeback last week, Lewis said: 'Survive is this week's UK Number 1, and I want to say a massive thank you to everybody who's been streaming it, downloading it - it really means the world. 'I've been away for a little while and to come back to this outpouring of love and support has been absolutely incredible. 'I can't thank everybody enough for all the kind words since Glastonbury - and now this! 'It's been the best week of my life. I hope you continue to enjoy the song, it means a lot to me.' On the day of the track's release, Lewis took to the stage at Glastonbury, emotionally telling supporters: 'Two years ago I wasn't sure if I'd ever do this again, but I'm back baby!' He sang a number of his famous hits, before once chocking back tears as he performed Survive for the first time in front of scores of supporters. Fans in the crowd could be seen crying and calling out his name before joining him in a rendition of mega-hit Someone You Loved. In his heart-warming speech, Lewis said: 'Glastonbury it's good to be back. Won't say too much up here today as if I do I might start crying, but I can't thank you enough for coming here and being with here'. 'Second times a charm hey! It's a short set today but just wanted to come and finish what I couldn't last time, also this was like the worst kept f*****g secret ever'. Amid the success of the performance and that of his tear-inducing new single, the Scotsman announced a new tour this week consisting of 10 dates. The Someone You Love singer will play venues in Sheffield, Aberdeen, Birmingham, Nottingham and two days at the 02 later this year. Lewis confirmed on Instagram that these would be his 'only shows' in the UK, Ireland and Europe this year.
