A bit boring perhaps but seen them all at least 4-5 times and many of them are just really nice chilled out people. My friend the Piano Stage booker isn't telling me much but said I'd really enjoy his picks.

 

One way to do that is to put Dove Ellis on Piano to deal with that clash against Man/Woman/Chainsaw.

Maybe the unusual nature of Pulp’s act is it will be Jarvis playing Red Dead Redemption 2.

Genuine question. Am I missing something with Angeine du (cant even begin to spell the rest without spellcheck going into meltdown) . I try but it seems hype for hypes sake. Im open to many many types of music but it just feels this is nothing new dressed up in some polka dots.

Up tempo stuff, looks fun.

 

 

 

Was always going to be backlash after the hype. Happens every time.

CMAT

?

 

Nothing against her, but she's not in my top 10 and I'd rather see Kurt Vile or Lawrence (Mozart Estate), which clash.
