Newton Faulkner

[jimmyt]

Apparently he has just confirmed himself on Twitter, stating that he didn't yet know what stage he would be on but he will be there. I have no opinion on him at all, so just passing on news.

A solid addition...

Substitute solid with dull and that sounds about right

his music offends me.

his cover of Teardrop appalled me.

Seen him at the Isle of Wight tyhink it was 2008 and suprisingly (for me anyway) he was really good, he had that rare something about him that really comunicated with the crowd between songs that really seemed to win people over and dismiss prejudices, shame about the bits inbetween the chat (actually I did like those bits as well )

[cdm22]

Saw him for free at Cambridge's Strawberry Fair in the beer tent a couple of years ago and he just seemed to be yet another crusty bloke who plays a guitar. I don't get the appeal myself, plenty more of them on the streets of any town playing for beer money!

well i like him would be well boring if were all the same tho

[Vieuphoria]

Same position as The Magic Numbers i thought. No real appeal but a good festival act for an early morning set in the sun. I have no ill feeling toward the man. I'm sure he writes a lovely ditty

Having to get through the other stage field is a chore at the best of times, doing it to the soundtrack of this stinking douchebag murdering bohemian rhapsody was the worst 5 minutes of 2008. that's the whole of 2008.

Queen were always shit.

I really quite like Newton Faulkner. His two albums are pretty good, he seems like a pretty humble guy and has a fair bit of stage presence and charisma. Dreadlocks on a white guy - especially ginger ones (a la Dick Hucknall) are obviously a criminal act (especially with a chin full of ginger pubes) but I'll forgive him that.

Caught most of his Avalon set last year and enjoyed it. Saw him on tour before that. Would definitely see him again.
