Florence Welch has an affinity with Glastonbury. Long before she was crowned the BBC's Sound of 2009, or the Brit Awards rising star, Welch was playing Glastonbury with Florence and the Machine – if any British festival suits her slightly otherworldly Renaissance aesthetic, it is Worthy Farm's.

For the last 18 months -- last year's Glasto included -- Florence and the Machine have been taking their debut album 'Lungs' around the world, with Welch earning a reputation as one of the UK's most transfixing frontwomen.

So how does she repay the crowd during her early evening Other Stage slot on Friday? Well, with a cover. One which she vowed would be just for Glastonbury.

"This is pretty much my favourite song of all time," she told the crowd. "All my heroes are in this band and I thought they were going to be here but they're not."

She added, "We're never going to play it again. We hope you enjoy it Glastonbury, this one's just for you." The band then broke into Fleetwood Mac's 'The Chain,' a track from their 1977 mega-seller 'Rumours.' The huge whoops that greeted the song's trademark bass-led instrumental break were no accident -- this part of the song has been used in BBC promos for their Formula One coverage. Any petrol heads enjoying Welch's impressive live performance will have been given an extra opportunity to cheer, just this once.

STEVIE NICKS Concert Ticket Prices - Santa Barbara

Concert Ticket Prices - Santa Barbara Edhat: "By Edhat Subscriber

Stevie Nicks at the SB Bowl - concert is August 4 - tickets on sale this Sat at 11 am.

Thing is, 'sticker price' is $128 (for the best seats)! For a Wed nite too. Holy moly that's high. ALL other concerts announced so far are lower. Steve Miller with Los Lobos is a Sat night and they are $80. Willie Nelson on a Thurs nite is $83. (Comparable seats.)

I love Stevie, glad I saw her at the Bowl a few years ago, because I'm not sure I'm willing to spend $150 on one ticket this year (after taxes and fees).

My advise to this poster would be not to buy the best seats! There are cheaper seats available.... Ticketmaster is offering a price range beginning at $39.00 (plus fees of course).

Stevie Nicks Headlines the Santa Barbara Bowl

The Santa Barbara Independent Summer Arts Preview: Pop, Rock, and Jazz: "The ladies continue to rule the scene come August, when singer, songwriter, and all-around icon Stevie Nicks headlines the Santa Barbara Bowl on Wednesday, August 4. It’s rumored the Fleetwood Mac frontwoman is currently working on new material, but we have no doubt she’ll deliver on the classics. (“Dreams,” anyone?)"

LISSIE MAURUS - THE "NEW" STEVIE NICKS...

Lissie Maurus featured here in Classic Rock Magazines Summer 2010 issue has the distinction of being referred to as the "NEW" Stevie Nicks. Not such a bad comparison if you ask me. Personally, I'm not really hearing it... What I do hear is an interesting and unique voice and singing style from which the comparisons to Stevie are surely drawn from.  I really like her music, she's got some killer live videos on youtube that you should check out... She's no doubt a talented girl that possesses a lovely rich soulful voice, but she's no Stevie Nicks - she's herself... Hit the image for the full article.

You can check out some of her tunes on Myspace, or Facebook, or Youtube.
