Sunday Legend 2016

[Quark]

Ranked #74 in FHM's 100 Sexiest Women.  No contest. 

 

[Gucci Piggy]

Right so we're settled on Gibb in 2017 and Elton doing the honours next year?

Fuck 'em*, we're in the post festival dead zone.  There's nothing solid to talk about for the next festival for another 6 months or so. 

 

 

 

 

*I would actually be appalled if I thought this was really getting on people's nerves.  I also would genuinely like to see Matt Berry play, since he's actually an inventive musician as well as a comedian.   Not in the legends slot, obviously.

Year off in 2017 ain't it?

Year off in 2017 ain't it?

Appazzas 2018 so Bazzas can do 2017.

So what happened between you and this Renwick customeeeer?

Concur on both counts

What about Billy Ocean

He's got some catchy tunes

Red Light Spells danger

Get out of my car

When the going gets tough

Caribbean Queen

I thought your post was a shit poem Wayne, I'm really sorry.

[FuzzyDunlop]

You missed "love really hurts without you"

Lol

Yeah another good one

[slash's hat]

He might need the cash, was playing some crappy holiday camp places couple years ago.

Billy Ocean

Ocean Colour Scene

Scene of the Crime is a song by Placebo

Placebo covered Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush

Kate Bush confirmed?

[CardiffWanderer]

they've all done it already

I don't think that's the main reason Johnny Cash won't be turning up next year.

[HurrahBrother]

Lets see. This is usually a solo artist, usually, but not always, American, not had a hit in a while but has had a few so big that they have become part of popular culture (if not always for the right reason). Also a solid reputation as a live performer.

 

Lets see...

Barry Gibb? As much as i'd love to see him live, His arthritis was getting bad last I heard, and without his brothers...

 

ELO/Jeff Lynn. That would be fabulous, chances of a few Willbury's Traveling or otherwise as guest slots would be high. 

Billy Ocean. Yes, another good option. If Lionel Ritchie can do it despite half the crowd not being born when he last had a proper hit then he is one person that can pull it off. 

Kate Bush would be nothing but a headliner. Her on stage is real event stuff (though it might be a bit marmite). 

 

Elton John? Would his famous ego stoop so low?

Billy Joel? Not sure he has the charm to pull it off! Like to be proved wrong on that one.

Peter Gabriel, now that is one I'd love to see.

 

Pat Benatar?  A couple of hits big enough, right era, maybe too much a rock chic? Maybe not quite right?

Bananarama? I hear they are back together, they have the UK hits, do they have what it takes? (Though I would prefer Fuzzbox!).

[swede]

Diana Ross or Barry Gibb for me.

[sime]

By the time Prince eventually get's around to playing he will be a shoe in for the legends slot! Damn you Prince, why didn't you just do it this year. Git.

[Winslow Leach]

Kenny Loggins.

[The Placid Casual]

POST 7000!!!!!!

 

 

[Purple aki squat]

Richard Clayderman

[Respectfatfrog]

Elo or cat stevens for me but queen if not those 2

[Hugh Jass]

 

Elton John? Would his famous ego stoop so low?

 

 

People talk about Elton's "famous ego" but last month I saw him perform to about 10,000 people at Walsall's Bescott Stadium, and it wasn't sold out. He was touring other similarly sized venues.

 

Why do people think he'd turn down the opportunity to play to 100,000 people who are guaranteed to go nuts for his set, all broadcasted around the world?
