Bramble FM

[Zardoz67]

Anyone like me whose highlight of Glastonbury always seems to be a couple of hours shared with Terry, Les and Maureen and the Bramble FM caravan? Can't wait to see them. Funnier than anything in the comedy tent

For the first time I really want to catch this lot this year, it does look good. Is it anything along the line of Alan Partridge, or John Shuttleworth, or different again?

Never heard of this. Where is it and is it a real radio show?

It's a fake 'local radio' station in a caravan, in the Circus field I think. They do their show Fri/Sat/Sun afternoons. Looks to be very entertaining

Partridge/Shuttleworth is a good touchstone :-) Very much NOT a real radio show but a very clever and very funny pastiche of a local radio roadshow complete with shit music, competitions, dancing, special guests, etc. They are on for three hours Friday/Saturday/Sunday in the afternoon, different every day. A lot improvised. I usually start thinking I'll watch for 5 minutes and end up staying 3 hours

Tis very good. I'm sure I've posted this a few times but last year they were doing Beards for Bono, shaving people's beard and putting the cuttings in a big tube. They shaved one bloke and left him with a Hitler moustache.

I've often wondered how he got on for the rest of the festival.
