Sunday Legend 2016

[Mardy]

Hahaha, i kept getting that running through my head this week every time i looked at this thread. Brilliant!

[russycarps]

Gordon lightfoot is touring the UK for the first time in 35 years next may/June

It's happening!

Fuck your cheese bullshit

[Thearg]

They could put the  lyrics on the big screen for the singalong

 

I just had a listen and I would go,probably better on the acoustic 

[russycarps]

I heard he sings this song every year close to where the wreck of the ship lies in tribute to the poor souls who lost their lives

"If you could read my mind" is a tune mind

[russycarps]

"If you could read my mind" is a tune mind

Yes! Though I suppose he is better suited to the acoustic tent

[another number]

Diana Ross. Please please let it be her

[LeeGalvin]

All of these suggestions (Diana Ross particularly, but Billy Joel, George Michael, Phil Collins et al.) would be far more favourable than the rumour of Leo Sayer! Please, no.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Leo Sayer is only being rumoured by himself. I doubt there's a single other person on the planet that thinks he's the man for the job.

That's as maybe, but I'd rather it was him than the Collins or George Michael.

 

Imagine Leo Sayer getting the Avalon Curiosity Slot* and thinking it was the Pyramid Legend slot. What larks!

He's a lesser light than previous incumbents Lulu, Brucie, The Wurzels and The Wombles.

[Gnomicide]

Fair point. Maybe a collaboration with Nial Rogers. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

It's almost admirable they way that everyone is pretending that they won't be standing in the Pyramid field in a showgirl costume, yellow feathers in their hair, bawling into their scrumpy as #WrongBazza rolls out Read 'Em & Weep.

[Untz]

*Not official slot name

It should be.

[Gnomicide]

It should be.

 

The campaign starts here!

[CaledonianGonzo]

The 'Leo Sayer Is Debatably Just About Big Enough' Slot.

[mike46]

Not sure if it's been mentioned already, but what about Keith Richards? New album is good and if he throws some Stones in then it could go down a storm!

wouldn't say no to him making an appearance, but he's hardly known for his solo stuff, which i think should be/is a requirement for the legend slot

[Justiceforcedave]

Don't think he'd play the Legends slot but while we're on the topic of guitarists.....wasn't Jimmy Page supposed to be touring next year?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Keith's going back on the road with the Stones next spring:

[FakeEmpire]

We all know it's Manilow, don't we?  So let's stop kidding ourselves that it's going to be anyone better.

[Untz]

There's still hope. It isn't over until the frozen faced man sings.

[russycarps]

There's no way it'll be manilow. No chance. None.

 

The festival wont want to turn that slot into comedy hour.

 

From brian wilson to manilow in 10 years. Fuck that shit.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Or from Brian Wilson to Tom Jones in four...

It's already been turned into "comedy hour" long ago. You're remembering Brian Wilson and Ray Davies, and choosing to forget quite a few others.

Shirley Bassey for a start. And Dolly, Lionel, and Neil Diamond.
