    Why would they play for free? 

     

    Reputation laundering. Getting back in people's good graces.

    Normally I see where you're coming from, but I'd be ashamed of the festival if they took that approach. 

     

    On any given year you can find wrong 'uns on the bill.

  3. I dunno. If they offer up a secret set on a smaller stage playing Funeral would the festival really turn it down?  Getting a freebie from a former headliner - albeit with a tarnished rep - is a way of shoring up a weaker line up.

    Was there ever confirmation the riff was nicked by The Sweet? I seem to remember Blockbuster came out before Jean Genie? At the time, it was assumed The Sweet stole it off Bowie. And, like everything, neither was completely original but it was odd they both came out within a short time of each other. 

    I doubt anyone wanted to get into a mud-slinging match over it given its obviously very 'inspired' by Bo Diddley and Muddy Waters, e.g 

     

     

     

  5. OK. I'm down with Avalon or somewhere getting on the dog'n'bone to Andy Scott for an afternoon Sweet-fest. 

     

    Chinnichap tunes are low key goated when glam rock is the vibe.

  6. My entire team are super-hyped for Justice again and fair play, but I'm definitely seeing the attraction of SZA. Don't want to end the weekend on a solo mission but equally SZA is a bit of a special talent, and it could well end up being a You Should Have Been There sort of show.
