If there was any justice in the world at all, legendary Dexys frontman Kevin Rowland would be walking on during the coveted legends slot on The Pyramid Stage this weekend, as opposed appearing in front of the meagre (but appreciative) crowd that greet him on the far smaller Park Stage this afternoon.
Dexys were once one of Britain’s biggest bands, with a string of hits, multiple number ones and critical adoration from all corners of this country. That was a long time ago, though, and their status has clearly dropped. Much of this may have been down to the notoriously enigmatic Rowland, a man who has changed his bandmates more than he does his socks and has a habit of making moves that seem to deliberately diminish his commercial standing at every turn.
