Apparently you will be able to hear doves on BBC Radio Manchester around 8:20am this morning (Wednesday). That’s from the PR guy at Man City, so they are most likely helping with the launch of the new kit. No live music, just talk, probably about the Live For City show.
Here are the track listings for Amazon.co.uk digital downloads for Winter Hill. To be released July 20th. These should also be available in North America.
Winter Hill Radio Mix
1. Winter Hill (Radio Mix)

The BBC have yet to broadcast Doves’ full set from this year’s Glastonbury festival, and it’s entirely possible that it may never be broadcast in full.
A programme of edited highlights (which has also been made available to UK viewers via the BBC’s website) was screened via interactive digital TV, early Saturday morning. It excludes a number of performances; some of which we will be able to upload over the next few days (namely ’10:03′, ‘The Outsiders’ and ‘Here It Comes’).

The video is an Xvid-encoded MPEG4 AVI file which should be standalone-compatible with most new DVD or AV players which are equipped to play DivX files.

doves spoke to the Guardian’s Alex Needham yesterday, before taking the stage. You can listen to the rather hilarious interview here.
To settle the argument. We have it that doves have played Glastonbury seven times, including last night. Here’s what we have:
1998: New Bands Tent
1999: The Other Stage Opened
2000: New Bands Tent Headline
2002: Pryamid Stage late Friday afternoon
2003: The Other Stage Headline Sunday Night
2005: Pryamid Stage Friday Night
2009: John Peel Stage Headline Friday Night
All of doves performances except 1998, were broadcast by the BBC. Including last night’s performance:
Thanks to gibbo1968, here are ten tracks as aired live on BBC Radio. Video will follow over the coming days.
Here is the NME report of doves triumphant performance on Glastonbury’s John Peel Stage.
Performing in front of a loud, enthuastic crowd, the trio immediately had the audience bouncing along with an uptempo intro including the likes of ‘Pounding’ and 10.03′, earning them a loud ovation after each song.
“Listen, no Manchester,” joked Jimi Goodwin with the crowd midway through the set after there were chants for the band’s home city. Instead the singer/bassist was intent on praising the festival: “Glastonbury! You’ve got to broaden your horizons lads.”
Later Goodwin toasted the crowd, declaring them “magic people!” before raising a drink to the other bands headlining the festival tonight. He then introduced ‘The Cedar Room’, declaring it got its “first play this stage [the then new band’s stage] in 1998!”
The band briefly left the stage afterwards, but returned for an encore featuring ‘Here It Comes’, ‘There Goes The Fear’ and – by their original incarnation Sub Sub – closer ‘Spaceface’.
The band then left the stage with giant images of John Peel projected onto their backdrop.
The Setlist:
Jetstream
Snowden
Winter Hill
Pounding
10.03
Words
The Greatest Denier
Kingdom Of Rust
Black And White Town
The Outsiders
The Cedar Room
Here It Comes
There Goes The Fear
Part of the set is already archived on the 6music website. Listen again to Lamacq’s Headline Set. Doves start 11 minutes in with Snowden just finishing. Winter Hill, Pounding & 10.03 can be heard in full.
Lots more to come over the weekend.
In an interview with BBC 6 Music, Jez has spoken about Michael Jackson’s untimely death yesterday.
Picking up on the sombre mood around Glastonbury Jez admitted that the news about Jackson’s death had shocked them all and revealed to 6 music how the Thriller singer would be remembered by the band:
“The Jackson 5 you know, incredible and unique with a dangerous groove, he had his groove on you know.”
He added: “he was a super talented guy, you cant take anything away from him – full stop really.”

The free concert at the city of Manchester stadium, will not take place inside the stadium, but in the East car park outside the stadium. Which is just as cool right? They wont ruin the grass on the pitch and all that. :)
Watch doves receive their free Umbro/City merch on the tour bus in NYC:
doves will tonight headline the John Peel Stage at Glastonbury. This will be doves seventh appearance at the festival. contactmusic.com caught up with Jez, who had this to say about playing Glastonbury tonight:
Jez Williams insists he will not be touching booze until after the big gig because he doesn’t want to spoil the moment with drunken behaviour or health issues.
He says, “In our twenties we just went for it. But the older you get, you realise you can’t drink like you used to. It’s a balance now.“We had a bit of a party in New York (recently) and due to that I lost my voice in Philadelphia. That taught me a lesson. We’re really looking forward to (playing at Glastonbury).”
But Williams was devastated to learn the band will take the stage at the same time as legendary musician Neil Young – meaning he will miss out on seeing his hero perform.He adds, “We’re all big Neil Young fans so when we heard we were up against him we were like, ‘Oh God, no!’ If we were playing before or after him we would definitely be checking him out.”
If you follow Man City, then this one is for you! Doves are to play a free show at the City of Manchester Stadium to 5000 fans, confirmed by Man City’s official website this morning.
