Those cheeky popsters who rocked up at my 50th with a beanie hat present from their own merch range and expected me to parade around wearing it like I was their personified billboard, yeah them, the fantabulous Talk in Code, well, right, haven’t seen them since, say they’ve been busy on the festival scene, when all of a sudden without a drop of notice, tell me they’re travelling to Pilton this Saturday, 17th June, and we all know what happens there!
Turns out Swindon’s toppermost indie-pop band are playing in the first heat of the Glastonbury Pilton Party competition to audition to win a coveted slot at the Glastonbury Pilton Party, held on the Worthy Farm site, home of the world-famous Glastonbury Festival; show offs!
This Glastonbury Pilton Party is held in early September, and previous headliners have included Liam Gallagher, Elbow, Fatboy Slim and Bastille. Talk In Code have been chosen from hundreds of hopefuls to audition, and I say, while it’s a bit warm for a beanie, thank you so much for my hat, and, oh yeah, also for playing an absolute blinder at the Three Crowns, I feel honoured and it will be a day if I hadn’t have overindulged in Thatcher’s Hazes I will never forget.
But all this aside, as I cannot be bought by showering me with gifts, in my book, Talk in Code would remain the best band in Swindon even if they dunked me in a bath of hot & sour piranhas in just my mankini till I cried like a baby, so I wanted to wish them all the very best of luck, and I hope you will join me in wishing them all the very best of luck, bloody good luck to them!
It’s all going down at Pilton Club, a stones throw from the Glastonbury Festival Site on Saturday 17th June. Tickets to come and support Swindon’s best indie pop band are available from HERE.
Talk In Code are thrilled to be flying the flag for Swindon at this prestigious event, and I know they’ll knock ’em for six, and if not I want an inquiry as to why not. If you can’t make this, I get that, bit short notice, you should have a listen to Talk in Code, who have amassed over 400,000 streams and been added to over 700 Spotify playlists, HERE.
