Not a fan of his at all but tuned in for 5 mins because of this thread. The whole crowd is singing the tune....to a man the crowd look as if they are loving it.

Posters here a bit harsh on him I think.....I'm not familiar with his music but he's not bad and the crowd are loving it! Actually he's playing a blinder!

I'm generally indifferent to Ed. Think he has some good pop songs on the radio, just too over exposed. Wasn't too bothered about him getting the slot given his massive popularity - and at least he is a real musician and singer songwriter. Disappointed so far though - the sound is bad and it's all just too small for this stage. all the bouncing around doesn't help when it's completely reliant on his voice. It's not so bad when he stands still at the mic.

I don't know how he gets away with this one man band lark it's a farce. And the only musical instrument he plays is a tiny twangy guitar with no tone!! It boggles the mind!

Much more inventive than Kanye's farce from two years ago. I'm not a fan of Ed, but at least there's a live/creative element to his one-man performance.

Are you at the gig?

Metronomy just on John Peel Stage

Mushy · 25-06-2017 10:21PM

It's the lack of an oomph to it, it's not suiting the size of the occassion. It sounds weak! It could be 5 o clock on another stage and the crowd would be singing, nothing special to it.

Kanye was a low point alright. An embarrassment.

The farce that was "galway girl"

super_furry · 25-06-2017 10:23PM

Ed Sheran is a red headed Chris De Burgh, in 20 years everyone will just pretend they never liked him, and his daughter will be Miss World.

It's Irish music because he says the word Galway in it?

Charlie Haughy · 25-06-2017 10:24PM

Had a feeling all the cringey wannabee music snobs would come out of the woodwork tonight to slate Ed Sheeran.

Give it a rest guys, the guy is super talented and appeals to the masses. Deserves his headline slot and makes good music compared to the amount of dross nowadays in the charts.

He appeals to the 30 and unders.

So enough of your moaning and enjoy the show gramps

That's just because you watched radiohead and or the Foo Fighters and were expecting more of the same.

Take this on its own merits.

Jaysus, that's a bit OTT. You're making him out to be the musical equivalent of the black and tans.

Plenty of artists borrow trad melodies for songs, Springsteen's Segar Sessions has plenty of it for one example.

It's hardly like his entire set is based on ripping off trad.

Dr Crayfish · 25-06-2017 10:26PM

I'm not a music snob, I actually like Coldplay and have gone to see them. This guy is talen... oh God he's rapping again, make it stop...

Ha. You think that's Irish music because it has Galway in the lyrics?

You are taking the p1ss as usual I presume.
