“That would be the coolest thing. And Stevie Wonder’s always been my hero. I recently got in touch with him, so that was really cool.
“He says he’s got a record, so I hope I get this opportunity with Stevie one day.”
Teddy is working on the follow-up to his 2023 debut album I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1).
If he can get Stevie and our Adele on it too, it’ll be one hell of a record.

Luckily, it went without a hitch – while storm damage delayed the sister event in Leeds, where Dasha is due to perform today.
I know how horrible it is to be at a festival in horrendous weather, so I hope today is bright and less breezy.
