Dexys?

[Joey Peeps]

Hope they might dole out more of the old ones with it being a high profile gig on the Beeb.

Don't see that making any difference given that it's middle of the day on The Park. At best they'll get a couple songs on one of the main broadcasts, and maybe an extended set on BBC4 and/or iPlayer for the more dedicated fans to seek out.

If anything they'll play less. Kev's a contrarian by nature.

process

1. bbc decide its a set they wat to film

2. negotiation with band for terms for filming and broadcast.

3.broadcast space for it to be broadcast.

Just listened to this again after a number of years. Still has the same affect now as the very first time I heard it. It is etherealy ambiguous, blurry.  You can never be sure about what it all means yet you feel an unquestionable emotional,  palpational connection.  

If you don't know it, seek it out.

 

Just done the same....had forgotten what a great track that is! What a journey

same applies, full sets tend to be sets that went out on tv.

'The band's name was derived from Dexedrine, a brand of dextroamphetamine used as a recreational drug among Northern soul fans to give them energy to dance all night.^[5] While recruiting members for the new band, Rowland noted that "Anyone joining Dexys had to give up their job and rehearse all day long'. 

The Northern Soul nights in Birmingham (and probably elsewhere) used to take place in a nightclub which catered for the 'mainstream' disco type crew up until about 1am on a Saturday or Sunday morning. Then at about 2am they's open up again for the Northern Soul crew. As the venue was only licenced to 1am, there was no alcohol at the bar for the Northern Soul punters. They didn't need it - all they wanted to do was dance. Oh, and take speed.

My wife used to know dexys drummer and used to hang out with them in the black country or Brum.

My definition of that equates to 'hard as f**k then'. 

[Monty Pythagoras]

I'm actually really excited for them. Those last four songs are going to be taps aff.

This is what they said last year... 

"For those wanting a personalised experience, BBC iPlayer also offers the choice to move between continuous live streams from the five main festival stages"  (Pyramid, Other, Woodsies, Park and West Holts)

it doesn't get all of those stages, cos if i go to get something on iPlayer, its often not there, or just snippets in a highlights programme.

Just surprised as that seems to contradict their statement of what they were supplying on iPlayer in 23  (not that I look)

That might have been their aim. But will be dependent on the band agreeing with how the beeb want to distribute.

[Joey Peeps]

Last two years at least all of the sets, or at least the vast majority, from the five main stages have been available on iPlayer for 30 days.

Excellent news 👍

[Gnomicide]

They do cut some of the sets down, and remove some too. Lana plus at least one other wasn't available (someone who got a load of grief when it went out live? Can't remember who it was) and I know The Chicks set had a few songs missing.

If she's from the Black Country, i reckon she could nut rivets into steel girders.
