Anyone have the free to air names for the BBC red button channels. I have BBC red button 1 but there are others just to know what they're called.

I see Madness are playing here at the minute.

Surely they're a bit out of touch with something like this(ages mainly 18-35) in 2016 and not a very lively act.

Ah I dunno...i'm not biggest Madness fan but i'm sure the 18-35 year olds can appreciate good older music too, plus Madness are still making fairly decent records now, Liberty of Norton Folgate was sublime. No Chas Smash though and looks like one or two others may be MIA too!

Underwhelming last night for my tastes. Most if the interesting stuff was at the little BBCs presenters set. That French girl with the dance moves was pretty intersting and I really enoyed the couple of songs by Reef.

I saw(but didn't catch) Half Moon Run were supposed to have played last night. Would love to catch some of their set. A band that can deliver live.

Only been there once but there were plenty of very much older punters there as well. The diversity was one of the many things I loved about it.

Watching "Floating Points " now live on iPlayer ..nice live future music great to see electronics mixed with brass and strings done right. Reminds me of 4hero

Watching Adele, had to turn her off. Too much chatting and she's after bringing a child up on stage and rambling to her.... Not for me

I actually am really enjoying her, she's very charming and funny

The crowd watching Madness was massive, appeared to be all ages and they looked like they were having a great time. Personally I thought they were brilliant.

Tame Impala set looked amazing

Wouldn't be into Adele's music at all just so far from my kind of thing, but this is actually the first time I've ever heard her speak. Common as muck accent swigging a mug of tae on stage , she's brill!!!!!!!

scruff monkey

It wasn't on any of the stages, but where they have the acoustic mini-stage by the BBC studio. Christine and the Queens played Tilted, which I think is a really great song, but the giveaway was when the presenters came over to chat to her straight afterwards and her microphone wasn't even switched on! I think she was probably miming when she played it on Jools Holland as well.

There's probably quite a lot of it goes on that we never even hear about.

I wondered at that last night alright, and the same when they had Grace on after. Disappointing if true.

New Order on the Other Stage! Sumner has put a bit of weight on.

Anesthetize

I watched some of New Order and got bored. They're just not the same without Peter Hook.

Loving it! Definitely no miming here anyway! Bernard's voice is a bit shakey.

I take it you've never been to Glastonbury?

It is definitely not mostly 18-35 year olds that go. Very wide range of ages that you'd not find at any other festival.

Adele back on. Struggling slightly with her vocals.

Maybe I'm getting too old but getting harder to find exciting performances

Mike Guide 69

New Order playing "Perfect Kiss", another classic!!!!

greasepalm

His voice has always been a bit dodgy live

Am in same boat basically. Got New Order on at the moment as best of a moderate choice. Did like the Alex Turner band that was on earlier, Last Shadow Puppets or some name like that, songs were okay to decent and a lot of energy in the performance.

Yes but thought it was especially crackly there earlier. Seemed to warm up after a bit though.
