Oi leave the members alone.  What's this about them being middle class . "The Sound of The Suburbs" was a celebration of suburban middle England punk, they were rebelling against the working class/inner city cliches of punk. They were on the London scene in 1977 and like The Stranglers are a great example of the roots of Uk punk not the cartoon hardcore dog on a string scene it became. I for one will be there at midnight I just hope they do Chelsea nightclub.

Thanks for the tips on punk at Glasto.. I will make sure I am there with my mate for a few of the bands mentioned

like Felna we both saw them last week & they are nothing like what they used to be in the good old days,yes they can still cut it live just,i suggest once you have seen them then you can form an opinion one way or another, more middle of the road Reggae now, see what you think.

Ok they do a couple of reggae songs they always did that even in 1977 but what I saw at iow was 3000 people singing along. Tell us who you enjoyed at iow and who you went to see. Instead of slagging off a bunch of guys doing their best.

Yeah for a couple of songs people were singing along, & yeah was pretty full the big top but there was no one else on & a lot were waiting for Squeeze, i'm not slagging them off as i really wanted to see them as like i said before i saw them in the 70's & thought they were great, did you see them in the 70's or have you seen them live at all apart from your armchair, if you have then i respect your opinion & if you havn't then how can you comment on what they are like now to back then until you see them, like i said this is my opinion & if you dont like it tough s**t.

I saw them the other week in Reading.    Enjoyable show, but I really like their '76 stuff from Damned, Damned, Damned best.  They kind of turned into a lounge singer act later on.  Still New Rose, Neat Neat Neat etc. were given good renditions.

Not to my knowledge - traditionally they were one of, if not the first to kick the whole thing off late on Thursday night down in LV. However I think Club Dada do have a hoedown type affair going on at some point, but don't think they're playing it. They are on on Saturday at The Lunar Sea Lounge and during the day at The Blazing Saddle stage.

Really liking the look of the Lunar Sea Lounge!!

I am glad I saw this thread.  Much as I love the mellow vibe at Glasto, I do need something with a bit of grunt as well.

Nevertheless, at 1am Saturday night I'm looking forward to joining an elderly crowd on zimmers shuffling from the Avalon Cafe and the Members to the Croissant Neuf to see The Beat.  I trust the St John's ambulance team will be on standby.

And before I'm accused of ageism, I'm in my late 40s...

Oh, don't forget The Stranglers at 2pm on the Other Stage on the Friday (though I know they're not the same without Huge).

I caught All those acts, The Stranglers Were Fantastic.. The Beat Rocked... and the Members Made me Feel like I was 17 again... Even tho these guys are Old the Music sounds fresh .... We got our wish and our bit of Glasto Punk...

I'm not really a punk kinda guy in general but this man defo speaks the truth   The Stranglers were one of my "must sees" and a most excellent time was had. I reckon the 2nd best band of the entire festi for me so far as having a real good time at the gig goes .

i didn't get the stranglers at all.  heard 5 songs and wandered off, probably not helped by feeling like i was melting.

big cheers for punks not dads - someone gets to go and home try to explain why they were building flat pack furniture on thursday night at glasto!
sicknote, pnuk, guns of navarone all had me dancing like a loon.  good times
