Pilton-Glastonbury Festival[UK] @ the Acoustic Tent 6.30.13

GREAT JOB, LWj! Thanks for keeping the faithful horde informed! 😀

Top effort with the research LWjetta, great to see that pic. As for this year’s festival it doesn’t look like the Beeb showed up for the Acoustic Stage…

(I’m guessing this link may not work for people outside the UK)

Looks like I got it mixed up about the Stones in my Liverpool post, they played on the Sat night not the Sun. Anyway I recorded the main BBC2 four hour highlights show for the Sunday and speed-watched in the early hours after getting back, there was absolutely nothing from Lucinda in it. 😥

Mr. Stoger, “Beeb”, to the Brits, is BBC. Translation, the BBC did not televise from the acoustic tent.

There is a lengthy article on Rolling Stone online about the festival but nary a word about Lu. Nary! 8)

apparently bbc do not film in the acoustic tent, so looks like lu’s performance has been lost to history.

I went over to catch some of Lucinda’s set on Sunday night at Glastonbury, we got there through “Drunken Angel”.
I am really new to her music but what a gift it has been to me in these last ten days, I read an article in my national newspaper in Scotland about her upcoming concert in Edinburgh on 24/06/2013, liked the interview and started listening with “Fancy Funeral”, immediately I recognised the voice from a duet she once did with Elvis Costello called “Theres a story in your voice” which I now understand was written for her.
I got some tickets and went along to the gig. I didn’t think that the set did her songs and voice a great deal of justice but I enjoyed the show tremendously. The grungy, minimalist style of set took a bit of getting used to from the warm production of her recordings.
Anyways,the part of the set I caught at Glastonbury was ok, not inspiring or inspired.

I am continuing to work through Lucinda’s back catalogue, I just listened to “If wishes were horses”….what a great song.
If you want to give me some pointers, that would be great

thanks for this, johnd. “Circles and X’s” from the same record is a good companion piece to “If Wishes,” but you are doing the right thing by working through the catalogue.

Anybody recognize “There’s a Story in Your Voice” song? Was it written by Costello?

Yes Mr. Stoger, it is on Elvis’ album The Delivery Man from 2004. Lu sings on it.

good heavens, how did I miss this in my Lu one-off collection? You the man, tony. And by the way, aren’t you the early riser type who would get up early and watch the Today Show LIVE???
