Saturday at Glastonbury: Self Esteem and AJ Tracey perform – live! (The Guardian)

The festival enters its second day with Paul McCartney headlining, plus sets from Noel Gallagher, Megan Thee Stallion, Skunk Anansie, Olivia Rodrigo and ...

“The first Zambian band to perform at the Sydney Opera House … and the first Zambian band ever to perform at Glastonbury!” I’ve just flicked over to Self Esteem on the iPlayer and can confirm that the outfit is quite something. “I want to see you back out in the crowd soon,” she says. The suns out, bums are twirling and the geezers in the crowd – one of the most diverse of the festival so far – are pulling their smoothest moves. And once again: that OUTFIT. Candidate for best lewk of the fest, for sure. There’s one where bassist Cameron Picton takes centre stage, acoustic guitar in hand, to sing a rollicking country number that sounds a bit like the Maccabees off their rockers. She is an elegant, waist-winding breath of fresh air and surely a huge star in the making. They’ve grown since 2017 from trio into five-man skronk-off, a sound rooted in free jazz but which flips genre more quickly than you say “sprechgesang” (the slurring sing-speak so beloved by bands like Dry Cleaning and Midi’s Gen-Z Mark R Smith vocalist, Geordie Greep). And while she might get lumped in with Afrobeats, her style is far broader, pulling in jazz, rock and even a bit of gospel amid the syncopated beat and trill of highlife guitars. But now, she says, “I’m back.” No backing tracks here - she brings with her a slick full live band, who pack a punch and plump out her tales of heartache and empowerment, and performs in a figure-hugging red outfit and matching red eyeshadow. To celebrate Paul McCartney’s 80th birthday last week, Shane from Clapton tells our Kate Hutchinson that he would take him to “NYC Downlow, I’d get him a pink moustache on the door and show him a good time. You can see why Adele is a fan: Tems’s delivery is similarly from the gut, her style strong yet refined.

Fans woke up at the crack of dawn to ensure they could be in the front row when the star plays.

It was a blast, and the audience seemed to love it. "Paul won the day for me," festival founder Michael Eavis said after the concert. It was like, 'Yeah man! "It'll be worth it." Sir Paul later told Clash magazine: "It was a good night for us. Ahead of the final track, The End, the star said: "OK so there does come a time when we've got to go and it coincides with the time you've got to go.

She told The Express in 2007: “Yes, I read what Paul had to say about the Welsh and I’m going to pull him up on it the next time I speak to him". Dilys said at the time that "when [Paul] calls, he pokes fun at [her] Welsh accent but [she gives] him back, reminding him of his working class roots”. especially my Auntie Dilys”.

Sir Paul McCartney headlined the Pyramid Stage on Saturday night. The Beatles icon paid tribute to fellow bandmember John Lennon and music icon Jimi ...

He told the crowd: "Good evening, Frome. Why am I getting a feeling we are going to have some fun? They are both the very best of the best.” "What I realise now is it was a family, a gang. Families argue and have disputes. "The only way I was given to get us out of that was to do what I did." He added: "The only way for me to save The Beatles and Apple was to sue the band. A source close to Macca said: “It seems only right that Sir Paul should acknowledge the incredible fact both are playing the same weekend. "He was in the middle of his tribute to Jimi Hendrix when he stopped to check on someone in the crowd." "I suppose when The Beatles broke up perhaps there was a misconception we all sort of hated each other,” he said to British GQ in 2020. Sir Paul was very much in his element as he talked to the crowd and began his performance. A source told the Mirror: "The crowd were going wild for Paul as soon as he stepped on stage. The musician - who briefly paused his gig to check on a festival-goer - looked dapper in a navy button-up top as he arrived on stage on Saturday night.
