Candi Staton

Recommended Posts

At my first Glastonbury I was luck to stumble upon Candi Staton playing JazzWorld on a blistering hot Friday afternoon. She was immense, great personality, cracking voice and some belting tunes.

I suggest that those having a moan at the lineup have a pop over to the Park when she's playing and get yo' disco down!!

"Glastonbury Festival organisers have announced that Rolf Harris will open the Pyramid Stage on Friday, June 26, with Tinchy Stryder doing the same on Saturday and Yeovil Town Band following suit on Sunday, June 28.

Rolf whom we bumped into at Glasto last year recently celebrated his eightieth birthday and returns for his sixth Festival appearance, whilst Tinchy makes his Pyramid debut, having previously performed at the Dance Village. Yeovil Town Band appear for the first time since 2005.

Candi Staton, Avi Buffalo and Tony Allen have also been added to the just announced Park Stage, along with the 20-piece steel band Steel Harmony."

I can confirm that I saw this too, so it must have been removed. Probably released by accident, I hope so. Superb last time, Florence fans please note that this is how to sing.

Hearing Candi is playing has made my day, she was great the other year, brought a tear to my eye singing Young Hearts, a welcome return.

More Soul, Funk & Disco please, can't we dig out the Salsoul Orchestra for one last outing?

    • Well he is on a rape charge, don't see that one as controversial.    Although Hakimi is in Morocco squad.   
    • Electric Callboy just said they'll be touring here next year. I'm not sure there's a poster for it though. I'll look when I'm near some next.      He said we'll see you at Download at a gig before any of the band. Presumably he was trolling. They're in Austria at the moment and Germany tomorrow with a week's break and more shows in Germany. Whilst not impossible to come back here and then go over there again, it seems unlikely. 
    • Thomas Partey, knocked back by Canadian immigration now.
    • I'm sure someone can update you on the clashfinder, and it will be pretty accurate by the time the festival comes around. It's a large flat-ish arena with main stage in the open air, no best side I'd say. Leadmill (3rd stage medium tent) is at the back of the main arena, T'Other (2nd stage big tent) 5 min walk round the corner. At full capacity walking around can take a bit more time though. I noticed that The Enemy are scheduled to not fully overlap with Wolf Alice, so you could catch part of their set too.   You can walk around anywhere with a beer, with most bars the usual mass market stuff, but one nice craft ale tent, back of the arena near the Leadmill stage. A main meal will set you back £10-15, but cheaper snacks also available. Expect a pint to be £7-8. Possibly a bit more this year as prices everywhere are increasing.   It's fairly easy to get to from the town centre using the tram, although can be busy at peak times / very busy at curfew. If you like a walk, it's approx 40 mins to Kelham Island (lots of indy venues) and probably an hour to the city, or catch an Uber. There will be loads of 'fringe' music events on around the city right through the weekend. Most are free. Have a wonderful trip, enjoy the festival, and your stay in our city! 
    • I think people on a place like this, that clearly value live music more than most, don't. I'd rather an academy than an arena every day. But I could see a few people that care about "the gram" than the actual music wanting an arena experience even if it's a mid sized band.
