Glastonbury

[dave50]

What a load of pretentious crap.

[andy-hughes]

A succinct impression.

[tonyav]

Yep.

[pastafreak]

What...all of Glastonbury...or just the BBC rendition?

[ichkeria]

Lol

Are your ears steam powered?

[jno]

it's awful, Ichkeria, it's full of young people like Billie Eilish and Greta Thunberg and old people like Paul McCartney.

Rampant ageism. Where are the middle-aged morris dancers is what I want to know.

[douglas9401]

Billie Eilish, not even 100% genuine Eil.

Aunty Beeb seems to have had some problems editing the highlights together for the BBC Two late night programme. It was scheduled to start at 0030 but got put back to 0055 by the inclusion of an old edition of Live at the Apollo. At the end of that programme though, they announced that the Glasto coverage wouldn't be starting until after they'd shown some QI clips. So I'm only just getting into it.

[Rosetta]

Just watching highlights on BBC2. Who is the blonde female performer, wearing pink trousers and a shiney red top?. She is atrocious, the song is boring and unintelligible, her voice flat and out of tune, if tune it can be described as such, and her performance was abysmal gyrations.

[Buenchico]

^^^ I don't know who she was either but I agree that the vast majority of the performance was dire. However the final song had some agreeable elements of jazz funk to it, which at least made it 'acceptable' to me, even if it wasn't 'great'.

[Buenchico]

^^^ It's also annoying that what was scheduled as a one and a half hour programme got cut to just half of that time, rather than going on later to make up for the late start.

[Buenchico]

I've just started to watch Sigrid's performance on iPlayer. It's got promise!

[Rosetta]

If you find out who she was, let me know so I can avoid her in future.
I did watch some of Macca , bit curates egg for me, but have to admire his stamina at 80

[david small]

So many virtue signallers in one place.

[Buenchico]

Rosetta:
Having just watched Sigrid's performance on iPlayer (which was pretty good), I've looked back to find out who the appalling woman in pink was. Here's who you need to avoid in future:

[Gromit]

Roisin Murphy used to be great in Moloko. Didn’t see her performance, but I can’t believe it was terrible.

[murraymints]

I guess it is all about the experience of going along and "mucking in" it rarely goes to tv well ..no auto tuning etc but it looks like fun !

[emmie]

i patched in for a few minutes, that was enough.

[davebro]

It's everything I hate - noisy crowds, too loud music, squelching around in mud & dire toilet facilities.

[emmie]

me too....^^
