24/06/2016 The One Show

Tonight we are live from the biggest music festival of the year, and

everybody's on it. They keep asking us what the weather forecast is

going to be. I have the answer. A 100% chance of Coldplay, Adele. 100%

chance of ELA, and Earth, Wind and Fire. But 100% chance of rain.

BOOING.. Hello and welcome to The One Show at

Glastonbury 2016 with Alex Jones... Tonight we will bring you one

of the most unlikely as six-time snooker champion Steve

Davis is on the decks. We'll be with the legendary

bearded rockers, ZZ Top, as they prepare for their big

Glastonbury moment on the Pyramid Stage, and the incredible

Jake Bugg will be performing live right

here at the end of the show. And Matt Allwright are be bringing

this monster alive at the end of the show. Greg, this is The One Show's

fourth time at Glastonbury... Congratulations. Thank you. It's

amazing they've let us in! But our guests tonight have beaten us hands

down. Between them they've racked up about 22 visits Norman cook and Jess

Glynne, welcome to The One Show at Glastonbury!

CHEERING. 22 between you. What's the split here? How many have you had,

Norman? Let's say 22. Norman, let's talk you back to 1986, your first

Glastonbury. 30 years ago tomorrow. How different it was Glastonbury

then to the one we are experiencing tonight? The genre was the same. The

weather was equally changeable. The basics of it are the same. Is that

because you had such a good time 30 years ago you can't remember? I

remember the years in between. Fair enough. Jess, how is the Pyramid

Stage today? Like the most surreal experience I've had in my life. I

have never seen so many people. It must be for a musician the height of

your career. I swear to God I literally feel like that. It CEDCYAN

I swear to God I literally feel like that. It was one of those - I can't

even talk about it. I walked out on stage... Yeah. It will take a few

days to sink in. Florence said last year, I can't do interviews

afterwards. I don't know how to explain it. Before we went on, I was

genuinely going to throw it. That's the truth, and I didn't. And we got

to it and it was like, go, go, go. I walked out and stood on the stage

and opened my eyes. I couldn't open my eyes for a minute, because I was

scared. I was genuinely just like... This is happening. Honestly, do you

know, it's one of those feelings that you can never describe. And in

your career, I guess I've had a lot of amazing moments that I can't even

tell you how they feel, but standing on that stage, at Glastonbury, it's

the high point of anyone's life to even go to. But to be performing on

that stage... We watched you and we loved it. It was a shame you didn't

throw up, because it would have made a great clip.

LAUGHTER. Let's talk about Saturday night. The Pyramid Stage headliner

tomorrow night will be Adele. Everybody is supersited about her

set, and these three fans are particularly excited. We could have

had it all... Rolling In The Deep. You had my heart inside of your

head. And you played it to the beat. My name is Nigel and Adele used to

work for me. She was between recording her first and second

albums, 19 and 21, and she wanted somewhere cool to hang out. She had

no airs or graces. She had already sold at least 1 million records but

she was like anyone else. When Adele came in to discuss which days she

would do, she decided on Thursday. She said, I want start next week,

I'm playing the Hollywood Bowl. Our customers are so cool they didn't

say anything. Nobody said anything. They wanted to be treated like a

customer and she treated them like a customer. She loved listening to

anything new. New. She had an interest in new records but loved

listening to old soul records. She had to do some filing, and she was

very accurate. One week she won Employee of the Week she was that

good. My name is Noel and I'm Adele's driving instructor. Adele is

a fantastic driver, probably the best learner I have known for some

time. I only knew after she passed her test that she was famous. She

passed first time. Me and Adele would have a competition in the car.

She would sing and I would sing. She would sing these wonderful songs, I

had never heard of them before. I am more of a status quo fan myself. And

we are about to do a duet at Glastonbury! I could have had it

all, rolling in the deep. Eat your heart out, Adele! To get somebody at

such a high level, internationally known, coming to you to learn how to

drive because she believe you are the best at what you do, that's a

very humbling experience. Never mind I'll find someone like you... I wish

nothing but the best for you, too... Emily is on the autistic spectrum

and has ADHD. Emily is 13 and sings all day long. Emily heard Adele was

appearing at Manchester. I love Adele. I had a dream on stage and I

was singing. I love her so much. I went to her concert and I thought, I

would show her. Thought maybe if we are lucky Adele would see the song,

and as it turned out... She didn't just wave! There was a definite

hush, as people thought, what's going to happen now with this

literal girl. She started singing and within seconds the crowd went

crazy. I was so incredibly proud for her and incredibly pleased for her

to have that once in a lifetime moment. I don't think Adele really

knows what she has done. She's completely changed my life.

Incredible stuff. Jess, let's talk about Adele a little bit. She's the

headline tomorrow night. She's one of your peers right? It must be an

inspiring thing to see her bossing the Main Stage, the Pyramid Stage.

It's a really proud moment for any female from the UK to see Adele

bossing the stage at Glastonbury. I'm a massive fan. Do you know why

Adele is brilliant as a headliner? Because you know all the words. I

like going to see somebody I can sing along to. Do you share that,

Greg? You sing along, have a little cry with everyone. That's it. Like

Adele, you've had a huge 12 months, Jess. Five number one singles.

You've ss. Five number one singles. You've sold 1.7 million albums -

something ridiculous. This time last year Jess had to turn down

Glastonbury, because you didn't have a voice at all. I had to cancel

pretty much the whole summer. But it's all good. It was such a

horrible experience to go through. It was most scary thing. My album

hadn't even come out. I was like... Yeah. I had it and it actually

taught me a lot about myself and about how to go forward in my

career. I'm sitting here now and I've just played the Pyramid Stage.

I'm more grateful. Everything happens for a reason in my life. Of

course. Norman, under Fatboy Slim you played Glastonbury many times.

But the first time was with the The Housemartins. When was that? 1986..

What did you enjoy most, Fatboy Slim or being in The Housemartins? I

started on the Pyramid Stage and worked my way down.

LAUGHTER It is really nerve-racking being on the Pyramid Stage. I like

being embedded for three or four days. At Glastonbury Tor I did six

shows over four days. That's really good fun, because you get to see all

the other little places. I like having to get embedded and embrace

the whole Glastonbury experience. And you are such a veteran now that

you can ask, can I play on so and so stage and they give in apparently? I

have played every single stage over the years except for the John Peel

stage. It is not the right stage for me to do, but I said, please, just

let me play so I can play the whole of Glastonbury. So thank you Emily,

Nick and Michael Eavis for indulging me. Norman you are pioneers of big

dance acts playing to 200,000 people. Why do you think dance music

works so well on that scale? And in a sweaty club as well. Why does your

music particularly work? It is kind of a similar nonsense that we are

trying to create. It is just that feeling of collective euphoria,

whether it is everyone singing Adele's words and the flags on the

Main Stage, or the collective euphoria with the DJ and everyone

dancing to the same rhythm. It is intoxicating. And to be somewhere

beautiful and surreal and weird, possibly muddy, that intensifies the

experience. We all become as one. It has become the norm that DJs will

headline festivals, the likes of Calvin Harris and Swedish House

Mafia. Do they say thank you, because without you they wouldn't be

doing this stuff? A lot of people make me proud for the role I've

played of taking DJ culture out of the side tent and on to the Main

Stages. When I first started here there wasn't a dance tent. And then

there was a bigger dance tents, and now a whole field. It's been

wonderful to watch the scene grow and for DJs to be welcome here.

What's the song that you put on that encouraged a massive crowd to come

out and you thought, I didn't see that coming. I had a real moment

with Love Is In The Air. There is something about the atmosphere here,

you can play tunes that you wouldn't normally play, and everybody gets

involved. Every DJ has the emergency song they put on when it has all

gone wrong. What is yours? Come on, Eileen? Born Slippy. Not one of your

own? Modesty forbids me. There might be some pro fanty in the records I

made. One of the things we always talk about is when the legends are

added to the line-up. These may be a clue as to some of the legends

playing this year. Get it? It is a look. But only ZZ Top can really

pull it off. Matt Allwright went to meet his heroes.

