Green Man	I am not talking about a mobile phone footage but the BBC could have done something for The Searchers. It's not hard. It wouldn't even have to be on the mainstream channel but via the iplayer. I have never rated Rod Stewart, not even The Faces. Even Joe Meek couldn't stand Rod's voice. He was just lucky to meet John Long Baldry at the train station.
robbiex	It wouldn't be acceptable for the bbc to show footage from handheld cameras on a mainstream channel, like the clip you showed. Apparently there are 107 stages at Glastonbury, they can't have full camera set-ups on all of them. The Searchers should have been on the second stage at least. Talking of old white straight men. I think Rod Stewart couldn't optimise that category anymore, despite his fondness for wearing make-up in the 70s.
Green Man	So, with all the millions the BBC has, they couldn't hire some staff to hold a few handheld cameras and a few mics?
Green Man	I agree about the Hollies. Another Night is a beautiful album from their 1970s era. I have no idea why they didn't put The Searchers on the main stage. If people moaned or tutted then tough. You can't please everyone but The Searchers are legends. Bad move BBC.
JK2006	Yes for me two of the most UNDER rated 60s bands were The Hollies and The Searchers. Both terrific - especially harmonies, influenced by the Everlys but British and unique.
