CR77 Posted July 12 Report Share Posted July 12 Went along to see Red Hot Chilli Pipers at Acoustic Stage... got there as they were about to start and was surprised to see the tent absolutely rammed. Having not really heard of them, I joked to myself that maybe people thought they were the actual Peppers! Fast-forward a few hours and I'm in the Avalon Tent waiting for Lulu... got chatting to the lovely lady next to me who'd also seen and enjoyed RHCP... but admitted to me that she'd thought it was going to be the Peppers - LOL! Anyone else know of anyone who made this mistake?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEGATRONICMEATWAGON Posted July 13 Report Share Posted July 13 (edited) I didn't make that exact mistake as I wasn't at the festival, but as a very spaced out student in 2003, I went to my uni arts centre to watch what I thought was a cover band of Steely Dan. Turned out, Steeleye Span were just an original folk band. They were okay I guess, but gutted not to hear any covers of Reelin' in the Years etc. Edited July 13 by MEGATRONICMEATWAGON Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen them at Glasto a few times.😊 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Around My Hat, good song! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy0808 v5 Posted July 13 Report Share Posted July 13 My mum once admitted to me she nearly bought me tickets to the Pipers thinking it was the Peppers for a birthday around 13 years ago. That would’ve been a very awkward birthday meal following the fallout if she’d got them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrshire Chris Posted July 13 Report Share Posted July 13 Mate of ours was so pissed/high he thought he was watching Radiohead but he had taken a wrong turning and ended up seeing status quo playing an acoustic set. He thought it was a bit odd Radiohead had an accordion player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alvoram Posted July 13 Report Share Posted July 13 I heard they were good, others wanted to go see them, so went along. I expected them to be a cover band, perhaps playing RHCP songs on pipes... They were indeed good, all the better for the decent mix of music they played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn’t planned on seeing them, but was there for Josh Rouse before them. Then went outside for a couple of ales at the Cockmill and before you know it, I’d caught not only the chilli pipers but Stornaway as well! Typical Glasto afternoon then! 😁 Edited July 15 by Toilet Duck Typo! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
