Not new music but whatever happened to Doves?? A cracking back catalogue and some good "recent" stuff but never seem to be on at festivals. I remember seeing them supporting Oasis at the Ethiad and they were brilliant. I would say an ideal band for KC on a sunny saturday afternoon/evening.

The lead singer Jimi Goodwin is doing solo stuff right now and from what i remember reading he's supposed to be supporting elbow on their upcoming tour.

The Doves headlined in 2010, wasn't there for it but sure it would have been good

[Emandjay]

I was there in 2010 and enjoyed the Doves.A great band and much better than bands they get compared to like Elbow and Coldplay (In my view). They just lack the charisma.

Doves have been on a break since 2010. jimi is supporting Elbow as well as doing a solo tour in May. I still think he may appear at KC but as one of the main stage openers. I hope so anyway as I have him in my top 20 predictions.

Few videos of Jimi playing York Duchess on YouTube, lobs a few Doves tracks into his set, would be a great addition.

In a similar vein, saw John Bramwell from I Am Kloot solo a few weeks ago and he was brilliant. That would be cracking in a tent.

[sloaney007]

Suppose he could play a similar slot and set as Johnny marr last year, plenty of doves stuff plus a bit of his new. Think that'd go down a storm, not that I'm saying he's as good as Johnny marr! I always preferred doves stuff to elbow too but wonder if elbow headline he would sub?

[sloaney007]

Went to watch Disclosure last week and thought they were really good, nice chilled out dance. I would love to see them at KC but they seem to be in a stange phase of their career where they aren't big enough to headline but they seem to be too big to do anything else. Obviously the teens would love to see them as I was about the oldest guy there (I'm 30 btw) but I dont think they have enough mainstream material to keep the older ones attention. Any thoughts?

Might not be a bad shout. Just checked and he is playing festivals the weekend before Kendal and the weekend after.

Don't think he'd sub though. Maybe 4th on the bill? (3rd at a push?).

I saw him last Friday in Leeds on this tour.....he's a workaholic....his encore was only 2 songs as by the end of the second song the stage was completely full of punters who'd climbed over the barriers....he loved it!!

[Comfy Bean]

Surprised / disappointed that the Vigo Thieves haven`t been announced yet as think they would be perfect for an afternoon slot or in Calling out. My predictions really are shit. Anyway once more for luck. Looking forward to seeing them next weekend.

Could see these in Calling out......

Saw these last night. No album yet but great gig. Played for an hour and would go down a treat in Calling out.

Think Prides could do a job in Calling out.

[Comfy Bean]

Just thought I`d post this as i heard it on the tranny today and I like it. Plus, it is in no way related to buying or selling tickets

Not sure if Jimi Goodwin fits into the new music category but I guess he has only just released his first solo album so I'm going for it.

Saw him last Friday 23 May in Birmingham. Only a few hundred there but it was a great evening. Jimi and his band looked like they were really enjoying themselves as did the audience. I was only planning to see him if he clashed with Example but plan to see him whichever night he is on now. One of the best gigs I've been to for ages. But then I do prefer smaller more intimate venues rather than stadium gigs.

Jake Evans, (who is also in Jimi's band and used to be in Bad Lieutenant), was the support act and was also very good. Would be a welcome addition to the KC line up.
