i am a married male of 57 years old and although katie white has an unusual voice they were magnificent on stage live. jules plays the drums like no other. i think their music is refreshing. i watched their performance over and over on the BBCi . good luck to the future and bring them on.

There's only one word to describe The Ting Tings: Incredible. The set they performed at Glastonbury was nothing short of spectacular, and the crowd really seemed to get into it, however most in the crowd would have preferred to not hear their rendition of Traffic Light which seemed to go on for just a little bit too long, however I'm a fan of the song so it was all a part of the perfect gig for me. Katie White really is the lady of the moment, mesmering the crowd with her vocals and energy. I'm still getting goosebumps just thinking about it all again.

Having recently downloaded the album and played it lots, I was prepared for an amazing show at the John Peel stage. All the rain outside was forgotten and Ting Tings set the place alight. Being at the front, made the experience incredible. Even better than whats seen on screen. Their rise to fame has been proven by the biggest crowd EVER attending the John Peel Stage for the performance!