In 1969 the world was a very different place. Of course, we still

had The Beatles. Adele was a mere twinkle in her mother's eye, and if

you said you like Coldplay, it meant going outside without your tank top

on. Some things don't change though, because there's a band which over

the last 47 years has had exactly the same line-up... Exactly the same

approach to its music... And the same awesome way of expressing

itself through facial hair. Give me all your lovin', all your hugs and

kisses too. Z top have sold over 50 million albums worldwide but it

wasn't until 1984 that they first performed live here in the UK. I

like Z St Top that much I've broken me foot. Now one of the greatest

rock bands is going to play the greatest festival. Billy, it is

amazing to have you here. Glastonbury, how does it feel, are

you ready? I'm way into meeting with you. The guy was commenting on

perennially it is known for being the rainiest week. Yep. In

preparation I went and got a proper set of wellies. Correct, they are

wellies, not gumboots. I have to look back 47 years. How do you keep

that thing going? We finally figured out how to read each other's minds.

But the real secret is, we are never quite sure. Do you think there's a

degree of telepathy between you? Yes, it has become that. Does that

extends outside of performing? Yes, but the fact that we are so simple

minded, it is not a big deal. You step out on to the stage at

Glastonbury, for you is it another gig, or is it special? Special?

Maybe you don't see it as something special. We've known about

Glastonbury for some time. When we drove, in you could see the

campfires on the hillside. As far as you could see, in every direction,

there were tents, caravans. We knew we had arrived.

I have to talk about beards. When did the beard start? Was that '69 or

was that some time after? Well, there was a bit of scruffiness along

the way, but it didn't get serious until '76, when we closed the book

on touring and recording. There is a whole generation of young British

men now who have grown beards not unlike yours. Can you give them any

tips or advice to keep them looking as magnificent as yours? Well, be

mindful that a beard goes where you go. Don't get too close to the fan.

And mind the doors. Don't let it get caught! It's been an honour meeting

you. As he said, a massive honour. It was

the best day of Matt Allwright's life! The boys have finished playing

on the Pyramid Stage. Let's do a little tour of the stages. You are

the expert! No pressure! That is the Pyramid Stage. That is the Main

Stage, the headliners will be there, Muse tonight, Adele tomorrow. If we

move to Other Stage, that is the headlines of the future. Disclosure

are on later. That is where your future headliners will be. Now we

will go inside. We heard Norman talking about the John Peel Tent.

Jack Garratt is there. Then the BBC Introducing Stage, that is where the

brand-new artists are. They are the headliners... That is where Jake

Bugg started? Yes. Then we have the West Holt Stage and the Park Stage,

which is behind us over here. A more alternative stage. A warning for

anybody coming up here - sit very slippery. We had such a laugh

watching people fall down the bank earlier on - we shouldn't say that!

I had a moment before we went on air because Daughter were playing. All

good. We need your help. We have been doing this for four years. We

ask our guests to help us create a fantasy festival line up. Mark

Ronson picked The White Stripes. Ed Sheeran picked Joni Mitchell. We

want you to pick anybody, dead or alive. If they are dead, they will

come back to life! I will pick Amy Winehouse. We have Amy. They will

redo this. That is neat. Go on? I'll have Prince in. I want Prince! It is

lucky I'm not a school teacher! Most of my school teachers, it's fine. Is

that alright? Yes. Very good additions. There is no question that

we have the number one DJ with us, Norman. However... However, there is

a challenger in town and things are about to get interesting. Very

interesting. Steve Davis is regarded as one of the greatest snooker

players of all time, winning the World Championship on six occasions.

What's more interesting than that was his revelation on The One Show

sofa. What is your big announcement? Well, Glastonbury. Steve's gone from

cueing balls on the table to cueing records on the turntables. Watch out

Glastonbury. Here it is, the venue where Steve will be DJing. I have

been doing a local radio show for some ten years. All of a sudden, we

have been hired for different festivals around the world - well,

Glastonbury. In the set today we are playing stuff that most people have

never heard of. A lot of people DJing have been mixing records one

into the other, a bit of scratching and things we don't understand. We

will pick a record and we will press "play". My interaction with the

audience is the same way as I interacted with my snooker audience.

The programme said the music was avant garde - they are not wrong. He

is so good. I always preferred Dennis Taylor to be honest with you!

