Yeah I’m pretty disappointed Corto Alto isn’t available on the BBC. My wife works in the music industry. They are a MASSIVE deal in the jazz industry she works in. But not available on the BBC coverage. Surely they can broadcast everyone on iPlayer.Quote:

The term misfits has been used about Glastonbury for over 50 years.
:greengrin Yep, that must be it. I couldn't possibly have formed that opinion by myself.Quote:

As Roy Harper headlines the acoustic stage tonight, playing as a duo with his genius guitarist son, Nick, I wonder if the BBC will film any of it?
Roy's 84 and doing three farewell gigs, aside from Glastonbury and is a national treasure.
Full set available on BBC iPlayer now and it is absolutely fabulous. Nae red arrows though, sorry.Quote:

There is is. The obligatory Celtic top in the crowd for Rod Stewart. The perfect attire for festivals, weddings, funerals and everything in between.
Racist Rod with a dreadful start. Suffering it because my wife wants to see it as there's nothing else on.
We’ve got to give Rod Stewart a chanceQuote:

He's obviously a cock but I don't think he's been too bad so far. His voice is shot but that's been the case since about 1997. He's trying to put on a show and he's a bit like a no bad karaoke singer hamming up Rod Stewart. The OTT backing band, singers and production is obviously all to hide his voice and it's working to an extent.
Absolutely cackling at the sudden clamouring to decry Bob Vylan from the organisers. You surely knew who the **** you were booking when you reached out to their management pre-festival. I’ve seen them live twice and they’re incendiary across lots of social and cultural issues: unashamedly and explicitly so.
Not going to enter into debate on this thread about the political merits or problems with them (or Kneecap), but if you book acts like that, you get exactly what you expect. Don’t pretend or act surprised.

Neil Young? I agree, he hugely exceeded my expectations.Quote:

Rod Stewart is painful, switched to Black Uhuru, Motherwell F.C flag at the front of the crowd.
Not starting up another debate on this thread. As I said in 1977 he gave the best live performance I've ever seen (maybe other than The Clash) and I'll leave it there.Quote:
