IOW Coverage Sky Arts

[ark]

It was all pretty dire really - Liam Fray was probably the worst vocals I'd ever heard, Alexandra who?

KOL were OK - sent me to sleep zzzzzz

[DJL]

This really does make the BBC look good...

[rubenz]

Semi Precious Weapons on now. Not heard of them myself. Anyone a fan?

[ian_sw]

They seem to be hand picking the worst bands to show whilst teasing you by telling you either "Pulp have just been on and they did all the hits" or "you can hear the Foo Fighters in the background, now let's see a clip of some randoms in fishnets" !!!

That said Seasick Steve sounds quality

[rubenz]

Who is the irish presenter chap?

[olliet101]

Makes me laugh the Irish chap Dave Fanning I think just wants to watch Foos but is having to present. This is awful. Do they not learn?

Say what you like about the BBC but it is streaks ahead of this dross.

Who is the irish presenter chap?

[Vogue]

This is terrible- I'm hanging on just in case they decide to show a bit of Pulp or Foos.

"Pulp just finished, hopefully we can show you some highlights of Tom Jones later". They opened with this statement, or near enough. Seriously.

[rubenz]

Not sure but he's rocking the double denim look lol

Meanwhile Mike and the Mechanics but without Mike WTF

Not seen Roachford in 20 years though.

This Wild Beasts acoustic set is pretty awesome though

[Grateful Ghoul]

Why is it TV coverage of Music coverage always ends up showing crappy exclusive backstage sessions than covering the festival itself.

We don't care about your studio performances, shows us the bloody festival.

Rant Over lol

[rubenz]

Looks nice and sunny there, the first three rows of people seem to be getting excited about Iggy Pop the rest look a bit nonplussed.

[rubenz]

Zoe Ball is nice as well, I would like to go for a soiree round at her and norms house..

[ian_sw]

That guitar is fantastic !!! Never seen Seasick live before, missed him at V but he is now right up there on the must see list. Not a fan of the backstage sets they have had on thus far but this one is brilliant !!

[rubenz]

Surely in 2011 people must have had had enough enough of Tom Jones singing f**king Delilah!

[Stu H]

this coverage is crap.

We'll get less than 20 mins of the main Saturday headliners.

[Funkyfairy!]

Vaccines sounded OK and I'm a fan of Hurts so was pleased to see them. Sicksick was class - most of the rest utter garbage

Not long left for Pulp or Foos

[ian_sw]

No Pulp !!! Very poor coverage been sat here for 1hr 45min waiting and nothing from one of the festivals major bands very disappointing !!

[rubenz]

Should have the foo fighters at glasto!

[DJL]

Pulp reform after nine years, play the uk for the first time since (I think?) and they barely get a mention. How much of that 2 hour show was spent with presenters doing links back and forth and telling us what we're going to have later? Terrible just terrible. Thank god for seasick Steve and what we had of the foos...

[ian_sw]

Yeah the Foo's would of been quality but I have a sneaky feeling Lord Grohl may make an appearece as a special guest drummer for the QOTSA ! Now that would be one hell of a way to sign of the festival !!
