I thought he was autistic at first, then decided he was trying to be too wacky.

Good for him then in light of the above.

last week, on friday night at the glastonbury 'music night', in pilton. it was a sort of 'best of the rest' thing from the emerging talent competition. i.e. 8 good bands that just missed the cut for the actual finals.. all the glastonbury bookers were there, and all the judges from the competition proper - eavises, huw stephens, q magazine editor etc...

anyway, gideon conn was on the bill as well, and he was amazing... real depth and versatility to everything he was doing. really interesting guitar playing and cool hip hop/folk stylings. it was funny though cos his band had forgotten their keyboards and a few amps so we had to lend some to them - you'd think for a gig as big as a glasto showcase you'd remember such things like that!

Very good indeed, including an entirely unexpected sudden leap into a surprised audience.
