He was 'strong rumour' anyway, but someone posted that they'd spoken with him in the last few days.

Twas me ? They say never meet your hero's but he was actually fucking fab even if he did make me look like a short arsed dwarf ?

? love a bit of frank. Seen him so many times since first seeing him in the queens head in 2010

Never got round to seeing him. If he's there and I make it I apologize in advance, 'cos if he plays Next Storm or Getting Better I will, in no uncertain terms, be in absolute blubbering bits

Frank gigs are glorious. I've seen him do festivals, arenas, academies, clubs, a library, a conference room, even a bloody big greenhouse; with a band, as a duo and solo. Always been excellent.

Positive Songs came out at the same time I got made redundant and was going through some challenges. Those two songs in particular were a big part of me pulling myself back together, only time I've ever emailed an artist to say say thank you.

He only bloody replied as well :)

I Am Disappeared for me. I've seen him a few times and always lose my shit every single time. I've learned by now never ever wear make up to a Frank gig

Ditto... he managed to make Leeds arena feel intimate. Can't decide whether I love hearing him with the band better or just Frank and his guitar. One thing is certain is I've never ever seen him play a shit show ❤ If I hadn't got Glastonbury tickets I was very very tempted by Lost Evenings in Boston this year

He is awesome at replying to emails. He emailed me some handwritten lyrics to turn in to a tattoo ❤ When Be More Kind came out my son, who is a teacher, taught his year 4 class it. He also taught them the moves to Little Changes to perform at their assembly. Frank sent him a photo of himself holding a sign saying 'dance well year 4'  He is so ridiculously accessible and good to his fans... although he fucking hates the term 'fan'

He's a nice guy, too. He once led a chorus of happy birthday to me in a tent at Latitude for his book launch

Back in my student radio days, I interviewed a variety of artists. Everyone was pleasant enough, but there was a vibe at times that as it was student radio, they weren't all that bothered for the five minutes I had them, which is understandable considering we were a tiny station.

Not Frank though, he was an absolute joy to interview and answered the questions with such depth. He even recorded a birthday message for my old man! Definitely one of the nicest people I've ever met and would be great to see him on the farm.

Was at the Idles gig last night and in a strange turn of events it appears the drummer from Boy Azooga was actually working behind the bar! Just checked photos online and I'm sure it was him. Anyway I obviously asked Dafydd if they were playing Glastonbury (and for a pint of Thatcher's) and he gave me a big thumbs up. Woohoo!

Well that’s the best self-confirmation I’ve read on here for a while, in more ways than one.

Good lad!  Seeing an opportunity and grabbing it :)

    • Maybe hopeful but get Knocked Loose on the Sunday opposite the legend. Similar to the slot Turnstile had in 2022. Would be absolutely phenomenal.
    • One of my personal favourite bands at the minute - MUNA. Was very surprised not to see them booked in 2023 with their last album but hopefully they'll be around next year. Very fun new album from these guys and, as aforementioned, another standout for me at Big Weekend.
    • Absolutely second this. Were great at Big Weekend and already have a great catalogue of songs forming so far. Would love to see them on the farm!
    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today.
