Sunday afternoon legend slot?

[paulo1980]

Afternoon all! Long time lurker, first time thread starter. Nice board you have here by the way!!

Now i've got the intros and arse-kissing out of the way....

Just noticed that Roger McGuinn is playing a one-off gig in Bristol on Monday 29th June. Surely he'll be stopping by the farm on his way?? Is he a big enough name for the Sunday afternoon pyramid slot? I know I would love it! Or maybe a smaller stage?

That would be interesting. I love the Byrds, not familiar with his later work to be honest.

I WANT DOLLY PARTON

[IRISHMANC]

Think Tom Jones will go down well, if as rumoured its him

ideally i'd like Tina Turner-that would be jokes!

I WANT DOLLY PARTON

[tinkerb]

Hi everyone - another newbie!

Has to be:

Dolly Parton

Turner Turner

Tom Jones

[MJMilz14]

Tom Jones surely.

He's even said himself this week that he wants to do it.

[greeny81]

Looks like it will be TJ - but would've prefered a singer/songwriter 'legend' - guess Neil Young wil take care of that?

[popcornmaster]

Tom Jones

then

Madness

they would certainly get my arse to the pyramid stage

[TheSeventhOne]

I guess Nick Cave is a bit too cool for this slot?

[5co77ie]

Nick Cave an oldie? Surely not!

Can't we have someone new. I've given up on Clapton and Parton turning up. If it has to be solo stars then Dionne Warwick, Diana Ross, Simon (and/or Garfunkel), Gary 'U.S.' Bonds, or Aretha Franklin - someone really bleedin famous.

and is it always a solo artist? How about some old groups? Like The Faces, The Eagles, The Kinks, Fleetwood Mac, The Bee Gees, The Byrds, The Yardbirds, The Jackson 5, The Four Seasons, Blood Sweat And Tears, or even The Monkees? Or matey boy from SuperTramp is doing the acoustic Festival.

Re the Tom Jones thing, are we now gonna have news stories of every band who would like to play Glastonbury? That's a lot of column inches I reckon.

[Messy]

As I said in the Tom Jones thread, Tom Waits would be awesome.

[Ricochet]

I have no reason to believe he will play but Im hoping for Peter Gabriel.

Think hed fit that spot a treat.

[5co77ie]

Actually how about Elton John?

And surely Tony Bennet is due back before Tom jones?

[DaveMac]

I have no reason to believe he will play but Im hoping for Peter Gabriel.

[glastonbury-ex-newcomer]

I have said this before but i think that the great Jeff Beck could be a possibilty as he has a mini tour of the uk and is free on the sunday but it could be a bit of a trek from manchester to pilton.
