How many times can I ask before they lock me up?

Been a fan for ages and even went to the party that launched their first album, my wife's uncle is also mates with him. I could get him to find out the stage? I am so hoping for a pyramid opener. Lost count of number of times I have seen him since the comeback but its probably around 15.

Do you think he enjoyed meeting me?

is he the one on the right ? he looks very happy

I wonder if they will get Bob Mortimer on with them?

I spent an evening drinking with Paul Heaton once (around 15 years ago). The man is a fish.

I saw them in the Acoustic tent a few years back and on the Other Stage the next year, they do a good set. Happy to see them again.

I first saw the BS on the 0898 Tour!

[scaryclaireyfairy]

They got me in my feels in '16. One of my favourite sets that year.

Not anymore, The Wombats have been added to the lineup now so looks like they'll be subbing.

I bloody hope so!! Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott followed by Flaming Lips would be incredible. Eek, excitement overload ?

[dotdash79]

would be a great fit

They self confirmed on Twitter but further proof

[Gilgamesh69]

Not being rude but who are these people? I'm still discovering a lot of music and there's much that has passed be my, this being one of them.

Is there a good place to start with Heaton & Abbot? Are they one of those bands where I'll probably recognise a lot of their songs without realising it's them?

Haha are you joking? It is effectively The Beautiful Sourh without the backing band. Biggest pop band of 80s/90s. 3 albums just by them and all amazing. For their new stuff try DIY, I Gottta Praise, Heatongrad, Moulding Of A Fool, Man Is The Biggest Bitch Of All. Most of set is Beaut South and Housemartjns though. FLAG day, happy hour, caravan of love, people who grinned, me and farmer, song for whoever's, good as gold, you keep it all in, Rotterdam, perfect 10.....

You'll probably recognise a load of the songs when you hear them.  One of those bands that have been around on radio for so long that at least a few of them will have entered your brain by osmosis without you even realising it

Housemartins - Caravan of Love, Happy Hour

Beautiful South - Song for Whoever, You Keep It All In, A Little Time, Don't Marry Her, Rotterdam, Perfect 10, Old Red Eyes Is Back

I'll be amazed if at least one of those doesn't make you go "Oh THOSE guys!"

Also fun fact - the bass player for the Housemartins way back when was one Norman "Fatboy Slim" Cook.

Caravan of Love is the best Christmas song.

@eFestivals How come they aren't SR in lineup as both Paul and Jacqui self confirmed on twitter and now playing Bristol that weekend?

[jyoung]

Definitely going to see these. Up there with Belle and Sebastian on my list of bands I love but haven't managed to see live.

Did you go to Glastonbury 2016?

It was literally Paul Heaton & Jacqui followed by Belle & Sebastian on the other stage.

I only say Paul & Jacqui. They were great. 

Bought a ticket for the Manchester gig as something to look forward to after Glastonbury.

I went in 2016, yeah. Not sure what I was doing instead of Paul and Jacqui... Weren't Belle and Sebastian 2015 though? I wasn't there then.
