Apparently a full scale replica in literally every detail other than it will have enough lifeboats is about to be built and will sail from Ocean Village (this is the Echo who havent looked at whether Ocean Village's dock is big enough to get it in given all the yachts in there) or thereabouts in 2027.
If it happens it should put Southampton on the World stage
News that one of our former players will not be returning to St Mary's this summer has emerged after Genoa sign Albert Gronbaek on loan with an obligation to buy clause
1. Half Man Half Biscuit, one of the countries greatest institutions and lyricists fronting the mighty HMHB would be worth twice the admission price alone.
2. Cracker, American alternative band born out of Camper Van Beethoven, I think a cracker is a biscuit so they are in.
3. A great headliner for the Sunday legends spot would the a supergroup with the members of Kid Creole & The Coconuts & the Eric Clapton supergroup Cream. They could call themselves the Coconut Creams
This weekend and I have just looked at the line ups on the main stages.
1. The 1975, are they really that big they can headline the pyramid stage on Friday night.
2. Neil Young is a massive headliner on the Saturday, but Raye as second on the bill, the whole day doesnt give me much hope.
3. How is Rod Stewart that low down on the Sunday bill, i know its the legends spot but there is no one above that would fill the Brook let alone Glastonbury, Olivia Rodrigo has only had two albums FFS, Noah Kahan 1 big albim released 3 years ago again never heard of him.
The Other stage seems to be a little better, but Charli XcX & The Prodigy hardly Glasto headliners,.
All in all yet another step to Glastonbury being a middle class type gathering, not a rock festival anymore
Rangers & Galatasaray interested in loaning him it seems, I can't see either, Rangers don't have the money as of yet, it seems the new owners are only putting £20 million into the transfer kitty and Galatasaray like most Turkish clubs it seems will just haggle and never pay the market value
I never saw A Flock Of Seagulls as a politically motivated band, or for that matter ahead of their time, but it seems they were, the lyrics are very relevant today.
Am i just getting old, but it seems to be trying to steal Glastonbury's modern day reputation as a festival for the middle class family's and middle age and above punters.
Headliners Sting, Stereophonics, Justin Timberlake, all acts with 30 years or more in the spotlight.
The supporting cast isn't much better, given the lack of big bands coming through in the last 20 years or so, I would say the days of the big festivals are numbered.
