Plainly the Eavii have seen the error of their ways and booked a solo 'legend', eh @stuartbert two hats?

The slot is debased now, too late.

This episode of Radio 4's Soul Music on Mr Blue Sky is quite a good listen

Definitely taking this Sun story as an early indication that they're trying to line up The Right Honourable RightBaz for 2017.

See you down the front for Islands In the Stream III

[dentalplan]

He'll have to get in line behind Sister Sledge!

File them alongside Leo Sayer.  Maybe alongside Lulu in the Avalon.

#RightBazza for legends slot 2017. Diana Ross for legends slot 2019

[CaledonianGonzo]

On some days, the prospect of RightBazza on the Pyramid Stage is the only reason to get up in the morning:

I'm still throwing my lot in with #Thunderthumb, the King of the Fair Isle for Legend 2017.

Are you sure that is definitely his thumb?

Yes. And it is not in the foreground. Thunderthumb's thumb is bigger than his head.

Apparently it runs in his family. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Though his willie is also the shape of a thumb.

[Woffy]

As Adele sang of her telationship with Thunderthumb:

"I can't keep up with your turning tables
Under your thumb I can't breathe
Next time I'll be braver
I'll be my own savior
When the Thunderthumb calls for me
Next time I'll be braver"

[CaledonianGonzo]

Thunder my thumb
The thumb who once had me down
Thunder my thumb
The thumb who once pushed me around

Went to see Jeff Lynne and ELO last night. I do know a lot of their tunes even though they were a bit before my time, but had no idea what the gig would be like - I've seen Jeff Lynne in TV interviews recently and always thought he looked a bit shakey. However, last nights gig was amazing in every way! I really do think this will prove to be a great booking. It's just a shame that it is in the middle of the day as the visuals and back drop only added to the gig. 

If you don't know them or only know Mr Blue Sky then I'd definitely recommend getting to know them between now and June. They're such an underrated band and a perfect choice for the legend slot in every way.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Also saw Jeff Lynne from off of Jeff Lynne's ELO last night.

On that evidence they'll make more than a decent fist of it, and just when you think The Jeffster is out of jams he pulls another one from out of his back pocket. Got a stack of smashers.

And the band were sounding great.

But, as an unassuming blokey bloke happy to let the music do the talking he lacks the charisma and personality of the other performers in the slot over the last few years.  The tone will be more similar to Paul Simon's set, bar the fact that he'll definitely give the crowd the tunes they'll want.  But it might be a bit "no nonsense" if you gravitate towards the more OTT performers.

I also dunno if Mr Blue Sky is *quite* the singalong that some people are expecting it to be, particular given the way it finishes up.  Don't Bring Me Down and Livin' Thing might land a bit better.

Long shot but would anybody like to buy my spare ticket for tomorrow night in Newcastle for £30?

I'd love to be able to offer for free like some do on here but alas I am a poor as fuck student and face value is £88.75 inc. fees.

If anyone does want it, just to warn you I've asked a couple of people I know if they're interested, too, so it would depend on whose response I see first. I will (as always) be checking here every minute anyway, though.

It's in block 215, btw.

[The Placid Casual]

I'll give you £50 for it.

[Gucci Piggy]

Nah

[gerardfenton18]

I have to hold my hands up when these guys where announced I was floating between the WHO DA FUK? and WHY DA FUCK? camps.

But I've been listening to them today while clearing the garage and they're really starting to grow on me

[CaledonianGonzo]

Got the Greatest Hits on the turntable at the minute.

They were never my band, but after long old while even the stuff you kicked out against still becomes the soundtrack of your younger years.

Gonna be me and my wee bro at this with not a tap to be seen.

When I'm 50 I'll be front and centre at Catfish's Legend Slot set in Longleatbury, yelling at the kids about how we used to have proper music in our day before the ozone layer got melted, not this protospacejivecore shite they'll be listening to.

[CaledonianGonzo]

If fortune favours us all then I'll see you down the front at Catfish's Legend Slot at Glastonbury 2045, Amy Lawn.

Clothes optional.
