Florence + the Machine

[eFestivals]

I was thinking this was a massive clue to the family member on TV...but wiki doesn't list any graduates from Brixton

...Unless they moved...Leona Lewis! .

*going stop stalking Neil now*

having just checked, according to google you can't get a link to this person when including "brixton" as part of your search.

So you'll have to widen to your stalking to include all of the UK.

I have never knowingly heard Florence and the Machine. I would like it to stay that way

And she went to that fecking Brit school so she had a helping hand from that.

[FunkyDenz]

I have three family members ..., one of which probably appears in your front room on a regular basis.

[Mr Splodge]

Please no

[abdoujaparov]

What a ridiculous thing to say.

How do you know you don't like something unless you've listened to it?

[FloorFiller]

You are Florence's mum and I claim my 5 pounds.

[mandolin]

i love the fact that person was clearly browsing the forums, saw people slagging off Florence, thought 'right i'm not having this' and signed up to post that

[Morse Code]

It's not remotely ridiculous - don't be such a knob.

I don't want to listen to it. I'm not even slightly interested or curious. I have no interest in the type of music they produce. I don't need to sandpaper my cock to know that it migh make it sore...

[MEGABOWL]

No she didn't, she went to an ordinary school then went to an ordinary college in Camberwell before dropping out to be in a band called Ashok. As for saying she had everything given to her, that's a load of rubbish. She was appearing in magazines in 2006 and wasn't even properly famous till 2009. The most famous person in her family with connections is the head of a department in a university, so maybe you should research before slagging off one of the only true musicians of this generation who bothers to write their own music with actual passion. And as for eFestivals, it's pretty unprofessional and embarrassing to bash an artist who is well loved at the actual festivals, shame the pretentious forums don't see her art for what it is!

[Bisque]

To be fair to her, she does write her own stuff

also, she is shit

[keeno]

Well I like her. Fingers crossed for 2013, if not i'll make the pilgrimage again in 2014 and continue until I see her at Glasto. Because I don't think she's going anywhere fast, suck shit haters.

[keeno]

Or ..... and this is just a thought .... you could go and see her elsewhere.

Unless you think that she's not going anywhere fast because she's stuck in Glasto mud. If that's so, I have shovels. I will help her out.

Edit: the video just came through. You may have been joking. Ooops!

haha seen her 5 times already elsewhere. But she seems to go the extra mile at Glasto (as do most artists by the looks of it.)

[eFestivals]

If you mean by destroying 'The Chain' while her fans are saying stuff like "oooo, this must be a new one" and "why is she playing the grand prix theme", then yes.

(and yes, those things really happened - I heard both in the less than 5 minutes I was walking past the stage while she played).

[eFestivals]

I don't mean to be picky but if you heard those things while just 'walking past' either her 'fans' were much further away from the stage than you'd expect them to be or, they weren't her fans at all and were musical dullards catching a bit of a set they also happened to be 'walking past' or............... as now seems much more likely on the premise of 'the gentleman doth protest too much', YOU sir are her biggest fan and were in fact at the barrier of the Other Stage for her entire set, loving every second of it and your protestations are just an attempt to reduce the size of the crowd for next time you see her so you have more room?!

There rests the case for the defence!!

I walked from somewhere near the pyramid thru the other stage field to my tent in Dairy Ground then back down to the railway track and along it to Avalon (or somewhere) ... which meant walking thru her fans in the other stage field, and then walking thru the crowds who had stopped to watch on the old railway track. It was impossible to not be amongst them.

I was wanting ear-plugs.

[russycarps]

The Other Stage is a minefield.

Over the years I've quite innocently been cutting through the field to get some place or other, only to be subjected to, among others, Duffy, Keane, La Roux and perhaps most shockingly of all, Newton Faulkner.

And of course all these acts attract vast crowds of chair-sitting, blanket-laying, foot-tapping, bet-wetting whoppers, so getthing through the crowd takes an absolute age.

Terrible, terrible times.
