Well I could anyway ahah. You could well be right. I'll give it another listen. First is just wall-to-wall bangers though, for me. Oh and I was at uni when it came out... Had a quick look at some recent setlists and see they're opening with Turn the Page so now I'm all the way in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug85 Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 38 minutes ago, Hugh Jass said: I made a conscious decision, which with the benefit of hindsight I cannot fathom, not to bother with Heaton, thought it would be shit and full of sad cases in bucket hats lobbing piss around, but by all accounts it was genuinely brilliant. Went to Finsbury the year later and really enjoyed them, never bothered afterwards, really should have seen them at their first reunion shows. That Shane Meadows film about them only really showed a glimpse of what it was like at Heaton too, fantastic gig and any of theirs I went to afterwards paled in comparison. Still enjoyable mind and Ian's vocals got better each time too. Squire was fantastic every single time though they just couldn't ever beat Heaton which I think they realised eventually.

Ayrshire Chris Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 The longer we go without any confirmations the more I think something big might come out of the blue. I do reckon we are grasping at the thinnest of slippery straws hoping for a Gaga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glastocat Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 4 hours ago, sadimmock said: Yup. This is why I’m so surprised that the comeback is being mooted as such a big deal. I am trying to remember what year Mr.Skinner last did Glastonbury (2013?) but it was to a half empty JP Tent. Neither band nor audience really wanted to be there.... 2011. I'm not a massive fan but my mates were so I went along. Wish I hadn't as Mike Skinner was totally off his face and it was a terrible set. He was stood on a box or something shouting to the crowd "I can see you, can you see me" for about five minutes.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now there's a band that I'd love to see headline the Pyramid. Can't actually remember why I picked this originally so I'll jut say 'yes' to look cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eFestivals Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) just took a call (about something else) from the main source who told me the cure. Anyway, talk gets back to the cure, and one of the extra things he said was "I'm 99% sure I was told they are on saturday".
