The Glasto marks out of ten thread.

Wall to wall coverage, so in the immortal words of the great Roy Walker: say what you see.

Seasick Steve, not really my cuppa & I don't go in for the skint hobo schtick but in fairness he's good at it - 7/10.

[CatJ]

Just watch it on BBC Three, god knows how many Beeb channel's it's on.

Edited to say I'm watching Dizzee Rascal.

Am watching Seasick Steve also, quite enjoying it to be honest.....might check out some of his other stuff.

Another 8 out of 10 here. An honest performance.

[CatJ]

I'd shoot the presenters on BBC Three.

[Gun]

Also watching Seasick Steve, good for a bit of foot tapping, 8/10 for me.

Looking forward to Portishead later on, if I can get the BBC Glastonbury website to work properly that is...

[widebloke]

Also watching Seasick Steve, his bass player is quite good..........

[CatJ]

Does the BBC coverage come to an end soon? Doesn't look to be going on beyond 10.30 from what I can see.

JPJ looks more like Tony Blair with each passing year.

Chic on BBC4 at 11pm. Looking forward to that. Nile Rodgers is fierce.

[Sprouts]

Just put bbc2 on to see a bit of this. Too many flags and folk having fun. And much too much Lauren Laverne

[fatboy69]

BBC2 coverage is from 11pm until 2am, BBC3 finishes at 10.30pm - to show fking Eastenders........ whilst BBC4 coverage goes on until 12.20am.

Bugger is that Chic & The Arctic Monkeys are on at the same time so guess ill record Chic & watch the Monkeys.

Does anyone know what time the Stones are due on stage tomorrow night & which channel will be showing the performance as I'm a work until stupid o'clock on Sunday morning so need to record the Stones.

Only problem is that I can't find out which channel is showing them.

They're on from 9.30, not sure on the channel, they're only showing an hour of their set as well.

Did I just miss John Newman?

[Justin Cyder]

Palma Violets smashing it. 9/10

It was Jonesy, wasn't it? I realised eventually!

[HaplessBoyLard]

Not keen on the Arctic Monkey's new style. I preferred them when they were spotty, long haired, slightly shy teenagers.

Alex being all confident with the crowd like this isn't really doing it for me. It doesn't fit with the music.

[Legacywr]

They are just over-hyped any way! Shirley?

[phil-sti]

There great.

I've always liked the music, but appreciate its not to everyone's tastes.

Alex turner just looks like a mini Joey Barton, and despite trying to interact with the crowd it's not really coming off IMO. It doesn't seem natural.

[Justin Cyder]

I'd go with that. They're a musical force like them or not, an original band with a unique British, no, northern twist, but this version of Alex Turner is almost an Elvis parody.

No like.
