Does he know that I'm not big enough to headline?

Does he know I demand a fee bigger that fleetwood mac? 

On the subject of acts, Watched the Donovan documentary on sky arts, would be nice to see him at Glastonbury for the 50th

It’s interesting to reflect on those who attended the first festival. In 1970 I Had just turned teenager. Decent Music didn’t find you, you had to go and find it yourself. It was word of mouth, devouring the music press for gigs, listening to obscure radio shows. Nothing on tv apart from the who or stones on totp until whistle test appeared in 71.  no internet.  There was a fear amongst teenagers, a real fear, of being called up if we got involved in Vietnam or the bomb dropped. We got into music from James Taylor, cat Stevens, to deep purple, floyd etc.  Gigs were riotous and gatherings of those of similar minds.  We’ve come a long way since then, but I reckon Glastonbury has retained this sense of togetherness despite the huge attendance and changes in society. 

Happy fiftieth!

So all those going to the London book thingy have been asked to submit questions for Emily, Billy B, Caitlin Moran etc - anyone got any? I'm not submitting any 'who are the headliners?' type gubbins.

one I failed to ask last time ... I created a separate thread for it ..... I wonder how much they check social media ? and does it influence them at all ? I hope I know the answer to the second one ... but id hate for them to be influenced / affected by it in any way

    • Yes sorry for delay in replying! I'll message you when I put it on there. I think it goes live next week 
    • Or-and I don’t care either way-she splits her 3 BST nights over two weekends leaving space for Glastonbury (raised eyebrow)
    • Good catch this. Used on the Main stage on Saturday like a really cheap alternative.   Cracking little day though. A few Belgian acts to start the day (Atomic Orchestra, Kids with Buns, Selah Sue), some UK/IE midsized bands to end the afternoon (Gurriers, Wunderhorse, Wet Leg) and then an evening of Deftones, Florence and Underworld.   Can’t wait to be there and (at least try to) make the most of it.
    • I would be surprised if they don't, given 2022 was the twentieth I imagine next year is going to be pushed as the 25th anniversary so having the most local big name artist possible headline seems natural. Maybe SFA are being saved for then too?
    • I’d be incredibly surprised if she was in the headline conversation at all. At best I could say a high Pyramid slot but I reckon maybe Other headliner against a rock act like Fender or even Other sub (where I have her in my predictions). I’d say Gracie Abrams is pulling similar if not better numbers to Tate and she was third down on the Other last year.
