Cooter Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 I'm not there this year but if I was I'd be running to see this lot. Anyone seen them recently? Wow what a band they were and hopefully still are. How's Skins voice nowadays? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watergirl Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 Just looked at the Clashfinder. I am volunteering with Oxfam but provided I am not working I could potentially see Skunk Anansie. I have never seen them and would like to. Kind of cool that she was the first female Glastonbury headliner ever - way before this became a thing.

Her voice was fantastic then so hopefully still ok. First time I'd seen them live. Always liked them just never got round to it before.

Cooter Posted June 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 Good for you Watergirl, I saw them the first time around and they were great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beergirl Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 Seen them 3 times in the last 5/6 years, most recently in April and they've been great every time. Skin's voice is still awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was the first black female headliner but first female headliner award goes to Suzanne Vega who played wearing a bullet proof vest as she had received credible death threats. Skunk Anansie are on my possible list. I read Skin’s biography recently and she is a very interesting lady. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watergirl Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 Ah yes, I remember now reading about Suzanne Vega. Want to read Skin's book as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew very little about her (not even the music really, one of those bands that kind of passed me by) but the biography made me start listening to her stuff. I love a good biography and I don’t really care whether I know the person or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torn here though as they clash with Gabriels whose singer has the voice of an angel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am reading 'Bunnyman' at the moment, by Will Sergeant of Echo & the Bunnymen. A great read. His account of seeing Slade is one of the best bits of rock'n roll writing I have read!

Quark Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 Loved them but never seen them. Was going to in Apr but got covid. One of my only 100% nailed on no ifs no buts no coconuts acts. Front and centre in the pit for this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so gutted that he clashes with Yasmin Williams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fat_man_joe Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 Always wanted to see Skunk Anansie. I'll definitely be there. Do you 'spose Pavarotti could turn up again for a guest slot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quark Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 So this has been my listening this afternoon, got me thinking about setlist for the Saturday. They've got an hour, so I've taken a stab at what they might come out with / what I'm hoping for. Unbelievably, at least on Setlist.fm, they never play Rise Up live so I'm just gonna have to file that one away with Radiohead playing Thinking About You as a never gonna happen moment.
