Ed Sheeran needs a stylist fast! Oh wait, my bad...tis the Hucknall!

Skid X · 27-06-2014 06:57PM

Whatever about his personality, there's nowt wrong with Mick Hucknell's voice. Fine singer.

Skid X · 27-06-2014 06:59PM

BBC Four have a generic Friday Night Music Documentaries trailer just out.

I like the way the voiceover man pointedly says "new documentaries". Was it something we said?

Welsh Megaman · 27-06-2014 07:07PM

Debbie Harry...I still would

Did you catch 'Sounds Of The 80's', amigo?

I personally feel a little cheated...I was too young to remember the early 80's ie. 'when all the good stuff was out', by the time I was old enough it was the Stock Aitken Waterman era

:mad:

I caught the end of it, lovely Tears for Fears/Kenny Everett intro there!

I remember most of the 80s ... there was a lot of excellent classic pop around then. It was a great era for songwriters, I think a lot of hits these days rely more heavily on production and backing tracks. Ah well.

First sighting of the Wolves flag this year... that flag is there more often than the Eavis's

There's an Irish flag too with a 'In Memory Of' on it...or is it an Ivory Coast flag? :pac:

I wonder do many deaf people go to Glasto ... and can they make it close enough to the stage so they can see the Sign Language Interpreters giving it socks?

It'd be a great gig if you were an interpreter ... definitely better than staying up until 3am to sign for Panorama on BBC1

Blondie have the best setlist of any act at the festival...so many classic songs.

Until Metallica tomorrow night

I think the company that the sign language people work for, stream the performances live on their website.

Now do 'Classical Gas'!

Tony Blackburn is in the doc about the history of the charts at 10pm.

But it's been a bad week for Tony. He was warned not to play any more Cliff Richard.

http://www.theguardian.com/media/2004/jun/23/radio.uknews

According to emails seen by MediaGuardian.co.uk, Blackburn was called into a meeting on Monday with the UBC head of programmes, Paul Baker, and warned not to play songs by Richard as it was against station policy.

An unrepentant Blackburn read out the email at around 8.20am this morning then tore it up live on air, threw it in the bin and played two Cliff Richard tracks back to back, thought to be We Don't Talk Any More and Living Doll.

Booo! Justice for Tony.

Well, Cliff has had a hit almost every year since the chart began - simply coincidence that he is always on 'Pick Of The Pops'

Welsh Megaman · 27-06-2014 08:46PM

Yawn...Elbow.

A singer who sounds like he is actually moaning into a microphone.

Just play 'that' song and be done!

Welsh Megaman · 27-06-2014 08:51PM

Good ole memories of Glasto...popping into random peoples tents and asking the occupant ''Is this the dance tent?''

Which they loved :pac:

Welsh Megaman · 27-06-2014 08:52PM

Zzzzzz...wha?

"Here's another new song" - a sentence you should never hear at a festival.

I was listening to POTP the other week, and this was Number One

The Crowd was a charity group formed specifically to produce a charity record for the Bradford City stadium fire, in which 56 people died on 11 May 1985. The group consisted of singers, actors, television personalities and others.

That's a Pointless Answer just waiting to be asked. Make it so, Richard (if you haven't already).

I bailed out when Simon Bates introduced it

How did half the singers need lyric sheets

There was a bizarre end to that (very worthy) campaign (according to Wikipedia)

Having decided to collect the money and donate it as a lump sum to the fire disaster fund, Marsden was shocked to discover that the appeal had been closed, and the organisers had told him that they didn't want the money. In the end, the money was donated instead to the burns research unit in Bradford.

Welsh Megaman · 27-06-2014 09:15PM

Here's Cliff!

Welsh Megaman · 27-06-2014 09:18PM

And here's Gambo! :eek:

it was a stunt to garner headlines - apparently Cliff was in on the joke - and btw it was 10 years ago.

Tony does pick of the pops on a Saturday afternoon on BBC Radio 2 and is well worth a listen.

Pop Charts Britannia is interesting even if its a repeat

Skid X · 27-06-2014 09:23PM

Even the lyrics to Nothing Has Been Proved (By Dusty Springfield, from the film 'Scandal') claimed

Please Please Me's number one

Another (in)famous chart fix (might feature later on)...Rod Stewart 'beating' 'God Save The Queen' by the Sex Pistols.

Welsh Megaman · 27-06-2014 09:28PM
