    New ones on me, but not totally unimpressed let's say. I quite like First Aid Kit too, they were on earlier but I haven't seen any of their set yet. Set yet, haha.

    Setty yetty. Settee yettee. Yet settee. The yet settee. The Yeti Set - Band name!

    One band I really don't rate and cannot understand the fuss about them is Mumford & Sons.

    Oh I agree. But most bands would give their right arm to be called a poor man's Arcade Fire. Now, if only they were headlining tonight

    The Editors are ok too. Leave me completely cold, but at least demonstrate some ability and commitment to what they do.

    Jessie Ware though, arsehole. In it for all the wrong reasons. Daughter of a Sony exec at a guess.

    An old record of mine has just surfaced on youtube. A charming little pop song, not the greatest recording though....
