It was widely reported at the time. It may well have stemmed from a joke, but I very much doubt someone would read an interview with Tom Meighan and then start claiming everything he said was fact. 

Not everyone, just a few people on this thread. That is exactly what has happened.

The Electro-Swing Illuminati must have their paws on some incriminating photos of the Eavii.  What else could explain the pervasive presence of this otherwise rejected and ridiculed genre?

I try and be open and understanding about most music, but Electro-Swing is truly the devils own music.

[CaledonianGonzo]

At a festival it can be throwaway fun, but by the time you've seen the third act of the weekend done up like the Andrews Sisters doing a version of Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy (with a donk on it) you need a bit of a break.

Yep, it truly is. Can't stand the music more than 10 minutes and the audience is incredibly annoying. There are not many things that drive me more insane than Electro-Swing.

My friend's electro swing band aptly named "The Swingers"

Playing the Theatre & Circus field all 3 days.

I hope they're better musicians than they are spellers... (Isle of Whight??)

Electro swing is horrible, isn't it?  The number of times I've been subjected to some godawful electro swing version of "I wanna be like you" with prats jumping around on stage....

Luckily at the Hell stage last year on Fri night, I was so far out of it that I didn't realise I was being subjected to Dutty Moonshine.  There's an hour gap in my night between Spor and New York Brass Band, probably due to my memory rejecting all knowledge of it like rejecting an organ.  Before I knew it, I was singing along to You Can Call Me Al with dawn breaking.

Anyway, gone a bit off track here.  More jungle, less electro swing.

[CaledonianGonzo]

The pinnacle of electro swing.

 

Sadly, it will never again attain such commercial or critical success.

[stuartbert two hats]

I quite like electro swing.  In small quantities, obviously.

Cheers! 

Don't know all that much about SHITV, and don't know how much of that I'm allowed to say, sorry!

That's the one I'm looking forward to most - can't think of a better naughty corner slot than 1:15 Saturday night.

Hopefully this more or less confirms Davos to be playing. Absolutely superb at the Glade last years. 90's dance played on piano/keyboards

Shame there weren't more people there

Ha, that's the least subtle one yet. Putting the full dates, "Jun 22 - 26" and then "tbc". Hmmm, I wonder which of the many events that last from June 22 to June 26 he could be playing?
