Moving on to Wychwood 09

[bettyspaghetty]

Here's my wish list:

Rook and the Ravens on the main stage, just cos I'd like to see them again!

From years gone by I wish I hadn't missed Seth Lakeman and the Guillemots so if they came back for year 5 that would be good.

My random wishes include Vampire Weekend, The Script, David Gray, The Magic Numbers, Mike Peters, Cerys Matthews, The Thrills, Muse and Robert Plant obviously not all of them - that would be greedy!

Finally, The Pretenders as headliners ~ if enough us ask maybe this wish will come true!!

[AdverseCamber]

Please forgive my reviving a seemingly dead thread.......I'm new here! Here's a few I wouldn't mind for 2009:

Cage The Elephant

Newton F

Team Waterpolo

Santogold

Teddy Thompson

Martha W (acoustic?)

Ethiopiques

Noah And The Whale

The London Community Gospel Choir

LAURA MARLING

wicked ta!

[timespeedsup]

Welcome Adverse!

& that's a fine selection of things I know & things I know not. Stick!

[marooned]

....SIX PAGES of this wishfull garbage and we still have only 2 Positive Bookings - albeit the

much loved Kismet and Bellowhead.

Still no confirmation of the BIG TWO - how many times must I type Banco de Gaia and Kula Shaker

and hope my spelling's correct?

Imagine a play off of Govinda with the Turbanned Twins on one side and Crispian Mills on the other side, blowing their headgear off with the 'proper' version..........where's Harry Hill when you need him!

Actually, I just realised that Wychwood is the only one of my festivals to have confirmed ANYONE to date.

Ctrl/Alt/Delete.................sincere apologies to young 'Wychwood Office'

I'm sure they're doing what all festival organisers are doing at this time of year, talking to agents, trying to get artists to confirm availability, trying to get agents to accept fees can't keep rising faster than inflation etc.

It's always a bit of a jigsaw with many agents / artists wanting to assemble tours before they'll confirm your own one-off festival date.

And it's not helped when artists / agents don't seem to realise there's a difficult economic situation out there... if they keep demanding ever higher fees that impacts onto ever higher ticket prices and festival organisers are already well aware that their audiences can't and won't accept increases way above the inflation rate next year.

Wychwood always deliver a great line-up so have a little patience. Please!

[timespeedsup]

No worries. The line-up was fine this year therefore it will be fine next year. Regardless of who plays and regardless of when the likes of me are satiated by finding out who's booked.

[marooned]

choosing some other tupenny festival instead.....

------------------------------------------------------------

Sounds interesting - where's it held?

[theramm]

Another vote for Cage The Elephant. They'd be the band who will be getting big come Wychwood next year ala The Feeling & Duffy

We went to see Show of Hands a couple of days ago. The support was Ruarri Joseph. Seems to me he'd go down well at wychwood, plus he's got an album coming out early next summer.

[5co77ie]

Otis Gibbs - saw him yesterday he's terrific great banter and even better songs.

Oooh, just looked at his stuff on youtube. He's be brilliant at Wychwood. Pity he's not coming anywhere near Oxford on this tour.

Did you see him with Billy B?

[mr blue]

Good review, wish I'd been there

...no, I somehow think Mr.Seasick will STILL be doing our Festival Circuit next year, and The Culture Show, and Jools Holland, and Paul (autocue) O'Grady, and The Breakfast Show...and...and...and...

Ace bloke though, only ever saw him at EOTR, although he SEEMED to feature in every festival programme I read!

[5co77ie]

Can I add Fleet Foxes would be good

[marooned]

...yip, their new single is pretty damn good - even Radio 2 say so.......

[theramm]

Public Enemy to headline. Legends!

[eFestivals]

Public Enemy to headline. Legends!

where did you get that from? .... I don't believe that there's any truth to it.

The might well be an announcement this week of more acts.

[marooned]

...can't find any confirmation of it either. Is someone just 'rammbling' (aka bullshit!), or does he know something e-festivals don't.

Seems pretty 'un-wychwood' too - but, I'm prepared to be surprised..........

[eFestivals]

Someone is rambling. They know less than I do.
