get my mate Guy on the Pyramid with my other mate mike just below him 

Just planning a trip to that London to see them in May 😁

The farm and Billy Bragg played in pilton for Michael's birthday. So if they've not been offered a festival slot in return I'll be hugely surprised. I doubt a booking fee was paid for those shows.

 Better add Billy Bragg to the rumours!!!!!

I just tweeted to The Farm “Does that mean we’ll see you on the farm next year?” And they have liked my tweet. Other stage opener or Avalon stage?

[Neil]

so secret they had huge posters printed. 😛 

[pilton digger]

Not a secret, tickets were openly sold. The Farm were last night, Billy Bragg is tonight. 

It is a combined birthday and 20th anniversery of the Working Mens Club. Even got cups printed.

It might take an other stage slot to boost his profile. Or he and his label might not care about Europe. 

Pretty sure some were saying he's likely to do Euro shows in 2024, though I would say maybe own headline shows if he was to come to the UK rather than necessarily going straight in at a big festival slot, given that while Bad Bunny is a huge US star, UK market isn't quite there yet. But hey. I could be wrong.

Not sure where he would go after 3rd down Pyramid.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Wouldn't be the most exciting option but he could chip up on West Holts again. Will have been 11 years 

[Mardy]

Just seen the Nile Rogers Margate date. Need to have a ponder. Last experience at Dreamland was so bad (The Streets), not sure I can face it again.

I must be an oddity as I'm happier to hear the solo stuff. He's got a decent solo catalogue now and his latest LP is the best yet. Hoping he's with us on the farm next year.

Thats cool. Just not as big on the solo bits. A healthy mix would do the trick.

When I saw Gaz play Glasters last it wasnt a patch on when I saw Supergrass play Glasters last.

I've seen both versions and while I definitely prefer Supergrass, I can totally see why he would want to stick to his solo stuff. If he's just going to play Alright at every gig he might as well not go solo...

Sure - i get that. Just think a balance would be good is all.

[Gnomicide]

I was at a Craig Finn solo show once, thoroughly enjoying it just being his solo stuff and knowing that no Hold Steady stuff was on the cards.

He started talking about it towards the end of the gig and said "I'm often asked why I don't play any Hold Steady stuff on my solo shows. Well, it just doesn't seem right without any other members of the band here. Anyway, here's Tad Kubler..."

For the many of you who don't know, Tad is The Hold Steady's guitarist, and they promptly played 4 or 5 HS tunes while the place went nuts.

I guess what this shows is that while we all pretend to appreciate the solo stuff, what we really want is at least a couple of the big singalong tunes that got us to hear the singer/guitarist/whoever it is in the first place.

Yes, that's a sweeping statement but I can't think of any solo performer from a big act that's I've not appreciated dragging out at least one of the hits.

I've seen Gaz solo a good few times now and apart from this year hes always dropped in a Supergrass tune or two. 2nd to last time I saw him it felt a bit unnecessary when he did Caught by the Fuzz. This year he didnt do any Supergrass and it made for a much better setlist. His "old" or "classic" tunes he played were his early solo tunes. Detroit, Matador, English Ruse etc. Worked great. Maybe helped that Supergrass were around pre and post covid. 

Wings didnt play any Beatles tunes really. Different thing going on.

[Wooderson]

"Caught by the Fuzz" was the best thing for me at his Williams Green show a few years back. His best solo work is "interesting", but bring out a few chewns.
