Crow's Nest 2024 Contenders?

[Olshansky]

We obviously won't know until the day of, but just speculating on which acts could possibly be doing sets in the crow's nest this year. 

 

My bets: 

 

Johnny Flynn 

Lankum 

Yard Act 

Lime Garden 

The Scratch 

 

Would love it if Soft Play did one. 

 

Anyone have any bets or educated guesses? 

[moogster]

No idea but if English Teacher could do one, that would be ideal! Soft play would be fun!

seconded for English Teacher

I’d go to any of these. Also hoping Lottery Winners as can’t make their Left Field slot. What about FBS for a wild suggestion - but in his attempt to play every stage (or has he done it already?!)

I always look forward to the Crows nest sets.  It is a bit of a hike to get there and can impact on your schedule as it quite out of the way, but definitely worth it.

 

Last year I saw 3 memorable sets there, the Mary Wallopers, Beth Orton and Mozart Estate.  You are so close to the action and you can see the artists also enjoy being there too.

Really hoping Sprints pop up somewhere else with that nasty LCD clash

[faymondo]

I was under the impression they had scaled back a bit on the names especially late at night ? 

[Avalon_Fields]

Lankum would be ace there, would be well up for that. I was lucky to see the Mary Wallopers there last year, anything lively like they are would be welcome

This Beth Orton set was one of my favourite Crow's nest set AND one of my favourite last year.

Did anyone go to Big Thief there in 2022? I missed it for Kendrick.

What?! Not sure how I missed that!

 

I was there for Porridge Radio the same evening. It was great.

I went to this and it was amazing, expected it to be a lot busier than it was but was really intimate. It was Saturday night I think so I went to that and then to Roisin at WH.

I'm really surprised they are only playing once. Don't know where else they could play though now the full line up is out.

[CharlotteB]

Grace Petrie maybe?

[Memory Man]

Fat dog and lambrini girls have to be contenders given their many sets on site already

 

lynks would be, but did it last year

[Memory Man]

I wouldnt say there is any chance of yard act. Way too big.

[CanWeRest]

Do they just have acts on who played previously in the day elsewhere?

Ugh, I hate X now. I can't find the Crow's Nest feed. Do you happen to have the Crow's Nest X handle?

Ah, cool. Bit like Mavericks then?

[Scrump]

Appreciating this chat, crows nest is a must see for me this year. Johnny Flynn would be ace up there as well i reckon... Hopes are officially up!

[actionstations]

Stornoway are playing a couple of times at the fest on the Friday. They usually do a Crows Nest show when they're about, nice if you like earnest indie folk...
