  1. It's his son that's the fox hunter, right? Dunno if Fezza himself partakes. I think he's just a middle of the road tory in the way that folk like Pete Townshend and Mick Jagger are.
  2. She was absolutely great on the Other Stage 5 years back and then a few months later supporting T. Swift on her stadium tour.
  3. Can't get a fag paper between For Your Pleasure and the contemporaneous Bowie albums in terms of quality.
  4. Agreed - which is why they're not a bang on fit for the slot and it'll be a way quietr more sedate affair than recent high points.
  5. That is what it is, though.
  6. Only in the last couple of years. And as mentioned, this is more of an ELO level booking and they were below Beck on the poster.
  7. Nah. Both have got albums well worth exploring. Roxy more so than ELO who're more of a singles band, but the first 4 or 5 Roxy albums are gold. I slapped on Country Life yesterday and it sounded great. Doesn't mean a packed Pyramid Field going taps aff, of course.
  8. Doubt they'd have her back so soon.
  9. As discussed in the other thread, the Pyramid field can and does cope fine with ginormo-crowds.
  10. The only one I read was, er, mixed. Noted the Fezza pipes not being what they were, which would be fair enough on the evidence of the solo show I saw 4 or 5 years back.
  11. They're on the road for the first time in yonks. Makes sense. Feels right.
  12. I dunno. It's not like ELO prompted any great shift.
  13. Security guards in formation,miming blowing up disposable darlings.
  14. Yeah - it was in the setlist of the first show of the tour a couple of nights ago.
  15. Pretty popular in the mainstream for a while circa Avalon and that - but didn't subsequently pick up lots of new fans the way Bowie did.
  16. Having your girlfriend nicked by Mick Jagger whilst crooning a song about a blow up sex doll.
  17. Dressing up like Brian Fezza, but just ending up sweaty with all chafing.
  18. I'll be there and will dig it, but difficult to foresee it inspiring the same levels of discotastic joy as the likes of Kylie, Bazza and Diana.
  19. Too lazy to do it myself, but dedicated Roxy Music thread required to filter it away from folk still focused on the Spice Girls.
  20. The 3 year gap since the last one doesn't ease the butterflies.
  21. Nah. Would be Kylie / Dolly levels for sure - but just because a crowd is big it doesn't mean its dangerous.
  22. Fair enough - just that I dunno if the Spices were ever particularly likely. Or certainly not to the extent where it should be someone's deciding factor.
  23. You should maybe stress that - even without the Roxy Music news - they'd still be a very much an outside bet.
