So far the only sets from Galastobury I've seen are Pulp (which was tremendous) and Black Uhuru


I might start calling it Galastobury from now on.

I watched and enjoyed:

The 1975
Neil Young & the Chrome Hearts
Wet Leg

Jules


Yeah, Wet Leg were brilliant! However, I fell asleep halfway through Neil's set (no reflection on the music, just over-consumption of cider...!) and now I'll never see the last half as the grumpy old git won't let the BBC have it on catch-up...!  Sad

I thought the second half showed Neil's vocals improving and also his focus but I don't think you missed a vintage performance. If he had really delivered from the off, you would have stayed awake depite the cider.

Agreed, but it was still well worth a listen. At times, the groove was hot.

Leoni Jane Kennedy - New World Woman

Fab new Prog guitar wrangler makes an album of Folk/Americana-tinged, acoustic covers of songs from the more obscure end of the Rush canon.

What could possibly be better?!

Cheers

Roy Harper  :  The Dream Society  (Science Friction 2CD edition, 1998).

I may have played this  10 times or less. And i've bought RH releases as they came out for a long time now.

 It makes for a satisfying listen. Something of a unifying theme, a handful of great tunes, high emotion.  This edition  has a bonus disc of our man talking about the songs.

Roy waffles.  A lot.  I've seen Roy gigs in the 80s and 90s that were more waffle than gig, sadly, good as the musical bits were (mostly trying to cadge spliffs or a drink when he wasn't 'explaining' something badly).  Shut up and play your guitar etc etc.

Ah yes i know what you mean.  I've been to RH gigs like that.  I'm afraid a lot of it was enabled by  audience members shouting up, but the tendency was  there.

Actually the comments on the bonus disc are on point and do actually add something.  Imo of course.

Shirley Collins  :  'Hares on the Mountain'/ 'Oakham Poachers'  (Domino Records 7", download included, 2025, limited edition of 300).

One of those items i ordered just for the sake of having it.  It does sound and look good, though.
