LIVE REVIEW - TEENAGE FANCLUB AT GLASTONBURY

From Norman's brilliant voice to Jerry's guitar licks and Brendon's hair, Teenage Fan Club are the best indie band around.

Taking the crowd by storm with hits like Goody Goody Gumdrops and Hang On, the Fanclub smashed Belly's precedent.

Everyone sang along to the hits and went wild with the intro to Metal Baby.

Owning all their albums and singles and having been to most of their concerts, I still think this was their best yet.

Even if they weren't headlining the show, they might as well have been.

All things come to an end though, but what an end it was. The brilliant Free Again blasted out the speakers to create havoc in the audience.

Cazeln, Glastonbury's finest

ALBUM REVIEW - JAMIROQUOI, EMERGENCY ON PLANET EARTH

These guys really know how to groove a kid to the soul. They've got class and unlike so many pop groups today they've got a message.

Jay's lyrics are excellent, his vocals are the best I've ever heard and this album works really well. Songs like Too Young Too Die, Emergency On Planet Earth and Blow Your Mind touch you.

Maybe Jay's right - maybe we have only got 10 years.

Lemon Candie, Heaven.
