the divine comedy please. Had a good old singalong to a compilation of theirs on the way home, and would love to see them there.

Sufjan also, although maybe he's too big now? Hope not. Maybe just a heap of the Asthmatic Kitty bands would be good.

10 that haven't been mentioned but would be awesome for 2010...

- Anais Mitchell

- Justin Glanville

- The Veils

- Damien Dempsey

- The Weepies

- Sweet Billy Pilgrim

- Hayden

- She & Him

- Jon Redfern

- Kyte

[Elfy]

- Sweet Billy Pilgrim

[Swindlebiscuit]

I'd be happy with a fair few mentioned already, but here's a few other "vaguely achievable" names:

Fiery Furnaces

The Black Keys

Belle & Sebastian

Jim O'Rourke

Joanna Newsom

Kings of Convenience

Lucinda Williams

The Magnetic Fields

Modest Mouse

Rachel Unthank and the Winterset

Sparklehorse

Steven Malkmus

[DragKnuckles]

Kings of Convenience

[fogged]

So many good suggestions! Every post makes me more excited for another year of it...

Final Fantasy

The Divine Comedy

Beirut

M Ward

Panda Bear/AC

The National

Midlake

The Unthanks

Wooden Shjips

Super Furry Animals

Of course Sufjan, Wilco, Portishead or a reformed Neutral Milk Hotel would be incredible, but no bigger band would be worth expanding the festival - it's the perfect size as it is.

[Yuffie]

Kings of Convenience would be amazing!!!

[shoebox]

I don't know whether any of you saw the list of bands they approached for this year but were unable to get. Most of the names mentioned here were in the list. Although disappointing, it's promising to know that Sofia and Simon know what we punters would like. Only concern is that the reason for not getting these bands is due to cost.

Thee More Shallows for next year though. I said it this year and I'll say it again for next.

[sadwitch]

I don't have a list. I trust them. I think they could have slotted in a few more up beat bands on the bill as they have done in previous years but I don't have any complaints on the music front.

[spooky]

Without wishing to be a grouch or anything, but please can something be done about chairs and picnic blankets, and possibly even dare I say it prams?

[sadwitch]

picnic blankets are fine imho, after all, the occupants are no taller than other folks sitting and if it starts getting busy they can be stood on, but the chairs are a pita. i've never found prams to be in my way.

[MattL80]

Mark Lanegan

Old Crow Medicine Show

Elliot Brood

Two fingers of firewater

The Sadies

Micah P. Hinson

Wilco

Neil Young*

*In the tipi tent.

[spooky]

plus - have you tried sitting on the wire mesh at the front of the stage? damn i wished i had a picnic blanket then.

[sadwitch]

I never want things not to be nice by any means! I guess I just like people to show due consideration for others - so for those that have to walk through the valley of ankles/crocs/boxes of Weston's are allowed some free passage and aren't given short shrift if they step on someone's anniversary present from the Edinburgh Wool Mill! Still, it's far more polite than the real world I guess

[powermonkey]

Hmmm.... who to recommend....:

- The Waifs (I believe they might be 'on hiatus' at the mo but might well not be by then)

- David Ford

- Frank Turner

- Stagecoach

- June Madrona

- Two Cow Garage

- Dexy & The Hand Me Downs*

*(These are some mates of mine, but trust me when I say they're really damn good, it's not just me bigging 'em up)

[bullybass]

Nick Cave (with or without Bad Seeds)

Leonard Cohen (Ok I know there is no chance but the King of Comedy has got to be worth wishing for)

The Fall - 3pm Sunday Afternoon, just for the kids Ha!

Howe Gelb (Giant Sand)

Lots more great people I've never heard of before! Love the adventure.

[Elfy]

Neil Young*

[Elfy]

More seriously........ a few more additions.......

The Weakerthans

Yeasayer

Ben Folds (now, if he did a secret set at the piano stage........ )

Duke Special

.....and for a really fun end to one evening, Hobo Jones and the Junkyard Dogs, in the Local

[perfectpassion]

I think that I stood on someone on sunday night.... Its just that I have limited nightime vision due to eye problems and its really really difficult to get around without standing on something/one. I am not sure how anyone could expect it to be otherwise. Im not sure if the floor in the dark at a gig is the best place to put your kids/granny/best picnic blanket
