Really like him. I thought last year was a pretty mediocre year for new music, but tha album is one of the redeeming features. Beautiful. Took me half a dozen listens but now it's right up there for me..

[glastofever]

I will have to give him a listen. I only heard of him the other day, im glad thereis still some interesting music breaking through.

Anybody got any links to vids e.g. youtube as I too haven't heard any of his music and want to hear what he's like? Have read reviews which seem positive.

I've got to say that much as I love the album, it seems a very solitary sort of thing, I can't imagine seeing him live, or with thousands of people there.

[Mardy]

yeah, I;'d heard that too. I'm really intrigued and reckon I will go and see him. Bit like Mark Eitzel/AMC I suppose. I never thought he'd be able to do it live, but is just amazing

[dacbo]

yeah he is great live. though when I saw him the audience were extremely receptive, I wonder what it'd be like in a field outside with everything else going on around.

not sure about a headline slot either, can see him playing high up but maybe not suited to headline...

[Hotcider]

Absolutely amazing at End of the Road last year

[pezzypops]

Derailing the thread, but

WWWWHHAAAATT?

[goodmorningspider]

usually when he plays live, he gets the audience to sing the 'what might have been lost' part of 'Wolves' as this big choir. it's pretty epic...can imagine it being amazing at the park! really hope the rumour's true

[Limpet]

Virtual festivals have confirmed him as headlining the Park stage one night. Straight from the horses mouth, or Emily as she's known by her friends. I too share my concerns as the bar over the way from the Park stage is far too noisy and could disrupt his intimate set.

I love efests.

Hadn't heard of Bon Iver until this thread appeared a mere four days ago - since then haven't stopped listening to the album <3 It's lovely.

Agreed. He was simply stunning.

Best album of last year also.

[GINGERWILDCAT]
