West Holts

Konono no1?

Saw them at Matt Greonings ATP and thought they were fantastic

[Yesiamaduck]

Was Miss Mvula not there this year?

[Avalon_Fields]

So many good suggestions for West Holts.

Not headliners but on the back of some super new music:

Tamikrest

Tinariwen - cd coming

Suzanne Vega - cd coming

Fat Freddy's Drop - latest cd ace

Cigdem Aslan - Turkish singer from London

Linda Thompson

Phosphorescent

Tinariwen & Tamikrest I'd really like to see.. What I've heard from Tamikrest is badass

[CaledonianGonzo]

Tamikrest played this year as well.

Two bands I've just fallen in love with who I think would be a good fit somewhere on the West Holts bill:

Melt Yourself Down

Moishe's Bagel

Definitely agree about Melt Yourself Down. Perfect for the stage in a way that I don't think most Americana choices really are.

Moishe's Bagel are local and play round and about here fairly frequently, but for some reason or other I've never seen them. I keep meaning to....

[Zoo Music Girl]

Only just hearing Melt Yourself Down's album (or is it an EP?) today, having loved the singles. It's fantastic. They were at Festival No 6 I think - anyone see them? They sound like they would be good live.

I saw Moishe's Bagel in London last month (we went on a whim after hearing them on Cerys's 6music show that morning). Mostly instrumental and just great musicians.

[Osama Jim Laden]

Tamikrest played this year as well.

Missing this year is making me sadder by the minute

[Boris]

Ermmm .... they're from 2012.

(was at one of them - was superb ).

But LKJ - or even just Dennis' Dub Band - would be superb.

Arses. I've not seen him for a long long time. Guess I'll keep waiting.. Dub Band indeed would be grand.

[ancient_one]

Tamikrest played this year as well.

Did they? I have just checked the programme and can see Terakaft, but not Tamikrest.

I have been listening to both a lot recently and love 'em. Terakaft are the first 2013 example of a band I have got into just after not seeing them at Glastonbury....

[CaledonianGonzo]

Oh aye. Sorry, I knew it was one or t'other. My mistake.

[Gnomicide]

Are Civil Wars touring? Probably better suited to the Acoustic Stage but would draw a sizeable crowd. Or maybe The Decemberists for a bit of alt country.

I enjoyed Mariachi El Bronx in 20101, they'd be a welcome return

Thought they'd split up? Appropriately, given the name.

[Gnomicide]

They did but then got back together again. They may have split up again since though as they don't get on.

[5co77ie]

I see Shakatak are playing Glastonbury weekend, cool or cheesy?

[Flip-Box]

The Freestylers are posting major hints on their Facebook page about playing Glastonbury 2014 - one for the line-up/rumours page.....

Anyway.....With their full band they are really good - have played the Other Stage before and various areas DJing, reckon they'd be one of the headliners/sub-headliners on West Holts.....????

Hope so

[The Nal]

Tori Amos is touring in Europe in May/June. Last date so far is Kiev on June 17th.

Do it!

[Wooderson]

Valerie June would go down a treat. Really enjoying her latest.

[5co77ie]

I see Hayseed Dixie are in the UK, they'd be fun.

[Brave Sir Robin]

Ha ha yes, they were a great opener on the Pyramid one day a few years back

[Ruwise]

Just been to see Basement Jaxx tonight and I know they've headlined the pyramid but I think they would be a great West Holts headliner. A real carnival, fun atmosphere.

[grumpyhack]

If anyone hasn't seen Hayseed Dixie they really are worth catching. Great fun.

The Sugarhill Gang are playing at The Jazz Cafe in London in July. These could potentially play.
