cat stevens are you going ?

[Fingerbobs]

Has Cat Stevens voted yet? If he's a yes then I'm a yes, unless there's something very interesting somewhere else in which case who knows. Might be a slot that builds up the momentum the closer we get.

Depends on clashes but although I don't dispute his 'legend' status it's not a box I need to tick to be honest. 

I was the same with DiRo....and I'm still at peace with myself for opting for Fontaines. 

I left DiRo 4 songs in for Fontaines. It was a nightmare getting out of the field but a truly excellent decision!

It's not for me, this one.  That's cool - I don't expect them all to be camp Sunday singalongs! 

[TheHairBlairBunch]

Even though i fear Cat/Yusef is probably past it (Kenny Rogers,Kris Kristofferson) Im definitly going to go, mainly as im going with my friend who i bonded over about Cat Stevens the day we first met, so will be special at least!

In your opinion that is.

It's possible that the "something else" will be better in Stu's opinion and mine.

i could give you a list of festivals where they've appearred for every other act on the bill, but not for cat.  he's a genuine-rare festivals booking.

But people might also just not like him !! And that’s fair too

yep, thats fair, but alternative acts to watch are common as muck on the festivals scene, cat is a rare booking.

He's just trying to get a reaction from me. 

I'm glad there's something he likes on the line up.

[WestCountryGirl]

Without a shadow of a doubt. The Wind, Where Do The Children Play, Father and Son, Wild World, Hard Headed Woman.. I could go on. Absolutely a once in a lifetime chance for me to see this legend. I can't wait!

you nailed it.

[DareToDibble]

Almost certainly won’t be there. My friend really wants to go so if there is nothing else on I might tag along to keep them company and chill for a bit but highly likely I’ll use it for a wander with the site a bit quieter and grab some food. 

I get it’s a good booking for the festival, just not for me.

I agree and think the anticipation will build once this sinks in. Reckon he'll score highly too.
