How old is Dexys lead singer? I remember when he played in the bathroom mid 1980s on the Young Ones

Christ, this is a depressing watch. No particular one singer or song. Just the coverage, and the crowds, people jogging, 15k yurts, etc.

The GF would have been a different place if my dad had.

If your Dad was your simultaneously your Mum and Dad it would be very different

Didn’t even know what a yurt was, just had to google it. It’s incredible what Glastonbury has become, from Marc Bolan singing to a couple of hundred sitting on bails of hay to this.

You leave his hemam out of it.

 

He’s still processing the trauma, as his own personal fiefdom of the trans thread testifies to.

Really liked Dive by Olivia Dean. I’ll check some more of her stuff. Sugababes were sound too. Always loved Freak Like Me, even if the original by Adina Howard is better. Shame that Mutya has totally warped her looks with apparently every kind of surgery going. 

I've just looked that lady up and she must have some form of body dysmorphia with what she's had done to herself. Such a shame.

[Paul]

Really enjoyed the Bombay Bicycle Club track with Damon Albarn. Boss seeing a band with a string and horn section on stage with them.

Polly Jean is one of the few people in the world who could walk on stage and say ‘I’m going to play the new album in it’s entirety’ and you’d be completely fine with it despite her having an amazing back catalogue.

 

One of a kind brilliance.

Kevin Rowland looked amazing. That was one serious suit and shirt combo. And that hat was fucking great. He’s fucking 70!!! Absolute G.

Is fucking right.

 

Her last tour last year she did exactly that....played new album front to back - then came back and played a few hits and deep cuts.

 

She is my favourite all time artist...In my book nobody compares.

[El Rojo]

There’s always one or two people in every crowd shot who make me glad that I’m watching this on television rather than actually being there.

Her one time boyfriend is better.  Like you say though all opinions.

I am a Cave fan - but for my money she is untouchable - but yeah that is the beauty of art, different strokes and all that.

If she belted out ‘50ft Queenie’ or ‘This Is Love’ it’d just feel odd as that was the old ‘her’.

 

I saw her in the ‘White Chalk’ tour and it was sublime, but nary a hit in sight.

Yeah, I edited once I’d realised.

 

I’m London then so might go to that.

 

She did a great thing at Somerset House years back and you could go and watch her conceive and record an album.

Nobody beats Nick Cave like. Polly is up there.

Don't like PJ Harvey, pleased you're all enjoying the set though. 

[Riley Greenleaf]

Idles have very decent energy
