West Holts

Doesnt look like David Byrne or St Vincent will be at Glastonbury this year (http://www.factmag.com/2015/01/21/david-byrne-pairs-kelis-st-vincent-and-dev-hynes-with-high-school-color-guards/

whoops just seen above post

[Wooderson]

St Vincent no loss. Annie has charisma but no tunes.

http://www.herbiehancock.com/#tour.phpGlastonbury would be a nice way for Herbie and Chick to start off their tour of Europe don't you think, they have a week to dawdle over to Paris.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Yeah - this has been brought up before and I'm pretty hopeful that our man at the Holts is on the case.

[The Nal]

Make it so!

[Wooderson]

Think Herb usually finishes his sets with Rockit and then Chameleon. Electro.

[OBface]

Ahhh Herbie would be a perfect addition for me! Starting to think that Glastonbury will be a clashing minefield this year and no real acts announced yet...

[Jakkkkobz]

Also, just seen that Chaka Khan has just been announced for 3 nights at Ronnie's on 6th,7th and 9th of July.

[Memory Man]

ooooh. that Could work!

Oh Earth Wind and Fire, Hebbie Hancock and Chaka Khan all in the same weekend is a thing dreams are made off!

Damian Marley bringing Sunday to a hot sweaty delirious climax?

This would surely kill two birds with one stone :

Brassroots are superb, have seen them a few times at various festies and street events.

I appreciate that's probably just a ragtag jam in the backroom of a pub and has probably been recorded on a phone, but finding that quite painful, actually.

These dudes drafted in Toots Hibbert for their reggae Radiohead:

[Fingerbobs]

Dylan Howe is out there playing Subterranean live. Would be quite the awsome treat hearing some of Bowie's best instrumental output booming out across West Holts.

Apparently Glasto's doing some sort of "cultural exchange" with this Mexican festival:

Don't know what that would mean for us, but guess it could lead to some Mexican acts playing (didn't we get a few last time - the Wookies etc?).

Did some digging. More here:

A reciprocal exchange is being sought after. On one side, Cumbre Tajín could host an English based production/line-up and Glastonbury may obtain the very best of indigenous traditions through the ritual ceremony of the Papantla flyers, the native acrobatics laboratory and a healing space with traditional indigenous doctors from across the country. In 2015, Papantla flyers and Guaguas will participate in the Glastonbury festival and in exchange, Steve Bedlam, YT and Iron Zion Ryan from The Common Glastonbury will come to Cumbre Tajín.

[CaledonianGonzo]

More on Papantla Flyers - more likely one for the Circus Fields:

I actually saw this when I was in the Yucatan, but had no idea what it was. It was pretty cool.

[Brave Sir Robin]

Good digging. "Iron Zion Ryan", lol.

I saw that in Mexico too. Rather impressive.
