The Friday Night West Holts club thread

I would have that Dione Warwick would be great in the oldies Pyramid slot with Burt Bacherak ( spelling)

[CaledonianGonzo]

Sod it - get Martha Reeves & The Vandellas as well.

Martha's gone a bit warbly of late, but it'd still be a good old knees up.

[CaledonianGonzo]

In fact. reading a review of the movie I note that most of the Tropicalia artists are still with us:

Groovy bread & circuses happening on the West Holts stage with Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Gal Costa, etc.

Would love to see Frankie Knuckles either at West Holts or at Spirit Of '71 across the road. Not sure which vibe would suit him best, the current stuff that he is spinning is off the chain.

Herbie Hancock would be incredible!

[HoTWire]

Janelle Monae return to West Holts please. One of the best acts in Glastonbury history.

Mos Def's owe West Holts a set.

Based on today, he's most assuredly 1) tough as old boots 2) welcome

I saw Alison Russell, thought she was really good, but i prefer her doing jazier numbers, seems a bit like Emile Sande with the new hair cut etc.

[5co77ie]

I'd like to add the request for Earth Wind and Fire

[5co77ie]

and Aretha Franklin for the Bobby Womack slot

Does anyone know if mandrill still tour? One of my favourites from the 70s!:

[Mr.Tease]

I'd also like the Meters too!

[CaledonianGonzo]

Or even The Neville Brothers. Though I'm sure I read somewhere that they've gone their separate ways.

[Thearg]

Some great suggestions on here, so i'll bung my twopeneth worth in

Roy Ayers

The Skatalites

Incognito

[Wooderson]

Id love to inhabit the wacky parallel universe where Aretha plays Glasters, but not the Pyramid.

[BlackHole2006]

Would love to see a bit of Skatalites on West Holts.
