Ed Sheeran, Kasabian and Mumford and Sons have headlined Glastonbury.

Edit: Fuck sake I forgot Stereophonics are Welsh.

Mumford were the most disappointing one out of them for me, Ed was great but should have been a sub as him carrying on his own just didn't go....Not even Beyonce tried that. Kasabian I thought were ace but some knobs in the crowd.

Looked a decent enough setlist, pretty much all the hits but still baffled why they continue to play anything off Graffiti on the Train bar Indian Summer.

Yet somehow Mr Sodding Writer still makes the sets!

In terms of size a headliner obviously but it didn't quite deliver....and I'm a fan!....much more so than I was of Kasabian.

Yeah don't know what point he's trying to make with that anymore. Play Since I Told You It's Over instead, eez-eh.

They dont know him, but still they try to stone him.

I don't think anyone in the media writes about them now anyway. At best it should be changed to Mr Blogger, or better yet Mr efests Commenter.

I really like that album.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Did they do anything off of - it says here - Keep Calm and Carry On?

Anyways.... Kelly and the lads were quite good.

Just realised I've got nothing lined up until October. Need to get my finger out.

Soccer Mommy at The Shipping Forecast?

Is all that stuff gammon now? I woulda thought gammon music choices would be those old lads whose tickets start at £100 and the dining experiences sell out in seconds.

Yeah, those acts are bacon.

Bodega are playing a Sunday afternoon at Birkenhead Library.

Who is the ultimate gammon band? Genesis/Phil Collins? U2? I'm not 100% on the criteria but for some reason they spring to mind.

Status Quo.

[CaledonianGonzo]

In terms of being proudly reactionary and anglocentric it has to be:

It would be Paul Weller, but he's at least a bit more cosmopolitan in outlook.

Pains me to say it but Dire Straits.

Weller's an odd one imo, because his status as king of the dad-rock gammons is undisputed, but also based on a complete misunderstanding of what made The Jam such a brilliant and fascinating band.

He seems a bit more thoughtful and openminded than most of his fans.  Which explains why most of them sacked him off the minute he started The Style Council.

Thought we'd established Blotzer as King Gammon?

[the wonderwhy]

Gammon King is obviously Eric Clapton. 

Also there’s a Phoebe Bridgers tour on Dice so guess that’s getting announced this afternoon

Hammy Jack wasn't old, but he was a ham
He lived in the sand on the Isle of Gammon

We could do a poll.

Clapton is a good shout because of his tedious, ‘tasteful’ forays into reggae
