Where's Rolf?

Oh I agree, but their support for rolf was nothing to do with that, it was based purely on an unwillingness to believe one of their childhood idols could possibly have been sat there with an erection while drawing pictures of those cartoons for kids

I dont recall any of them leaping to the defence of max clifford for example

Nope. Unless I have seen evidence I try and take innocent until proven guilty as a principle, even for people we already knew who were bastards like Jim Davidson and Max Clifford. I just wouldn't have entered a discussion about Max Clifford in the first place as he isn't playing Glastonbury...

What exactly is your point here? No, I did not want to believe that Rolf was a peado, but regardless of this outcome, I will still have the exact same reaction as before the next time somebody I like gets accused of being a peado. Would you rather we all just turned on people every time they have accusations leveled against them?

Nobody's defended Max Clifford because we have no reason to, he's a nob, but we're not saying he is a peado, innocent until proven guilty applied to him, too. The difference is that nobody cares enough about Max to point it out.

I remember in 2010 he had a 'glamourous' assistant who had to strut across stage shaking her arse everytime Rolf needed an instrument brought to him. He spent to whole time stating at her & leering. Obviously she was an adult, but it struck me at the time as a bit weird. Showed he was still a very sexual man.

I'm sad, but can't say I'm shocked

Of all of the cases this is the one I really want to fall apart. Still a bit shocked.

Considering the first arrest happened long ago there's been plenty of time for people to come forwards, so at least we can hope for no new horrors unlike the seemingly unending line of Saville victims. I just couldn't process that horror involving rolf

    • Sorry matey.  Always a nightmare when you have a plan and something scuppers it.   Happy myself, fills a nice little gap for me. Lucky so far really.     I’d have preferred an alternative too to break up the 21 pilot set but shan’t complain 
    • Happy with the name, unhappy with what it did to the lineup. Now I have to choose between Florence Road and Beirut 😞 and still no alternative to 21p.
    • Odd and rare for RW indeed! I even remember reading in the past that one of the reasons for certain bands not appearing there, were similar demands being rejected. It’s weird that they play after Gorillaz and even more weird that there won’t be an alternative. All they had to do was push Pixies to later. 
    • Klymaxx (The classic lineup) are rumoured to be back together and planning shows.    100k at this. Pyramid field shut down from the bandstand   
    • Self Esteem on TfG for the new BA venue in London next week   Also McFly at the Piece Hall, and several for Llangollen summer sessions.   I think is starting to show the new unused inventory platform starting to kick in. Could be be seeing a lot more last minute stuff from now on.
