We were nominated for the Mercury Award for ‘Parachutes’. Among the other nominees were Richard Ashcroft, Doves, Leftfield, and Badly Drawn Boy who eventually won it.
It was our first awards ceremony and we had to play in front of all the other bands without Jonny who was ill. Musicians make for a very tough audience, especially drunk musicians.
The Pilton Fete is Michael & Emily Eavis’ thankyou to the village for letting millions of people trample all over at Glastonbury time.
Jay-Z is playing Glastonbury this year [2008] and I think that’s the best idea since Radiohead in 1997.
Anyway, we played the fete and we were not too shit.
