Terry Coldwell from 90s chav band East 17 has claimed that they felt loved again after playing Glasto this summer.
Coldwell said that their slot in the Dance Tent on the Friday night of the festival was like the boyband’s “early days”.
“I don’t use the word amazing a lot, but it was amazing. It felt like the early days of the ’90s. When we went on stage, I got a rush from head to toe,” Coldwell told DigitalSpy. “There was 10,000 in the tent and it was spilling outside with people.
“It was weird because we got there late, we missed our original slot and everyone told us when we arrived, ‘All the fans are dying to see you!’ I associated Glasto with rock music, so to have all these people wanting to see us was absolutely wicked. In England we get a bit of a tough time. But just for that one day to be loved in England, it felt brilliant.”
The “singer” also revealed that he is planning to launch a solo career.
“I have a little studio at home and I’ve taught myself how to play and record all my music, so I’m at the stage now where I think, ‘These songs are actually good’,” he said.
“I’ve been on stage for 17 years, but now I’m at the stage where I think I could put some bits out there. People have always seen me as the guy in the background, but I would now like for me people to know I’m something other than a dancer. It’s taken me 17 years to write music and I would like people to see a different side to me now – I think it will shock people.”
