Their glam pop rock singles were good but the b sides of each single had some good heavy rock tracks. Brian Connolly the original lead singer always said they loved playing and recording them, better than the ballroom blitz style of songs. Need A Lot of Lovin' is a monster.

CaledonianGonzo Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 OK. I'm down with Avalon or somewhere getting on the dog'n'bone to Andy Scott for an afternoon Sweet-fest. Chinnichap tunes are low key goated when glam rock is the vibe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they were technically the headliner that night, although they weren't the last act on! All the acts in white were the Glade headliners last year. I think they were on at about 8pm, isn't that a bit early for a headliner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex DeLarge Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 Find it interesting everyone's had issues with the line-up but seem fairly happy with the acoustic this year. I've not heard of a good half of the artists there! Just shows how subjective it can be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also his Tom Thorne detective novels feature characters with stand up comedians' surnames. Haven't read any for a while but I remember Brigstock, Holland, Boyle, Yashere, Porter and Byrne cropping up.

CM is Chris Moyles: CM: “Have you done Glasto, have you been to Glastonbury before?” RC: “No, I’ve never been to Glastonbury before, and it came out of the blue about seven or eight months ago. We got a little phone call and we’ve had to not talk about it for all this time. And you can imagine, you know, having a group of musicians around me that have been playing all of their lives. And for them to be playing Glastonbury, they just wanted to tell the world. We had to keep it secret until the other day.” CM: “So you’re going to be playing the acoustic stage. Have you see who else is playing the acoustic stage, the line up?” RC: “Yeah, yeah.” CM: “Oh, this ain’t no shabby, 113th stage in one of the far fields. This is a big deal! And you’ve got Ralph McTell is playing.” RC: “That’s just so cool. Yeah but also Albert Lee is playing on the same day.” CM: “Ocean Colour Scene are playing.” RC: “I’ve got two of their songs on my principal playlist, so that was… You know, it’s all a surprise, we didn’t anything about it. We probably don’t have the best Glastonbury experience ahead of us, because that would mean being able to be there for three days and what have you, see everything and do all that, but we’re basically being driven in on the day. We’ll do our thing, then we’ve got like a two-hour thing where we can look around but then we have to back on the bus, because we’ve got to be on a plane, because we’re flying to Dublin that night.” CM: “Oh, you’re joking! I mean, could you not fly to Dublin the next morning?” RC: “Well, there’s some basic sort of discipline things behind that. We’ve got a really big tour; we’re on the road for two months. So there is a lot of, ‘early to bed, boys.’” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe very occasionally the odd "roving reporter" insert (although it feels like we get less of those these days overall). But they don't have any cameras there so there's no scope to broadcast actual sets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 It's Blockbuster that sounds like The Jean Genie. But then it's not like it's Bowie's riff.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalon_Fields Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 Was there ever confirmation the riff was nicked by The Sweet? I seem to remember Blockbuster came out before Jean Genie? At the time, it was assumed The Sweet stole it off Bowie. And, like everything, neither was completely original but it was odd they both came out within a short time of each other.

Sometimes someone who is playing the acoustic stage will get to sing a song in the BBC studio but nothing from the stage itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt anyone wanted to get into a mud-slinging match over it given its obviously very 'inspired' by Bo Diddley and Muddy Waters, e.g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalon_Fields Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 Wow, that’s ever so slightly similar!! Starman was nicked from Somewhere Over The Rainbow. One of Tin Machine’s songs was an exact rip off of Wild Thing. Bowie was no angel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
