Gary Louris & Mark Olson (Jayhawks)

I see on the Olson / Louris Myspace page they have confirmed themselves for Glastonbury.

For anybody who is not aware of them they were the main songwriters in the quite brilliant Jayhawks.

I saw them at The Union Chapel before Christmas and it really was quite beautiful. The album, Ready for the Flood is lovely. Am I gushing enough?

The live set before Christmas featured loads of classic Jayhawks stuff as well.

In April, 2009, Billboard reported that the Jayhawks have reunited. The band's mid-90s lineup will play two shows this summer: One at Barcelona's Primavera Sound Festival on May 30 and one at Minneapolis's Basilica Block Party on July 10. Band co-leader Gary Louris told Billboard that the reunion will be a part-time thing: "I think the plan is that we're going to play festivals. Next year, we're hoping to play Bonnaroo and things like that. We'll see if it grows from there."
