Memory Man

Hi all im sure many of you will have seen the maginificent paul currie perform over the years at the festival on the riser stages in theatre and circus Paul has been performing at glastonbury for 13 years and has just confirmed he has been blocked from performing this year and will not be able to appear. Paul makes no secret of his support for Palestine but he has been targeted by zionist groups trying to cancel him and ruin his career unjustly. Other than the contact form on the festival website, are there any email addresses for people / departments at the festival anyone could pass on to try and contact the organisers about this? it feels insane for Paul to have been falsely cancelled by both soho theatre and now the festival he has been performing at without issue for 13 years. I will be trying to contact the festival to express my disappointment and hopefully i can count on some of you to do the same? Paul’s instagram that explains more is here: https://www.instagram.com/paulcurriecomedian?igsh=Z21nNDRxZzl2Y2c0

Extremely lucky to have had a family member get in and buy for us this eve. Feeling very grateful! 3 more tickets to get on sunday tho, so no celebrations yet

Im not bothered by the national but a friend is, will the razz sell out to VIP or do you think they will keep some back for general?

Starting to belive the annie mac thing. Woefully crap / budget if true. im sure some will enjoy but just really showing that theres no money in the pot for acts

Listened to to it, there is more that she isnt letting on, obviously. must be a collaborative / interative type of performance where her djing is part of a larger thing. Think about it logically a straight up dj set is not going to work in that scenario.

No but think it about it logically and it doesnt make any sense at all when was the last time a DJ set opened a main bands stage at any major music festival, never mind glastonbury? if thats what it is, its completely bizarre programming not to mention very glastonbudget who wants to see someone dj’ing a huge stage at 11:30am at a festival? it must be some kind of different / special collaborative thing or something. Maybe an orchestra or something? i havent minded her over the years but she’s a DJ not a musician.

It will be this an annie mac di set is not opening a main stage 😂 probs glade or something

Bimble inn stock burrow hill, the same as the cider bus

Thanks Matthew for organising! Any helpers would be hugely appreciated 🙏🏼

Are we realistically thinking razz for the likely national show and then hopefully the apolo for people like me who want to see the other stuff billed for the city on the weds that isnt the national? Forum is an easy skip for me that day.

She would only be available for the thursday and thats already stacked so cant see anything being added to the thursday. She is out

Will sell tickets to a demographic that does not frequent efestivals dot co dot uk Its not for me whatsoever but obvious why these acts are booked

Lots of acts will just not take a pay cut to play and this is one of many

I love this idea but cant imagine the block 9 crew would be too pleased They’ve had the notting hill carnival takeover down there but still fairly low key

Spot on as always ben. Your eloquence is admirable!
