i think i saw a documentary about it

some guy travelling around the world he wanted to make a song that incorperated loads of diferent cultures and instuments...the song in question im sure was like 45 mins long, it might just be that song im not entirely sure

i might be way off the mark here, and if so sorry

but if im right it should be quite an experience.

i imagine they will have some decent performers for a glasto headline slot, think this might sway my saturday night dilema

So there could be quite a few good acts playing in the same set?? Interesting.

i think the general jist of it is they get musicians together on the morning of the gig and then just go out and play after a little practice. What better place to get some quality musicians then saturday morning at glasto. i vote representing england they got johnny greenwood on guitar!

musicly it seems like they play a lot of 60s stuff they play, you can find a few things on youtube about it.

Talvin Singh has confirmed he is palying Glasto but doesnt appear on the lists!

He is class so if part of this it would be impressive!

oooo I've got a track by them on a CD somewhere, it has Michael Stipe with Asha Bhosle, the Indian singer they sang about in the song Brimful of Asha.

Here starteth the REM playing this Glasto rumours?!?

[elbongo]

Whilst the opportunity for some name musicians to make an appearance is certainly possible, this should be able to work without any names IMO. I could quite fancy it on that basis.

[Chickenburger]

even if it is just a bunch of unknown musicians, ive still decided to break my jazzworld headline virginity with these. going to be quality.
