With the London Symphony Orchestra 

Not sure. Feels like people are just doing Simpsons stuff at this stage. Would love a big fat bassline

[Jack H]

Chaka Khan, Ezra Collective and FKA Twigs as headliners. Underneath you get Shygirl, Big Thief, Kokokoko, Hak Baker, Amarae, Yaya Bey, Kamasi Washington, Emily Samde and Kneecap

At WOMAD this weekend and just watched the amazingly talented Kaidi Akinnibi. What talent. Plays Sax, Guitar and tremendous vocals.

Would be a fantastic act for West Holts

Enjoying this mini-album by MRCY

 

 

Think psychedelic soul in the same sort of vein as Sault or Gabriels and you're in the right sort of zone. Even Michael K / Jalen N.

Ezra Collective were amazing in 2023 - would love to see them headline

I’m loving MRCY, could definitely see them getting a spot on WH next year

it's very good indeed. Would be lovely on a sunny day.

Totally slept on this a few months back - and I know that enthusing about the extended members of Bob Marley's family is generally more Neil's bag - but this from Ms. Lauryn Hill's son is a pretty damn great bit of roots:

Imagining this soothing some sore heads early one morning

Hate to see it

His WH set in 2013 was immense.

[CaledonianGonzo]

 

You wait ages for an Alice Coltraney / Dorothy Ashby-esque space jazz harp jam to come along and suddenly they're everywhere 

[westholtschic]

Seen chat, but can’t find the link again, that Earth Wind and Fire are possibly touring the UK again next year. Would be fantastic, for me, to finally see them live.

I'd say nine years is a fair gap. 

 

Might have been where you were sat, cos it went off everywhere around me within a 25m radius.

They were my Sunday headliner in 2016 at West Holts and I didn't regret it for a second.
