Will need to listen to their other stuff. Not sure if I should admit this, but I genuinely thought JCB, despite being a bit of a novelty song, was a really good song.

It can still make me cry that song. Reminds me of an uncle.

He came to our flat for an afterparty couple of years ago...first he fixed our Technics in no time, played a bit, than chilled on our sofa while having many enlightening conversations with all the Freqs in the house....a legend, that's what he is!!!

Was at a party in the holylands one night after he had played shine. He was pouring everyone shots from a massive bottle of vodka. Fuck, that was 13 years ago!

Slaves. Already on the line up poster I think but came through work tonight and confirmed Saturday on The John Peel. Didn't give a time unfortunately. One of the most exciting new bands I have seen/heard for a long time.

Edit: Ooh. Not on the line up poster that I can see. Have I actually got a scoop here?

So considering Shangri-La's recent record then it's definitely a scoop. ;)

I wouldn't mind going to see them but I don't think I'm quite on board with all the hype going their way yet. Could do with hearing their upcoming album beforehand.

You get a lot of acts playing Glastonbury going through your place of work. :P

Excuse me, Brave Sir Robin - just wading through the excellent spotify listing which I think is yours - completely addictive by the way - and I noticed Beak> is on there. Despite knowing nothing about them/him/her I've wanted to see them for ages. Noticed they are not on efestivals listing, though. Is it an error (hope not), are they playing under another name, or some other explanation? Cheers

Greetings, talking tortoise! Beak> tweeted "Any Beak> fans going to Glastonbury?" a few weeks back (and to one reply of "no I'm 42" they responded "your the perfect age then"), and then Geoff Barrow had an exchange of tweets with Sleaford Mods which suggested he was playing in some capacity. I'd wager they'll be there.

Probably see on average about one band every night shift, and I do one of those a week. Lots during European festival season.

They all get the same questions:

Who are ya?

Are you playing Glastonbury?

Do you know which slot?

The less pretentious ones often answer :) Drivers and roadies are good to ask as well. Some of them love a chat.

I missed Debbie Harry coming through last year because I was at the festival ready to see Blondie. A bit gutted about that one still, but then I did get to meet Keith Richards, shake his hand and have a little chat about guitar playing about seven years ago. I don't think I'm ever gonna top that particular meet & greet :)

A certain type of manager may consider my actions slightly unprofessional ('specially the posting on here bit), so I have to watch it.

    • A question has crossed my (questionable) mind;   Has the size of the Green Fields remained the same as other areas have expanded / been added on to, since say, 2014 (the last time that I attended)? Are they 'lost' within, or well attended?    That's actually two questions. The second one just slipped in at the end by taking advantage of my lack of means to stop it.    
    • I'd say the same about Kylie.    Annie would be awesome, Duran not so much, and on the issue of them wanting a beanie slot, that probably rules out a fair few others who I think would fit the bill very well... and are legitimately more entitled to a headline, and/or too expensive.   Was just about to suggest Chaka Khan, but see @Gnomicide has beat me to it!    What about someone like Bryan Ferry?
    • It's certainly gone more that way, but then they went completely in the opposite direction and had Cat Stevens.
