Need to get my finger out. 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.

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Odessa Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
