The Friday Night West Holts club thread

[BlackHole2006]

Basically,

I know I bored everyone with my obsessions with Chic and stuff and I know Glastonbury is a mile off BUT I thought I'd make this thread just so that we could discuss who should get the infamous Friday night West Holts stage slot.

Whoever it is, I will be there and will probably be more than merry but I thought it'd be fun to throw about a few names and clips of live performances etc.

Personally I'd like anything out of: Manu Chao, David Byrne, Earth Wind & Fire or Gogol Bordello.

I reckon none of those will probably happen but I can dream!

Have fun

disclaimer: I've had a few ciders so apologies for this thread, delete it if you think it's a waste of time, Niel.

This^,let's make it happen!

[mandolin]

If it happens, I'll be there too.

[BlackHole2006]

EARTH WIND & FIRE IT IS THEN.

[rikkirascal]

Surely every night (not just Friday) at West Holts is amazing? Every year, every headline artist, incredible.

[rikkirascal]

Adding to that... Would love to see A Tribe Called Quest, Dr John (again!), Mos Def, Cinematic Orchestra, Seun Kuti, Earth Wind and Fire, The Sun Ra Arkestra. Any of those to grace the stage in the future will be pretty epic for me.

[dub-tech]

Let's add Bonobo Live! into the mix

[Big Vern]

Earth wind and fire for sure. ELO too?

[Justiceforcedave]

ELO please! I'd miss pretty much any other headliner for a bit of Jeff Lynne + whoever else he wants to include in his band

[CaledonianGonzo]

Kobo Town are surely a must for next year.

[BlackHole2006]

ELO? Yes please. A bit of Jamirouquai would be a great shout if Jay Kay wasn't such a nob. Still good tunes though! Also, would love to see Phish on the bill one day, I can imagine it would be pretty cool standing their with brothers in hand whilst You Enjoy Myself washes over the crowd!

[rikkirascal]

Reminds me of this...

[TheNewUnion]

Jamiroquai would be great, agree though that Jay can be a bit of a tool. Earth Wind and Fire, ELO I'm on board with. Chaka Khan would be ace. Would Dave Matthews Band do it? Someone like Escort would be mint I think:

Escort

Fitz and the Tantrums and Eli Paperboy Reed too please.

The only night I missed there was the Saturday and Public enemy on the I player looked awesome but I'm sure you'd excuse me I had to see The Family Stone on the sonic,why they weren't on WH I don't know.

[Thearg]

I saw PE... Bloody terrific. Met a few of hem before the set too. I was going wild right down the front! How was Family Stone? I haven't heard any reports on this? And yeah you're right... Should well have been on West Holts!

[CaledonianGonzo]

Janelle Monae's got to come back. Well - depending on how her new album sounds.

Also: Toots & The Maytals (if he's sufficiently recuperated from the Hibbert cranium - airborne bottle incident).

[ghandi]

Bobby Womack was awesome on Sunday. I saw Kool and the gang in 2011:) . I had to give Chic a miss for Portishead, and i don't regret it as that was magical. I really want to see Earth Wind and fire or Shalama next year. Let's make it happen people.... and on a Sunday night please!

[jimmyt]

I'd be very happy with E,W+F but would also like J5, A Tribe Called Quest, An incarnation of the Marley Brothers, The Family Stone (gutted about missing them this year) or George Clinton and Parliament.

I'm sure there's loads more that would make me happy too but these came to mind very easily.
