Johnnie Flynn and The River People are playing the folk stage on Saturday night. Lankum are playing earlier and I think The Mary Wallopers are on, too. Really looking forward to that: just hope they show the full set.

I have heard there is a good up and coming band called Coldplay performing and their lead singer is Chris Martin. I am sure they will be one to look out for in the future, as well as going on to bigger and better things.

What a thoroughly refreshing chat this is. I can't wait to be in the old folks home listening to all these great bands!

I’m looking forward to Shania Twain and Coldplay (of course), just missed Cyndi Lawper so will have to find her on catch-up.
Watched a band I’d never heard of called The last Dinner Party - thought they were really good.

Desperately looking for advice on mobile scooters.
Only need one for taking dog out, and me to be honest. Fed up of four walls and not being able to just walk down the lane.
Any advice I will be grateful for
Thanks.

Oh ballie I think the best gig I went to was to see them at the Emirates stadium. An amazing experience.

My catchup tv has stopped working. Thank goodness I can access it via my ipad.

Dua Lipa was fantastic!
My local pub played the set [loud) it was a good night.
I’m enjoying listening to the Red Hot Pipers, I’d not heard of them before so thanks GN for this.

Heilung not Heilan.

Bridie22 Sat 29-Jun-24 12:00:24

I think its called " Youth" Maybee70 🤣

Keane - Tom Chaplin’s voice is wonderful, my favourite song is Sovereign Light Café (but they ended their IOW set with it).

The Manfreds, all the old hits.

Tanita Tikaram.

Bernard Butler, though I wish Brett Anderson would be with him.

Coldplay, obviously.

MayBee70 Sat 29-Jun-24 11:58:24

How do they remember all those dance moves? And how do people go down on their knees and get up again ( Sophie Ellis Bector does it all the time). I’ve just been told about a band called Heilan who make a sort of Iron Age music..

Bridie22 Sat 29-Jun-24 11:54:09

Thourghly enjoyed Dua Lipa, what energy! New to me was Confidence Man on the afternoon they were entertaining.

I lived in Braintree and the Prodigy lived down the road to where I lived. It was great to see them from time to time.
We also went to see the Funeral of the Band Member Keith Flint. There were lots of people lining the street to see the funeral procession and also a band member brought Keiths dog along.

Juicylucy Sat 29-Jun-24 11:24:17

Lots of good bands on the small stages sat watching last night for 4 hrs. Love watching glastonbury introduces you to many new bands. Missed the Prodigy I’ll go search now.

The wonderful Sam Lee has just been on iplayer ! I just caught it as I flicked over to it…

I have heard of Shania Twain.

You can’t beat a bit of Shania to get the party going.

Callistemon213 Wed 26-Jun-24 14:58:54

Oh, I may have missed that, or forgotten it kittylester

Sounds as if you were a bit of a daredevil in your youth 😃.

I think I have also mentioned before that DH'oldest brother played in Manfred Mann's band before they 'made it'. He now writes and plays jazz songs - very badly!!
