Mark Ronson joins The Zutons onstage at Glastonbury

The Zutons were joined onstage by Mark Ronson performed on Glastonbury's Other Stage tonight (June 29).

The super-producer played guitar on 'Valerie', the song which he made famous when his Amy Winehouse-fronted version was a massive hit in 2007.

In a nod to the cover, the band's frontman Dave McCabe said: "Does anyone know Amy Winehouse?"

The crowd responded with a cheer and McCabe replied: "And guesting on this song, the person who actually made this song what it is, Mark Ronson."

Ronson then came on stage, wearing a grey suit and hat, to play guitar on the song.

When the song finished and Ronson exiting the stage McCabe said to the cheering throng: "Let's hear it for Mark Ronson - he's already done his gig he didn't need to do that", referring to his earlier Other Stage performance.

A few tracks in McCabe dedicated a track to fellow Glastonbury performers The Raconteurs, saying: "Anyone see The Raconteurs yesterday? Our drummer fancies Jack White, so this is for him."
