Avalon_Fields Posted January 24, 2023 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 Has any previous Glastonbury Emerging Talent winner got anywhere in their music career? (It's not a cynical question, just interested to know!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted January 24, 2023 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 the quality of the winners normally shines above the others at the finals, and then michael picks his favourite, and the other judges don't dare to disagree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were joint winners along with vlackbud. I like how rock nroll queen was used in that advert with the drummers. Hope they got well paid for that.

gigpusher Posted January 30, 2023 Report Share Posted January 30, 2023 I really liked Bridie Jackson and the Arbour who won many years ago but sadly they weren't one of the success stories. I went to see them at their own gig and there weren't many of us there. A shame she had a great voice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankieX Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 I've listened through the playlist, and my favourite is rapper FFSYTHO: There's plenty of decent songs in there, from a wide variety of styles, and it could just come down to who performs best on the day. My favourite video on the list is this one by Malenka, which really tells a story in its own right: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blisterpack Posted March 20, 2023 Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 Anyone else look at that longlist and notice the number of acts beginning with ‘A’ (and other early alphabet letters)? Almost like the longlist judges couldn’t be arsed listening after about half an hour! Might enter next year as Aardvarks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2019 Posted March 20, 2023 Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 Looking forward to seeing Prima Queen in Guildford (May 18). Eclipse and Butter Knife have had plays on 6music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost like the longlist judges couldn’t be arsed listening after about half an hour! Might enter next year as Aardvarks Honestly, this is true of most music. Two-thirds of my music collection is from artists starting A-M (Not including 'The'), and if you look at festival lineups alphabetically (Look at the list of acts in last year's Clashfinder options for example) there is almost always a bias towards earlier letters. Part of that is just the English language (Fewer words/names beginning with U/V/X/Y/Z), part of it might be that being nearer the top of an alphabetical list on something like Spotify or a longlist might confer some advantage.

Neil Posted March 20, 2023 Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 Just now, Neil said: nah, i reckon bands just choose a name they like. cos no band is gonna want to be called arseholes, just to be at the start of the alphabet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two-thirds of my music collection is from artists starting A-M Sort of get this, but of the first 18 acts - selected by six different judges - only three don’t begin with the first five letters of the alphabet. And only one doesn’t begin with the first seven letters. Statistically unlikely. I suspect they either couldn’t be arsed or the early stuff impressed and they found no reason to change their mind.
