You could add Sweet Baboo to that, i reckon, he seems to play in Gruff Rhys' band/on his records a fair bit.

Stephen Black is Sweet Baboo.

[Mardy]

Exactly! Thank you. Appreciate it. The sooner we can stop mentioning my stephen black/sweet baboo faux pas and consign it to history, the better.

Yeah, who would make the Stephen Black/Sweet Baboo clunker in an open forum and not want it to disappear down the timeline pronto.

Thank God this is such an active topic.

Lol, trying to mug Mardy off and I accidentally posted a screengrab of my work

 

This thread is cursed

[Mardy]

Worst of all, i just checked, and last time he played, i got him to sign one of his records for me. Mind you, looking at that, i reckon the fault is his

 

 

[scrippit]

He's managed to sign both his names in one signature!

[robith]

Hmmmm, interesting

2/3 are at the festival...

Pheobe Bridgers, the odd one out, is playing her final (listed) date in the UK tonight in London, with her next gig back in the US in about a month. After that she's doing some dates with Baker and Dacus, so an EotR set could be a good warmup for them

[xxialac]

where's the best online location to hear decent rumours about who's playing the late night shows on the day they happen? Twitter? Here?

[SweepingTheNation]

Apart from the year the production schedule with all the piano shows listed got leaked I don't think there's ever been reliable rumours, the late night Tipi shows are generally secret until they start setting up.

Thanks. Don't know how they keep it a secret!

[Sean1234321]

I know she won't play in the tipi, but I'd love a Tiny Desk-esque St Vincent showing somewhere over the weekend.. 

Probably too much to ask for, although EOTR is her last gig for a week (she may just want some time off though!). 

[bobbyperu]

Jonathan Wilson did a late night Tipi set last time he played (the Bella Union year).

I wouldn’t be surprised if Ezra did a late night Sunday one.

hoping for The Orielles or Japanese Breakfast as I’ll be missing their main sets.

Adrienne Lenker Of Big Thief has some solo stuff on the go so she might do a Piano stage set at some point.

 

[Mash011]

Gonna be praying for good signal to keep on top of all of these. Not gonna happen, is it? Anyone remember how much they charge for the wi-fi?

[Mash011]

Just chucking this out there, would there be any interest in a whatsapp group or something of the sort to share word of secret sets? Very keen to keep on top of them this year.

yeh sounds good. Would love to catch more secret sets around the site this year, not just the tipi ones.

i'd join that - although data coverage / wifi is limited on site!!

 

the late night secret sets are hard to miss - as in, you get there at a set time and a band comes onstage. no problemo. but i always miss the ones at the piano stage etc. i think jens lekman did one there last year??? and various other special uns!!

[Mash011]

Ite well pm me numbers if you want in and I'll set a group up. Signal will be spotty yeah but I figure you've got a better chance of getting a WhatsApp message through than seeing a tweet alert or whatever.
