Is his mum?

Another Mum (a Glasto-going Mum in late 60s I might add) reports in:

My mum who is 74 lives in Spain.

Every Monday her local does a pub Quiz.

I hope they get Stormzy in the picture round ?

I've given it a go on Instagram. We know he posts there

Obviously because today has been today I am out of upvotes, but this is so good....but I'm super glad you didn't post one where they thought he was Banksy!!!!

My contribution. Not a bad effort by a 65 yr old.

Beautiful work here today everybody.... I wish my mum was still with us, im pretty confident she would have gone the Banksy route.!

fatyeti24, i think your question from one of the other threads (below) has been well and truly answered...

I love that this week's litmus test for headline eligibility is whether our mums have heard of them. 

Why would anybody ask their mum about contemporary music?

It certainly has. Thanks everyone.

Stormzy confirmed most uncool rapper in the world.

[Boris]

My mum has barely any idea of 'computers' so I'm not gonna try that. I asked if she'd heard of Stormzy and she said. 'yes dear'. Make of that what you will 

[K2SO]

I think I'd be quite disappointed with Stormzy to be honest. I don't feel as if one album (maybe 2 by the time it happens) is really enough to headline Glastonbury. I know a few bands have done it in the past, but I feel like Stormzy is a bit of a naff choice at this stage.

Oh boy. Comment box, click to choose files, browse until you find it. Then attach it.

Get @Phoenix Girl's mum to help you out, she's clearly more savvy than you are

Give her a real test, come on.

My Mum was right.

“I think he is very well known but not universally popular”

 

[Harmonic Prospector]

Wonderful work today people. Spent an hour catching up with it all and loved every minute of it. My mum will be getting a text in the morning. 

My Dad has been gone 5 years and would have been 71 now. Being an ex music industry type having worked for various record labels between 1973-1986 he was always quite switched on and open to hearing new stuff. I'd regularly get late night drunken messages from him when he was tanked up watching Jools and other music programmes either waxing lyrical about his love for a particular new act that was on, or bemoaning the 'Token Womad Act'. However, Rap was his consistent blind spot and was always universally derided. Had I text him tonight I I'm sure I would have received a confirmation that he knew Stormzy, followed by a barrage of messages about how shit rap music is and seething at the thought of a rap artist headlining Glasto. 

 

[Gucci Piggy]

Can't offer owt on the mum-response theme but my mate offered up the classic "one album" line in the middle of moaning about it not being Lady Gaga. Was considering texting my dad but if he has heard of him I'd probably just get some embarrassing casually-racist reply that I wouldn't want to share on here so no point.

Don’t think my mum knows who Stormzy is lads.

I did read this. I was so entertained and a little bit overwhelmed on my commute into work. It should be published. Well played.

Just dropping in to say that man old dear, bless her, thought that Alex and the lads were called the 'Aztec Monkeys'.
