Never thought I'd see discussion about Boldmere here, gotta say Mother India is pretty great. 

Don't know how the thread got on to this but hey-ho.

It's what happens when we haven't had any new speculation for a while.

The pub opposite Asda is (or was) called The Goose. Fuck me, the clientele in there were / are phenomenally off the scale. I became my own boss within a billion pound charity company at one point in my life. Anyway, to cut a long story short I allowed myself to get enrolled on an IT course just up the road from the Goose. At first I granted myself two hours there on a Wednesday, but when I realised that nobody was taking note, I increased it to a day release program. Then what happened was that I went to the IT centre for an hour between 10am and 11am. Then when that was done I went over the road to the Goose, and stayed drinking in there for about 6 to 7 hours. So, effectively I was being paid to drink in the boozer. Now that's got to be a result in anybody's books. The things I saw go down in there would give you premature grey hairs. However, all those observations were, to my mind, a part of the rich tapestry of life.

Sounds like a great place for an efestivals "social" outside of the Glastonbury meet-up

Seconded for MI. What irks me about Sutton is that The Station has so much potential to even be a north side H&H, I was close to putting on some decent gigs (for Sutton fkn Coldfield) there about three ish years ago, and starting a monthly showcase, but the mgmt pulled out close to the time.

Pale Waves being one!

but if it’s not jazz or folk, I guess the region doesn’t want to know sadly

I pretty much grew up in The Station. Love that pub, still drink in there whenever I'm back in Brum.

Same! Bit surreal seeing this in the Glastonbury 2019 headliners thread. Can't believe there are so many from Brum/Sutton.

There’s a rumour about that AC/DC are going back on tour in Europe next summer. Sadly the basis of this rumour is a reported show in Cologne in Glastonbury Saturday, which would rule them out really. Hopefully, if true, it is a two-summer tour again like the last one.

I believe AC/DC are one of those bands never expected to play Glastonbury cos they demand a fair (hefty!)  price?

Probably. Brian has seemed open to playing in past interviews though. We need Lars to get on his case.

and their own stage and nobody else playing at the same time as them, but apart from that I think we're good.

[CaledonianGonzo]

They just played on the regular festival stage when they played Coachella.

Dunno how but this actually transpired to be a Muse show. At least good news that Muse probably won’t turn up at Glastonbury next year.
