Why would UW be at the Spirit of '71 stage?  It dosen't make sense.  They didn't release their first album until 1988 - or am I missing something?

Their engineers freelance with a myriad of different acts.

It isn't strictly for bands of that era - System 7 are playing that stage and so is A Guy Called Gerard (allegedly live for something like 6 hours on the Thurs night (!) - anyone know how this is going to work?!).

there's a little Spirit of '71 in all of us, man.

Did anyone get a definite answer to this? Are they part of the late night thing at Spirit of 71 like Neil suspected? I seem to remember there was some doubt.

Cheers

I've never managed to pin down for sure whether they are or aren't, but if I had to guess I'd say they'll be involved somehow.

Underworld existed under a different name prior to '88. In '88 they 'formed' as Underworld after working with Funk-tion One. Karl told efestivals earlier this year that they'd be at Glasto this year.

Is that correct about the mega set from A Guy Called Gerald as well?? Hope so!!

[the-beast]

Just a guess but if it was Underworld involved I doubt I would be a proper live show, I think it would be more like trying to recreate a bit of their famous 12 hour dj/visual/live show they did at one of the soundsytems in 1992
