Fresh from appearances at The Acoustic Festival of Great Britain and Glastonbury, he will be bringing his one-man show to the venue.

"I always said I'm never going to pay to go to Glastonbury 'til I'm on the bill and I finally made it – I wasn't going to go as a civilian," he explains.

"It was great, every gig is a different thing."

"I do a one-man electric rock and roll stadium show."

Pole briefly joined the Sex Pistols in 1978 after the departure of Johnny Rotten.

Despite only spending a short period with the band which included a handful of rehearsals, he still produced some memorable moments with them – including appearing in the The Great Rock & Roll Swindle, singing on the title track, Who Killed Bambi, and a version of Bill Haley's Rock Around The Clock.

Following the demise of the band he went onto front his own band, Tenpole Tudor.

The band produced a series of UK chart hits during the early 1980s and two albums, Eddie, Old Bob, Dick And Gary and Let the Four Winds Blow.
Pole has since ditched his band mates, preferring to tour as a solo artist.

"I've got this unique style of playing, which is impossible to imagine really – it isn't any introspective Bob Dylan stuff.

"I get the PA man to give it a lot of bottom end, so the bottom end strings sound like a bass guitar and it goes through the entire sonic spectrum.

"I was on the radio recently with Steve Jones (Sex Pistols guitarist) and we were talking about how much we hate punk, it's become such a cliché – neither the Sex Pistols or I play it.

"I play rock and roll, I was brought up with the Rolling Stones and Chuck Berry, it's a great show for all the family."

Pole is also known for his appearances as presenter on Channel 4's The Crystal Maze.

He took over presenting the show in the mid 1990s from Richard O'Brien.

He also stared in the second Harry Potter film.

Pole now tours across the country as a solo artist and regularly plays gigs with The Sex Pistols Experience.

"I'm working to find a way to record what I do," he explains. "I was born to play."
