The other set I really enjoyed from Glastonbury 2025 was Raye. From first hearing her, and especially the very wonderful Tiny Desk set in April 2023, https://youtu.be/DL1zyUjzwno (that brass section are phenomenal) I've much enjoyed what she does.

The Glasto set was much more polished, all bells and whistles, but Raye's sincerity and honesty (about her life's troubles) (that's sounds gloomy, she's not) have lifted her music to make it more than the just jazzy rhythm and blues. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m002f220/glastonbury-raye
Still to explore Caribou's set, but some other sets I checked out were.... a bit predictable and boring. (Of course I missed Bob Vylan, a duo I've listened to a bit in the past).
I've just finished reading Tracy Thorn's biography of Lindy Morrison (drummer and original member of the Go-Betweens, who were never a duo!!). I had a couple of their albums back in their day. It brought me back to listening to Tracy's own work, especially the wonderful Distant Shore, and Everything But The Girl's (Tracy and Ben Watt) excellent Walking Wounded. These two albums still stand up today, well worth a listen if you don't know them, and a re-listen if you do.
This links well to Misbehaviour, which we watched recently.
Listening to Bill Callahan, Tiny Desk from 2009; I have tickets to see him live shortly.
Here's a link to the Tiny Desk - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHVNUrcyJy8
