Seasick Steve

[Rhymenoceros]

This has probably been covered before... but I heard somewhere (probably on 6 music) that Seasick basically all but confirmed he would play this year.

I remember seeing him on the Pyramid in 2008, and I was wondering if he is playing would he do the same early afternoon slot he did then or, seeing as he is a bit more recognised now, work his way up the billing? I really enjoyed his set and thought it fit in perfectly with the time of day, but it would have been nice for him to been on a little longer...

AWESOME news if true - if you remember exactly where and have a link, could you share it? Not that I'm doubting you!

I love this guy.

I don't know if you use Facebook, but I'm a 'fan' of his on there, and someone has posted a clip of him turning up to an open mic night in a random pub in London and playing a song. It's brilliant.

As for the bill - he played several times in 2008 including headlining the Acoustic Tent. Same again would be great.

[feefeetee]

Would be good if he did, would like to see him do the Acoustic again

[Steve P]

A fellow member of Team Steve is always a welcome addition to the Glastonbury lineup

[Filthy]

Loved him in 08, however I see him as a bit of a 1 trick pony, not sure I'd bother again. Great entertainer though

Incidentally did you read the NME review of I Started Out With Nothing...? Utter balls mate. That magazine is only useful in the longdrops if you get my drift

SeaSick Steve was relatively unknown when I saw him at Glastonbury 2008. Now he has been on the Brits I loved his little video about getting to Glastonbury -think it is part of the Glastonbury Movie (2006) or was part of the Glastonbury highlights on TV...

I first saw him on jools holland and thats what made us go and see him in 2008.

We try and pick someone random every year who we dont know much about and go and see them and it was seasick steve in 2008 and how glad we we're.

[Rhymenoceros]

good grief, I knew the nme was a massive trough of monkey spunk but that is something else. Who is this james mcmahon? What a turd

Hope he plays - seen him 3 times (all at Glasto - twice in '07 and once in '08) and always enjoyable.

[YouWhat]

He's ok once or maybe twice,he tends to be a bit boring after a while. If he does play i would like to see him try something different.

Hope this is true...

Been hoping that he's announced on the full line up for months...

Have you got a link LW - can't find it on the facebook page?

[plaskins]

I remeber seeing him on the pyramid in 2007, there was hardly anybody there (a couple of hundred at most) - great gig! By 2008 he had hired a drummer & the crowd had grown massively! Great entertainer, and comes across as a very nice guy

[In transit]

Sure. Here's the text:

From Steve's Facebook page:

For all those that have been asking, we'll hopefully soon be announcing summer festivals in the UK, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, Netherlands, Belgium, and possibly more! I can't confirm anything yet, but we're working hard and have a LOT of offers on the table. If all goes to plan, Seasick Steve will be playing at least one European festival every weekend throughout the summer!

Ive seen Steve twice in the past two years, once at the 02 Academy in Bristol and the same venue in Birmingham, both gigs ruined by selfish people who talked through his set, if he is at Glasto this year then fingers crossed he gets a littl more respect for his great work on three strings!
