Reggae - UB40

Funk/Disco - Billy Ocean with a fabulous backing band.

ahem, UB40, reggae? More like pop with a reggae tinge.

Probably not reggae in the pure sense like eg Jah Woosh, but UB40 are listed under the genre of reggae.

I only caught a couple of acts - Ed Sheehan I thought was excellent - the look of delight on the faces of the audience was quite infectious - to the extent I used a bit of I'm in Love with the Shape of You in a song at my gig later - so stuck in my head was the chord sequence - damn, how can he wrote such catchy songs!!! 

Saw Rita Ora and a bit of Taylor Swift - Rita Ora's outfit a bit puzzling but that's probably my age. Music ok though. 

And then Liam Gallagher - what more can you say - vocals a bit off key at times but there you go - typical post 1996 Oasis-like stuff. 

BBC to be commended imho for such a feast of live music even if some were using quite a lot of backing tracks.
