I've been meaning to see her for a while, hope to this festival

Only aware she's playing Friday 1:40 at the Acoustic Stage, which is a touch clashy. Any other sets?

Sick and tired of all this division and anger.  Why doesn't she simply engage in civilized debate with people she disagrees with rather than protest against them?

[Zoo Music Girl]

Really looking forward to Grace and I don't think she clashes with anyone for me. Seen her once before and love her Black Tie song so much, always brings a tear to my eye! Gives me a reason to visit Acoustic too as I likely wouldn't otherwise.

Really hoping to see her but she clashes with Hobo Jones And The Junkyard Dogs.

I could pretty much write exactly the same as Zoo Music Girl.  Only difference is that I haven't seen Grace Petrie before.  I'll be taking a tissue in case she does Black Tie!

She definitely will, right? I'm really happy with her spot on the line-up, seems a perfect early afternoon act for me.

I am looking forward to her.

The only time I have seen her is when we went to see Emmy the Great in Birmingham and Grace was in the audience.

Emmy asked Grace to come on stage and do a tune during her encore, & she very nearly stole the show - tremendous. The kind of artist you can just like and relate to instantly. Perfect for Glastonbury.

She'd better do Black Tie, or I'll be the one protesting - against her!  But yes, she doesn't clash with anyone for me, and gives me a reason to visit the Acoustic Tent, so really happy I'll be able to see her.

She did Black tie

[Pear_Cider]

Saw her at Mac-Fest a few weeks ago where she confirmed she was playing the Acoustic stage. Absolutely brilliant and I fully intend to catch her again...as said though, shame about the crossover with the Hobos.

 

EDIT: Mac-Stock, not Mac-Fest ?

She is good. If you like her give Sean McGowan a listen (sadly not on the bill this year)
