[William of Walworth]

Belatedly picking up on this rumour -- from virtualfestivals :

VF : We hear you're playing Glastonbury this year?

Suggs : "So I'm led to believe. Yeah, it's all sort of up in the air but I've seen them advertising us, so I assume that we are playing there. We were going to do the Sunday afternoon bit but then I think Shirley Bassey came in so it's all being rearranged. But I very much look forward to playing there. We probably haven't since 1981."

I've been longing for years to see Madness at Glasto, they'd be superb

Don't know where Suggs gets the idea that he's 'seen them advertising us' from, though ...

(Oh, and kill that Shirley Basey rumour, Glastonbury .... )

Yer man at Guilfest, in 2002 :

Dame Shirl confirms

I can't quite make my mind up if that's brilliant or awful

 

[J77]

Dame Shirl confirms

Is he still hoping for a celebrity on-stage death... ?

 

[Lisarocket]

I can't quite make my mind up if that's brilliant or awful

Me neither. I'll probably go and see her though

 

[moose]

i'd love to see her! Better than Kylie!

 

[sojourner]

Dame Shirl confirms(well, confirms she's in talks)

i'd actually LOVE to see shirley bassey

 

[William of Walworth]

Erm ... I may be ... erm ... 'busy'

If Madness really are on the agenda as well (which I want to but still can't quite believe), I'm SURE the organisers'll work something out.

<Suggs and Shirley in face-off over which slot shocker! >

 

[pagan]

i'd actually LOVE to see shirley bassey

The old timer slots are usually the highlight for me, gig-wise.
Johhny Cash, Tony Bennet, Al Green

 

[William of Walworth]

<heads for Drum n Bass tent** to escape from the old farts >

**Or Madness stage ...

<Actually that Johnny Cash gig was BRILLIANT, but otherwise, of the ones you mention .... >

I'd love to see Dame Shirl, I hope she'll wear one of those frocks that's cut half way down her bum at the back Sequins too of course

 

[Baron Samedi]

So when do you know you're in or not - isn't it about 3 to 1 chance ????

 

[Dubversion]

Bassey would be fantastic

What do you mean? I take it you've already registered. It'll be clear enough on ticket sale day (Sunday 1st April) whether you've succeeded ....

Consign me to Philistine Hell, but I've never really liked her at all ... sorry

Plenty of variety for all, though, that's the Glasto game.

I apologise for hoping she wouldn't make it , cos she's clearly popular with quite a few ...

 

[Dubversion]

you have no fun or glamour in your soul, william

 

[William of Walworth]

Wanna bet?

You never know I may end up there out of idle curiosity anyway, and end up loving it!

It's happened before at Glasto

 

[Magic Sam]

Bassey would be fantastic

And there was you taking the piss out of "my" best of Liberace on slsk

 

[The_Reverend_M]

Let's hope she does her cover of Pink's 'I'm Coming Up'

 

[kyser_soze]

Dunno if it's been mentioned, but there's a Glastonbury sized gap in the Chemical Brother's tour schedule, with multiple dates either side of that weekend...now I wouldn't want to speculate but I'd say that was a clue...new album, world tour, dates galore in the previous and sucessive weeks...unless they're just taking the weekend off of course...

I've made the effort to attend them twice at Glastonbury - which is quite an effort for me - was disappointed both times.

One time they had that stuff out with Gallagher and set up a mic at the front of the stage, I think lots were there for him to turn up - which, of course, he didn't.

 

[scumbalina]

Just found out we didn't get a stall this year. So no Glastonbury for me

Went to see them in 2000 and that was great, shame about the sound system, never to be repeated, I've been back. I think I'll go to the Croissant Neuf stage which i have never stepped into, 4 years of going.

I daren't say how many years I went without going in there -- I'd been in every single other tent in that area ...

It's nice in Crioissant Neuf though

Ahhh shame

See you at Strawberry Fair though eh?

yer kidding aintcha? saw them on 2nd stage in the mudfest year, and they were mindbogglingly awesome. the bit where they went from where does it begin into private psychedelic reel was stupendous, made everyone we knew at home who was watching stop laughing at us and go 'fuck, wish i was there now', and its still one of my all-time live highlights.

normally the CB's bloody noodle way too much between tracks (like the orb did), but there they just played and bloody well rocked.
