I wonder how we could suggest to the Festival that maybe the New Talent comp should start off as a vote type thing?

Could put tracks up online, and have a proper online Talent Comp.

G Factor style....

I dunno, I do quite like the fact that the Glasto comp is based on talent rather than popularity - gives people who are really good but haven't found a big audience yet a chance, unlike the awful 'road to V' nonsense or similar. Of course, if it was just up to the eFests boarders than I think we'd stand a chance :P

Oh and I think one of the final 'play-off' spots is down to a public vote this year so the nation shall have their say.

Indeed it does folks - we got our application in on New Year's Eve as apparently there's another slot up for grabs for 'early bird entries' (at Queen's Head I think) before Dec 31st.

Here is our entry if you lot fancy a gander - it was pretty difficult deciding which 2 tracks to put forward, hope you think we made good choices...

My uni folk-pop band entered but I'm not sure I fancy our chances; our recordings are pretty rough around the edges as none of us really know how to mix them. :P

Thought it was worth a shot anyways.

Can give us a listen here if anyone's interested: http://www.myspace.com/tabloidvivant

The myspace is a bit tatty too - we only made it so we could enter.

Good luck to any of you who entered! xx

I love listening to new music , it does indeed get the old blood flowing and have been listening to the final 12 in the ETC and i have a few faves that must play at Glasto. Check out their Myspace sites. I wish i lived near Pilton so i could get to see these bands play in the finals at the Pilton mens working club.

They are :

Mayhew ( hoping they will win! )

Lets buy Happiness

Family Machine

Ellen and the Escapades

Good luck to you guys, i guess we might even catch some of you in the BBC introduction or Q tents this year.

      Tbf that happened to me in 2022 so not a one off. 40 euros to drive down 3 streets. I'd have done a runner but the reason for getting the taxi in the first place is cos I couldn't walk no more.

      I was fully prepared (waterproof jacket, extra pair of socks, foldable umbrella), but after four hours in the rain (from Geese through Oklou to Florence Road), it was just too much. Already at the hotel, let's hope tomorrow's better.

      It’s rare that I watch question time, but I almost felt sorry for Kenyon, he seemed like a guy just brought off the street which effectively is what he was, made worse by the fact Burnham and the Tory guy were very strong debaters. I think Burnham was very aware not to go too hard on Kenyon and risk him getting sympathy, in fact he pretty much ignored him.
