Craig Charles Funk and Soul

[Franky]

Another set I would like to see, 

Lovely warm afternoon, loads of people dancing to some F&S, I saw him hmmmmmmm can't remember the year, I want to say in SE corner during the day and then a DJ set very late on up somewhere else. Very different vibes lol 

It was actually the same year I saw Robert Llewellyn give a talk on EV's in the Crow's Nest, 2017 I'm going to say..................... 

The last Glastonbury I got tickets for 😪 

UNTIL THIS ONE WOOOOOOHOOOOOO 🥰😎

 

 

Red Dwarf Vibes 😉

Craig usually does his funk and soul afternoon in Shangri La on Fridays so I would imagine he'll be there this year bringing the funk!

[Franky]

Yeah that's where I saw his day set actually. Good knowledge 🙂 

Just checked my phone and I've actually got a couple of vids from it lol.

[Franky]

Hmmm did I get this wrong, not uploaded a vid before

Missed it this year due to Wet Leg & Confidence Man. 

One year a great band called Smoove & Turrell came on afterwards. It was chokka for Craig and everybody left when the band came on playing similar stuff to what Craig plays 😩

His Friday sets are a festival staple for me and always make the effort to stop by when I'm at a loose end

[mazola]

It's a case of diminishing returns for me, caught him at the last 5 or 6 times but struggled to get in to it last year

His sets are pretty samey but always good fun, especially when the weather is good!

I stumbled across Craig on the Bug I think it’s called?! In 2019 next to Pangaea. Really fun! Banger after banger. 

[gigpusher]

Hasn't he already self confirmed?

2019 on Truth was great fun, even if that area was hotter than an oven at the time.

Amusingly we bumped into, and recognised from having been on stage, his (step?)son later that evening in the Beat Hotel, was a very nice chap

Absolutely love S&T and have seen them loads since, playing in a room at a pub, always put on a great show.  I agree I couldn't understand why people didn't want to hear a live band playing stuff that they'd just listened to a DJ play!  Having chatted to them in the bar last time I saw them though, it seems they're not great fans of Glasto so not sure we'll seem them back there.

And yes 2019 was almost unbearable and standing in that heat for Craig and S&T finished me off for the rest of the day as I dehydrated and had a massive headache I couldn't shift.

If its something about whether she would play, then yes would be teasing.
