The Legends spot

[CaledonianGonzo]

Nice one.  The proximity of the slap-headed, gorilla-featuring, Tory-voting, Artful Dodger-playing sticksman had been giving me a wee bit of cocern.

[CaledonianGonzo]

He's probably at Pyramid sub level, but if he's not in the Legend Slot I'd be surprised if he's there at all.

I'm not a fan, but I'd probably still give him a crack of the whip, if only for the probability that it'd be the only time that such a thing would even be an option.  I'm not sure if I'd approach it completely free of cynicism, mind.

Could he even be forced onto the west Holts bookers like @The Nal's hero, Mr ferry, was the other year. 

The "style-over-substance-miserable-talentless-c**t" slot.

Thats the big question. Cynicism. Is someone who charges £191 for a ticket open to an hour of day light, no light show ironic fun? 

People in the crowd dressed up as gorillas swinging drumsticks around live on the Beeb etc.

Diana Ross as a SR makes today a good day. Let's hope legends slot is announced fairly earlyish this year too so I can fap over this. 

[JoBalls]

Diana is now an SR. 

@eFestivals Why the upgrade from an R? 

[LeeGalvin]

Yeah, I was wondering why the upgrade? 

(but very happy with it)

[Quark]

He was dropping a not very subtle hint about DR on Thursday, guessing something following on from that?

[MichaelsBeard]

I would guess there's been no further information and it's just an oversight that she wasn't always a SR after the Barry Gibb quote.

I'm with Quark, Neil seemed to have more info than #notactuallyrightbazza

[Rumblestripe]

Watching the One Show just now, I had a horrible premonition of The Osmonds for the Legend Slot...

So I was doubly pleased to see DR go SR.

I'm putting the final touches to my exploding atomic bomb costume.

Wearing that will be a blast.

Best costume for a Diana Ross gig:

Shouting the names of random old people isn't going to prevent this happening on the Sunday afternoon:

soz for the slow reply. Am just catching up on some stuff.

From info, that I'm pretty sure is spot on but doesn't quite have certainty.

Good booking that.

Yep great news if it comes off. 

[JMDS]

Oh yes  The chuck!

[CaledonianGonzo]

Yeah - she's in the top 3 or 4 eligible contenders for the slot, so a good booking it is.

There are still a few hurdles for her to clear before it'll be a classic set, though - not least whipping her setlist into shape.

ha a lot of confidence.  I've already ordered my chuck berry tshirt and special edition blow up guitar.  It has to happen!!!

[CaledonianGonzo]

After his last big hit I thought the usual costume for Chuck Berry fans was to dress up as bells.

[CaledonianGonzo]

All the cool kids dress up as the ghost of Johnnie Johnson and haunt the stage.

Not that Chuck's on there anyway, after having decided at the last minute to ask for an extra 30 grand in used notes before he'll consider playing.
