Surely if The Cambridge Club Festival can get Grace Jones, then Glastonbury can.

Nope cos the West Holts headline fee will be a fraction of what Cambridge Club is going to be paying her for a headline set.

Denise Van Outen in the discovery den what could that possibly mean? What kind of show would she perform?

She's doing DJ sets at festivals now. Don't blame her, probably really easy money.

I'm surprised that the novelty act mentioned above are still going (The Proclaimers). Still more for the Acoustic or Avalon. 

What makes them a novelty act?

They played the Pyramid 3 years back, so I dunno if I'd expect them to show again.

I've taken up a challenge from Florian Saucer Attack to only say good things about acts for the next week, so can't answer that.

Yeah she is not the first to cash in on her celebrity name like this

The UK Festival scene is full of such.

The lineup poster I am always waiting for is Love Supreme, seems like a reasonable amount of acts go on there the week after Glastonbury

Would you say that's a positive thing?

Dependent on the person.

For example Steve Davis (the ex snooker player) may be trading on his name, but as far as I know he's a proper DJ, so that's a positive. Several big name music stars e.g. Thom Yorke do DJ sets and presumably they do a decent job as they're skilled musicians. I've seen Thom DJ, can't remember a thing about the set, but I did spend an hour or so taking to him after, he's a strange fellow.

On the other side I'm highly suspicious of non-music background celebrities just putting on tunes, something any of us could do.

She managed to squeeze solo gigs during their US reunion tour run last time - she's a pretty hard worker!

Although I don't imagine Spice Girls will be at Glastonbury in 2023. 

After how packed Williams Green was for Melanie C's DJ set, hopefully she'll get a proper slot this year.

If you leave this anecdote about Holy Spirit Thom there, I'm campaigning to have your IP blocked

Better to be strange, than conventional and boring.

Most musicians worth their salt were far from normal.

Patiently waiting for better Lionel dates, they're on the opposite side of the UK to where I live and it's pissing me off!

Badly need a Cardiff or Wrexham show again

[4AssedMonkey]

Seen Lionel 3 times, but would definitely go again.  Such a party and a great front man.  Think he's done his one and out Glasto appearance though sadly.  Unless West Holts fancy having him headline?  That would be belting.