Is there anything this man can't do? That was surreal. People came for

the novelty aspect. People were bumping along. They enjoyed it. We

enjoyed it as well. You know there is a World DJing Championships? It

is time to enter, perhaps. It's nailed on I will be zero times World

DJ Champion. He is having the time of his life. Unbelievable. What did

you make of it? I think he's better at DJing than I am at snooker. Do

you not think you should take up snooker now? Anyone can be a DJ. I

respect him for the fact that he loves his music. He is not jumping

on any bandwagons. He is a real music lover. Fair enough. Steve is

not the only unusual Glastonbury booking. We will ask you to cast

your minds back, true or false, did these people play at Glastonbury?

First. Sir Bruce Forsyth? The Price Is Right. False. But he should.

False. It is true. He played in 2013. Told a few gags. My parents

love him. Next one. David Hasselhoff? No way. Not yet. Not

yet. Correct, he has not played. Next one. The Wombles? Yes. You

saying yes? Yes. They were the first gig I went to. Why isn't there a

band out at the moment that dress like that? Why? That is a good

question. The booking was a mistake in 2011. They did. What about these?

Jedward. We would have remembered it if they had. No. False. Correct, it

is false. They have never played. While we have two minutes, remind us

of your tour. Oh my God. I'm doing a big tour in the autumn, the arenas.

Dates? I can't remember the exact dates! I will say November 18th,

there is October - it starts in November through to December. Can

you believe that? Sorry. You need to be more clued up! I know when my

tour is. I can't believe it is happening. Let's go to another part

of the Festival. Arcadia. Norman, you have played this. This is a big

structure and Matt got to know it very well. I'm in the belly of the

beast. A giant mechanical spider, which I have found out is, in fact,

female and I'm here with one of the directors, Bert Cole. Tell us the

story of the show that people will see tonight. The show is

Metamorphosis. The spider abducts some humans and finds out a bit

about them and it goes through a programme of change and some evolve

into great jellyfish creatures with light coming out of them and the

thing culminates in a celebratory finale. People are here to dance?

Absolutely. We have a line-up of DJs ready for the weekend. How do you

start to put something like this together? What is it made of? It is

made from over 90% recycled materials. We are standing on a jet

engine turbine, which is the DJ booth, the eyes are reverse thrust

units from jet engines, there's old helicopters, the main legs are

Customs and Excise scanning machines. It looks like it is thrown

together. To be successful and safe, that can't be the case? Absolutely.

Safety is the paramount thing with us. We have to work with structural

engineers, gas experts, all these different people come to make sure

that it works and it is safe. What happens when it finishes here? That

is a good question. This goes into containers. It will go on an

international tour so we are going to Korea, Taiwan, Australia, amongst

other places. It will probably come back next year. Anything new for

this year? Yes, there's something new. There is a big red button over

there. No-one has pushed it yet? Not yet. Can I? How dangerous can it be?

I don't think I will do that again! Back to the studio. You were saying

that is really wobbly? It is terrifying. It is like being a

rickety tin can. It is scary. Yes. Definitely. We are about to hear the

first live performance on BBC Two from Glastonbury. Who better to kick

us off than Jake Bugg. Welcome. How are you? I'm OK. How are you? Good.

You had a big night last night. How was the gig in Nottingham? Nice to

go back. Heavy night. You are happy about today and everything and you

will play for us shortly? I am looking forward to - I will try and

play for you! It is cool to be here. You love performing. That is part of

your thing. Festivals aren't your favourite thing. That is what people

are saying... You enjoyingit? It is alright. The sun has come out now.

Thank you very much. Off you pop. We should say a quick thank you to our

guests, Jess Glynne, Norman Cook and Greg. Thank you. Now, with his new

single, Livin' Up Country, it is Jake Bugg. Enjoy the weekend. See

you later. # For now we're

living in the country # I only went down,

my ship had already sailed # It was going well

I thought at first # Found my lucky pardon,

I was saved # Couldn't get out,

I found no check in the mail # It was going well

but then went stale # I couldn't get by,

lucky to live to tell the tale # I'd probably get

some rest at least # Never have to look

out for the man. #
