Joy Crookes

[CaledonianGonzo]

She cried twice, she covered The Clash, she d@bbed down Priti Patel and she kept stopping songs cos people weren't singing along loudly enough.

She was fucking fab.

[Matt42]

Yeah I enjoyed. I unfortunately was in a deck chair at the time pretty tired but I enjoyed. 

Interested to see how her career develops.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Ban deck chairs in the Pyramid Stage field imho

[fred quimby]

One I missed but all of our group that saw her said she nailed it.

[CaledonianGonzo]

On the Saturday I saw two artists doing tracks called Don't Let Me Down on El Pointo and both were life-affirming stuff.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Aye looked fantastic on the telly. Excellent in person at Big Weekend in May too. Love her album and very excited to see what she does next. 

[amfy]

We saw her on the WOW stage in 2019 when she was on at the same time as Kylie. It was brilliant to see her step up to The Pyramid, she is a terrific singer and songwriter and deserves to do well.

[gazzared]

Yeah I watched her mid way up the field with my mates and thought she was good 👍 thanks to the Spotify playlist from @Brave Sir Robin👍

My son recommended I have a listen pre festival and he wasn't wrong. Really enjoyed her set in the sun.

[Matt42]

That when you were mine song is a proper tune.

It's a cast iron belter

Saturday was my one day not working with Oxfam so decided to get as much in as possible, planted myself at the barrier and waited for the next act on the Pyramid. Didn’t know much about her.

Appart  from Macca the act of the day for me and one of the whole weekend, she was just amazing!

[Padjeq]

Followed her for years now, and it was great to see how confident she's become on stage.

Prob should add on the regrets thread, missed all but the last couple of songs in her set - can’t even remember what I was doing instead now! 🙁 

Really enjoyed those couple of songs though & hopefully will get to see a full set from her in future. 

[4AssedMonkey]

Was one of the highlights for me.  Absolutely love her album.  Great voice, strong Billie Holiday/Amy Winehouse vibes.

Absolutely brilliant set. Early Pyramid is a difficult slot with 1 album, and there were a few groups of initially disruptive people trying to get a good spot for Easy Life but she quickly won even them over. A weekend highlight for sure.

the Amy comparisons always feel lazy but it’s hard to disagree. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Just remembered this. Was a bit good.

Haven’t heard much from her since 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Not in terms of new tunes, no - but she seems to be in the media fair bit.  She's in some car advert at the minute.

In fact, seeing her supporting Lizzo in a couple of weeks as well.

It's not just the song...she's also in the ad.

[Bike_Like_A_Mum]

Love Joy Crookes...she was one of my 'must-sees' last year but, alas I missed her set! Doh! Hope she'll be back somewhere on another stage maybe...

[gfa]
