I’d hardly say 1 a year (with possible 2 in 2021 and 2016 if you count Roisin Murphy and James Blake as dance) counts as mostly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed her Tapestry - Hyde Park set from 2016 is sublime. I really can't think of anyone more suited to the legend set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 She has, but for the last 20 years or so she wasn't especially active anyway. Think I heard her fee was eye-wateringly high, meaning her and the G were never going to have a meeting of minds anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 Ocean's a textbook example of "Not every storied heritage act is the right size for the Legend Slot but they should still book his ass into another slot" maxim.

Red Light Spells Danger one of my ten favourite songs as a kid. RLSD is a truly great tune!!! Making me hum it at my desk now. I’m afraid I don’t share the love for CQ though, very average. Not convinced there’s enough in a Billy Ocean set to stop me going for a lie down in the sun up behind the Park stage and just watch RLSD on iplayer when I get home.
