personally i'm listing to a lot of Courtney Barnett and Kate Tempest, might not be your cup to tea but i'd be happy with more people in the world listening to either of them :)

I was about to say Kate Tempest so I will second that. I am Kloot are pretty good too. Swim Deep have SR next to them but I think there is a reasonably big chance that they will play and I really like them so I would defo recommend giving them a listen. Also, fairly certain Chromeo will play as they had to pull out last minute last year and said they were gutted and hoped to play this year instead... give them a listen if you don't know them because they are funkyyyyy!

I'm open to anything really. Already got Courtney on my Spotify list, and from what I've heard so far she's spot on. Will give Kate a listen on the way home in the car. Thank you!

Have you tried Brave Sir Robin's Spotify list?

It basically has 3-5 songs off every rumoured band in there, and is generally fantastic

I do love a bit of Chromeo, so I've already been on that like a dog on hot chips!

Speaking of hot chips, I can't wait to see Hot Chip again. Stalked them for years now.

Will definitely pop the others in my playlist too

Chances of getting our line up in the next couple of weeks is slim to none, so can anyone recommend any of the TBCs on the list that are a must to listen to in advance?

Father John Misty! May be a little weird but if you get into it, bloody hell, it's good.

Glasto 98

One lingering memory is going to bed with my legs utterly caked in mud. I had been wearing shorts and there was just no way to get clean. I woke at about 5a.m. in agony. The mud had dried and contracted to the point where it was pulling on every single one of my leg hairs. Trying to pull the mud off only resulted in further epilation. So, I had to get dressed and stumble out in the dawn light (the quietest I've ever seen the place) and trudge over to one of the taps for an early morning "leg shower". Then wet-legged and back to bed for another 5 hours or so.

Still, Tony Bennett was brilliant.

Not supported on my work PC, but will have a deeks when I get home. I've been stuck in a rut listening to the same stuff recently.

Also, I will trust anything with a Monty Python reference. Everytime I see Brave Sir Robin, I sing it in my head.

Thank you!

I'd always recommend The Maccabees to anybody. I know most people will probably have heard them in some passing form but I really would advise giving their third album 'Given To The Wild' a proper listen. Such a great album.

Being such a huge fan of theirs I always find it hard to gauge how popular they are and how widespread their listeners really are.

Don't know if they're 'lesser known' as such but The Maccabees are great :)

Yeah, I sort of forgot about the Maccabees for a long while (couldn't tell you why) but then got drunk at a mates a few months back and they popped up on shuffle and the love was rekindled!

Sharon Van Etten and The Maccabees have already been mentioned but both are great. I really like Alvvays album as well.

    • Based on previous times that rules quite a lot out of early summer festivals into the August runs.
    • No dramas man, I just like to follow others journeys as well. Get the inspiration, give out inspiration and the outdoors is the clear the head place to do it. I'm heading out for a easy trail run today I think, 10k- 10 mile we'll see how we go. I've got a half marathon in October I'm well unprepared for hahs
    • The Cheap Thrills at Mountford Hall, Liverpool.    They've been around for a while and have built up a large local following. Last night was their biggest yet, at a sold out 2,200 capacity venue.    It was a big old joyous, indie singalong from start to finish, the band clearly having the time of their lives. The debut album is out next month and they seem to be going down well on the festival circuit, maybe their time has finally come.   2 supports, I unfortunately missed Credits but the few songs they have on Spotify sound good, Americana vibes. The other was M60, reportedly Gary Neville's favourite band. If that's true, he's as clueless about music as he is football. To be fair, their sound was poor, maybe with a clearer sound they'd have been better but it was pretty dull.  
    • I can see them all merging along with the Tory’s . Restore curently couldn’t muster enough candidates to be a viable option . I lasted 4 mins and couldn’t watch any more . Lowe is just dull along with racist
