Friday other stage opener

[Ruwise]

I've seen Tim Minchin and he was great. Chatted to him afterwards as well and he was a lovely chap. He's certainly better than many of the acts that have been suggested.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Whereas Tim Minchin is rip roaring and usually performs barefoot hence the knock your socks off.*

* I still have no reason to believe it will be him but one can dream!

[Ruwise]

I can add a reason: he's doing a date in London on the 10th July. Warm-up slot?

And he's not appalling; he's awesome.

[FloorFiller]

Tim Minchin is shite and that would be shite. it won't be him anyway; he hardly fits the description and there's no need for him to be in a TBA secret slot

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

I have a thing against musical comedy and if that makes me a bad person then I am completely comfortable with that - I know people who love him but I just find his whole act to be abysmal - average comedian and average musician - which isn't to say that any of the other acts mentioned in this thread are any better (although they probably are a bit)

[carllucey]

Tim Minchin did an early morning set at SGP not too long ago.

Saw Tim Minchin at BD a few years ago. The tent was completely rammed and he went down a storm Would like it to be him but can't see it.

[TomViolence]

I can. They're playing FYF Fest in August.

[Jack Nottm]

This seems like the most appropriate place to ask but does anyone have any ideas on the two williams green live bands on the thursday?

[dentalplan]

My mate said the NME article says in addition to the show you mentioned

[johnny-yen]

Does anyone have last years programme?

What were the clues for Beady Eye? With hindsight, could you have guessed it was them from the description?

Just trying to work out if it's worth trying to work out the 'wooly socks' clue.

[rexclark]

Nailed it.

[julesangel]

My daughter texted me about Beady Eye last year, so I think it must have been in the press on Thursday

[johnny-yen]

"Who could it be?"

BE are obviously the initials of Beady Eye and was the title of their, at the time, newly released album.

Apart from that tenuous link, I cannot see anything else.

[FuzzyDunlop]

I said ages ago "it will be someone shit like Jessie J"

& I fear it will

[Zoo Music Girl]

Agreed, bloody genius he is

[drewsstrat]

This thread is getting like Groundhog Day the film.... Same bands on every day

[dentalplan]

Sonny & Cher anyone?
