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?

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.....

Thanks, I'll check those out, but I don't know who the Beautiful South or Housemartins are either. Not joking ?

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 :D

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.

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.

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
