I've just come back from the Travis gig at the UEA Norwich which they announced just this week as a warm up for the Isle Of Wight festival as Moz pulled out. Towards the end of their set, they said that they received a call on Friday to say Morrissey had pulled out of the IOW festival and were asked to headline (at which point Fran the lead singer done a very amusing impersonation of Morrissey talking to him on the phone). He then said they were going to do a cover of a Morrissey song there, and wanted to test it out. They then played the opening drum beats to Everyday Is Like Sunday and performed what was an extremely good cover of the song.
After the gig I spoke to Dougie, the guitarist and told him how good it was. He sounded relieved to receive some good feedback and told me how they were not sure whether to do it or not, and I told them they should definitely play it on Saturday because it was great. He smiled and said thanks he was pleased I enjoyed it. So I'd say its 95% certain they will do a cover of it again on Sunday. I know its no consolation if you only bought the ticket to see Moz but its better than nothing and like is said is a fantastic cover.
