The Friday Night West Holts club thread

[Wooderson]

I'd love to see DSO at Glastonbury and I know for a fact that they'd love to do it. I went to see them in London a year or so ago and they were fab. Met up with Rob Koritz afterwards for a beer and the subject of Glastonbury came up.. he said they'd love to do it.

Not seen Cosmic Charlies at Glastonbury for a long time... would be nice to have them back in a small tent in the Green fields or something.

It's strange that there is a massive Jam Band scene in the states but nothing in the UK. Bands like the Disco Biscuits or Umphrey's Mcgee, to name a few, are totally unheard of here

[Peache Calhoon]

but to be honest any of them would do me fine.

Having downloaded the bootleg of the Marley Brothers from 2007 and grinned like a Cheshire cat all the way through it, I'm throwing my weight behind them for the Friday night, with solo sets from the boys beforehand.

Any chance that Wilco could re-schedule their Solid Sound bash to do a Glasto?

Ha! Mate all you need to do is grab a copy of Cornell '77 and then you're the coolest kid I know. Seriously.

Wilco need to re-schedule their two-bit festival and lay down a titanic 3hr LESSON at Glasters next year.

People - like me - who missed The Orb and the Kakatsitsi Drummers when they played West Holts will be chuffed - again, like me - to see that they're playing the Edinburgh Mela in a few weeks time for the princely sum of £4:

This so needs to happen Earth, Wind and Fire please need to be headlining West Holts in 2014

[badger80]

How letting Craig Charles take over the stage for the whole day with the Funk and Soul show but with live performances from his favourite artists eg Maceo Parker, Alice Russell, Haggis Horns etc with Craig playing tracks between each set ... with a headline slot from Roy Ayers!

West Holts is one of the fields I find really hard to place once everything is down actually which is a bit sad.

Is it just me? but when I look at that pic and look at the grass and how its worn in places and dug up in others, I get a real sense of a "distant echo" of a party that once was............

Oh, oh............heres those voices again!

[CaledonianGonzo]

Time for whoever's booking next year's line-up to get on the dog & bone to Réunion:
