Since we can't have Prince I say we get the next best thing, namely Bobby Nevil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Security doing the wavy hand dancing bollocks. Peeps pissing into bottles down the front.

CaledonianGonzo Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 He certainly should be in their shortlist. We might get lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jannybruck Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 His last tour struggled to shift as it was post-lockdown and he's not announced anything here for the summer (they'd almost certainly want dates on sale pre-Christmas), so I think it's proabbly a no for Baz this time.

SheffJeff Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 Over the last couple of days I've been looking at some of the artists I think would do an amazing legend set and it's amazing how many 'legends' I was unaware were dead... been quite an emotional rollercoaster!

Yeah, I don't really see it either. He'd want to wrap it up with other dates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seem's very odd given their back catalogue, and lots of pop acts getting the nod on the farm these days! Andy Bell is headlining the three rewind festivals this summer.

ClementsMike Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 I reckon it will have to be female , either solo or band , not just on the diversity front but also , a male ‘old’ star will end looking like a pound shop Relton. No realistic ideas beyond 4/5 Spices to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A greatest hits set would go down a storm surely. Not that odd as they don't do many shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember seeing it and she was a bit shit tbh. Voice gone. Yes 2014 on The Other. They weren’t great. I remember we had stumbled across a Blondie tribute at another festival a month before and we decided the tribute were a lot better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
