Wurzels for '27

[Neil]

Last week the Wurzels played a Glastonbury festival stage at the bath  and west show. I doubt there was a bands budget for the stage, so I reckon it was for the promise of a good slot at the next festival because that's how Michael likes to do things, he hates spending money he doesn't have to.

 

The obvious place for Wurzels to play would be Avalon tent, but that would cause crowd chaos, so I'll guess Sunday pyramid opener cos they like to have a local or fun act in that slot, and it just feels right to me.

Another (remote) possibility could be the legends slot.

Whenever I hear Michael Eavis referred to as 'Michael'. I get the same feeling as Kenny Everett's 'Cupid Stunt' character referring to  Michael Parkinson as 'Michael.'  Admittedly, that example is a trip back to the 1980s. but it's still relevant in that name-dropping is really jarring unless you're actually that person's mum/dad/daughter/etc.

Looking forward to seeing them at the Godney Gathering next month.

I suppose it’s actually Sir Michael now 😊
