CaledonianGonzo Posted March 3, 2022 Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 I don't disagree but presumably he's just got a slot DJing in Maceos or something. He's not on El Pointo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That depends what slot he's doing surely - Just about anyone with any connection to the music business can get a slot if they're prepared to take less money (often zero) and/or a lower billing than they'd otherwise expect. He appears to be a DJ - in which case playing Glastonbury could be anything from an 6pm slot in Samula to zero people, to Arcadia at midnight with a full field.. If it's the latter, you definitely have a point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent band from Dublin Oooohh quality. I'm much more interested in these up and coming acts and this s great start. Williams Green or an early Park slot is my guess.

I saw him at a festival in Bristol in summer as he didn't clash with anyone and I've got a few mates that know him from uni. While I don't disagree with your point, it wasn't a bad set at all. Good mix of Frontier Psychiatrist in there so I was happy. Hopefully I can just see The Avalanches on the farm though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty big assumption that he is only there because of his parents, and even if he is it’s not as though he is headlining, nothing wrong with friends of the organisers getting their son a little leg up. No different to an act appearing as part of a package deal with a bigger act or an act appearing because his or her label want them to rather than the festival out and out wanting them. bonos son probably got his foot in the door because of who his dad is but is now proving his own worth. woody cook will have to stand on his own two feet no matter who his parents are, no matter what chances his last name gets him.
