MUSIC festival devotees Caroline and Simon took their daughter to Electric Picnic when she was 10 months old — and with baby ear protectors she slept through one of the loudest bands ever, My Bloody Valentine.

The couple who live on the north coast with daughters Emily, 9, and Alice, 7, were Glastonbury devotees before their kids were born and now they festival together.
