Unannounced acts

[Wiggum]

Anybody know of any? I take it this happens most years? The one I know about is pretty exciting and has made me yet more excited.

[Risteardo]

1. No I don't

2. That's got me more excited

3. There's no WAY you can dangle that out there and not INSTANTLY divulge

Come on Wiggum, coyness has no place on this 'board

Yeah, I'm being a big tease, aren't I? I'm useless at secrets anyway.

It's Laura Marling! Can't divulge the source but yea, great news. Not heard most of the new stuff live yet.

[SweepingTheNation]

Um... what? Where? I don't think the surprise acts have been all that big before, and mostly people who were hanging around anyway (Emmy The Great a couple of years ago, some of the Wilkommen Collective last year)

Well, I was hoping that Jarvis Cocker and Richard Hawley doing nothing but spin a few discs MIGHT develop into something more acceptable........

Yeah, some Longpigs songs would be nice too but that's well hopeful. As for Laura Marling, not sure when/where but you heard it here first!

an unannouced hold steady acoustic set with franz on accordion would be amazing, but probably too much to ask for

Not quite the same, but isn't Franz doing a solo set in the Tipi after THS set on Sun? Read that somewhere on here......

Just to show I'm not making it up.......

Surely once someone mentions them they become announced? Or am I being picky? (Form an orderly queue...)

Earlier in the year it seemed as if Babel were going to be at EOTR, but nothing came of it. Maybe they'll still turn up and busk somewhere

Here's my theory. Bob lind is playing. On all back to mine cd series Jarvis played Cool Summer by Mr Lind. I reckon Mr Lind will have some special guests playing with him.

That's my theory.

Ok guys and gals I think I can top all mentioned before this.

I bumped into Euros Childs at an un-disclosed pub in Cardiff this evening, just prior to the Wales vs Russia game.

I mentioned to him how much I liked his and Norman's set at Greenman and that I would be celebrating my 40th birthday at EOTR this weekend.

He told me that he had been called up at the last minute to play at EOTR as someone had cancelled and that he'd heard great things about it.

I asked where and when he was playing but he was a bit unsure. All he knew was that he was booked for Friday at 7.30 but didn't know where.

According to the billing list I have this would fit in with him replacing Twi the Humble Feather on The Local Stage.

I asked him to give me a shout out for my birthday, if he does give me a big hurrah!

Mmmm...would have definitely topped everything if it had not already been officially announced about 10 hours before your post...to replace The Mummers!

[DragKnuckles]

Yeah...sorry...no malice intended...just got excited when I read the first part! Sorry Heddwch

Tis a shame, thought I had a scoop there!

Having worked a nine hour day and then rushed for the train without first checking for any updates on t'inernet I have been found out to be an old fool.

The shame.

Surprised that Euros said "he has heard great things". He played in 2007 and he was excellent. Mind you he did cock up one song - maybe that explains his forgetfulness !

[fogged]

I saw Mumford & Sons wandering around a lot but no Marling with them... did anyone see her?
