Just received a call from Emma with a query about who is to headline the Pet Sounds stage on Sunday at T in the Park.  Rumours were speculating around the site that it could be someone big disguised under a fake alias. Not having the internet to hand, Emma needed me to have a look.

The band in question are “Eddie & the Robbers”.  But exactly who are they? Eddie Grant? Eddie Stobart? Eddie Jordan?  Don’t be ridiculous… no wait, it is Eddie Jordan, the famous and rather rich Formula 1 boss.

He has is own band. He plays the drums in them, and they are called V10. Eddie & the Robbers are a cut down band who are touring some festivals this summer.

So why are they headlining? Are they any good?  Probably not.  Is it part of a massive cover up for some sort of massive band? Doubtful. Is there some sort of sponsorship deal involving lots of money?  Who could possibly say.

But in other T in the Park news, the weather is looking quite good at the moment, despite what my post yesterday said.  Wish I was there now (if only to find out more about Eddie & the Robbers).
