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.

No, I didn't, calli. But I did go out with the very good looking, young policeman who pulled me down- so all was not lost.grin

I love Paul Jones. Climbed a drain pipe to get to his dressing room. I might have mentioned that before.

He was brilliant on the hootenanny (sp).

Did you get in?
I loved him too he's still lovely.

I saw Manfred Mann once walking in Trafalgar Square in the 1960s; he was really disappointing in real life.

For the avoidance of any confusion - this is definitely NOT Anthony Kiedis and co....

Oh I understand now. I’d never heard of Chilli Pipers! Thought it was a typo!

I’m confused. I’ve always called Red Hot Chilli Peppers just Chilli Peppers.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - American rock band. Red Hot Chilli Pipers - band which plays Celtic rock.

I’ve just looked up who’s in the Chilli Peppers now and am totally confused as their whole career seems like a game of musical chairs. It seems weird that all the bands playing at these festivals are the same ones that we used to play in the car when I drove my kids around in their teens.

As I said, they're not at Glasto this year - it's the Red Hot Chilli Pipers who are playing this year.

The Chilli Pipers are all kinds of fabulous.

I think that Stevie Wonder is on the Legend's stage

I think Stevie Wonder was going to be the headliner this year, but sadly he’s not there, shame as I would definitely have watched him, he is a legend

Yes, MayBee

They have a similar sort of vibe to Free.
I also thought of lynard skynard, too

Me too. Remind me a bit of Free? Maybe not quite my sort of music but incredibly good and great stage presence. I’ll certainly make a point of watching them this weekend. Great name, too!

Fun loving criminals are playing. They are well known crime writers including Val McDermid.

Fun Loving Crime Writers - not Criminals, lol - that's a completely different kettle of fish!

The Manfreds featuring Paul Jones and Mike D'Abo 😃

Apart from the famous ones already mentioned, Fleetwood Mac, Red Hot Chili Peppers (because DD likes them), Cyndi Lauper

Apart from singers, Joe Wicks, Janina Ramirez, Maggie Aderin and Alice Roberts could be interesting.

Who knew there were so many bands?

It's the Red Hot Chilli Pipers who are playing at Glastonbury this year - not the Peppers grin

Oh no - read what you want to read I suppose! 😁

I just checked out YouTube and listened to 'Colours' smile

Another band to keep an eye on. smile

paddyann54 Tue 25-Jun-24 14:08:34

The Black Pumas,a band rarely seen in the UK but who have been around a long time in the USA .I listen to them a lot but looking forward to seeing them perform

He actually liked horses and, nothing like his image, did dressage and stuff I believe. I’m sure it will be repeated at some point; I’ll try to look out for it. If you like a band and they do a good set that’s one thing but if you aren’t particularly a fan ( eg me with Queen at Live Aid) and they blow you away it has to be something special.

MissAdventure Tue 25-Jun-24 13:16:32

I really regret not catching the Prodigy.

One of my favourite bands.
I assumed they might be a bit lacklustre without Keef.
