Honestly, this is true of most music. Two-thirds of my music collection is from artists starting A-M

Its true of life... 16 people in my company - 11 of them are with people whose first names start A-M.
Before Covid, it was 13 out of 14!

Im loving listening to the bands in this Emerging Talent competition. Half way through. A couple (only a couple, which surprised me) Id seen before. 

Am I right in saying the finals take place in Pilton Village Hall or somewhere local like that. Is it streamed? It would be great if they did.

I thought the winners had been selected?

I dont think so - they only announced the longlist last week

There is a live final with around 8 finalists around the end of April. Typically all of the finalists end up playing somewhere on the site though. https://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/lewis-mclaughlin-wins-2022-emerging-talent-competition/

Same - saw them at Swn in Cardiff and it was absolutely mega

Anyone there tonight?

Vlure for the win, btw

Another one with fingers crossed for Vlure. Seen them quite a few times recently and they're phenomenal live.

They're great. Bags of energy and intensity. Hope they get added to the lineup regardless

Cool! Hope you're enjoying the show. Don't suppose anyone's let any rumours slip?

Nothing much big. Rabbit hole taking one act that I know of (he shouldn't stand in front of us making notes on his phone) Croissant Neuf Sue is taking at least one. Steve from West Holts seemed very interested in one. Expect they will all get a slot somewhere.

Believe Prima Queen are doing this and they've already been announced for the croissant.

[pilton digger]

N'Famady Kouyate wins. They all get a slot (as usual).
