"Big florida export" for Bearded apparently. I'm guessing Lenny Kravitz. 

[man next door]

I thought Lenny Kravitz was from the Bahamas....

[hoils]

Less Than Jake? Would be a good fit, I think. 

[maninkilt]

The Mavericks ? From Florida and would be a good fit .

I've been asking for them on their forum. I hope it's them. Yep, be a great fit. Ace live

Saw Killing Joke at Rockaway Beach and they were on fine form. Would love to see them back.

Also some of the TNS label bands (Revenge of the Psychotronic man?) would be a good fit for earlier in the day.

[Gnomicide]

Where is Paul to give us a few clues?  Wednesday is ages.

[Paul ™]

Don't know anything mate... looking forward to some good news tonight though!! 

[sparkythetortoise]

Skunk Anansie!

That's a bit of a surprise. Shall now go away and process if that's a good thing or not

 

[Paul ™]

Amazing choice... no need to process it

[Gnomicide]

Some crackers in that announcement. 

I'm in.

[THEBOILERMAN]

Excellent line already  

[Kay95]

Reverend and the Makers closing the Woodland stage will be amazing.  Very happy with the line up announced so far.

[BlackHole2006]

I have had to do wee bit of research for this initial announcement and really liking some of the bands I'm hearing. Hoping something good comes up on Magical Sounds and Convoy Cabaret for Friday night, which I know it will. Although I am liking the sound of Skunk Anansie!

Dude, you never heard of Skunk Anansie? Enjoy, got many good memories of them back in the late 90's. Chuffed with the line up so far, some right nuggets. @Kay95 yep the Rev in the woodlands on the Sun night will be a beautiful way to end the festival.

Great stuff already, I bloody love this festival!

Nah mate I've heard of them, but never bothered checking out their music. Like what I'm hearing so far for sure, but I'm hoping there's gonna be something good on Convoy Cabaret or Magical Sounds (which there will be). Will deffo check out a couple of songs for sure. Really liking the sound of The Alarm and New Model Army, they'll both be really good, Roving Crows will also be excellent. I'm far from disappointed that I got a ticket so early, in fact, I'm pretty chuffed with myself!

Is there anywhere you'd recommend starting with these guys?

i remember enjoying them at the big chill years ago but I must admit I didn't enjoy the random Spotify output yesterday... are they one of those 'better live' bands?

i'm not sure if I've seen them live. I have a vague idea that I have, but have no image of it in my mind.

And i can't really point you in the direction of any named stuff either unfortunately. Most of my knowledge of them is from a few unnamed tapes from decades back, from when I looked after my bruv's music collection when he was abroad for a while.

The only thing I have in my collection is 'Great Vintage Volume 2' but it's been years since i've given it a spin, and I'd really be guessing if I tried rating it now ... so will give it a listen today and let you know what I think later.

[eFestivals]

have just looked at album names, and have a feeling that one of the albums I had on tape was 'my life in a hole in the ground', so will try and find that to give a listen today too.

A lot to  choose from , I find the most recent live album is always a good place to start.... Japan 2005 it is then...

That's probably not a bad bet.

just listened thru 'Great Vintage Volume 2' and it's quite pleasant but not necessarily 'accessible'. It's probably more 2am smoking music than something which will go down particularly well on a festival stage.

I now have much more to refresh my memory with, so will crack on with that.
