God Jeff Mangum would be amazing.

So would Jeff Goldblum.

Get on it, EOTR.

I've thought of another one!

Book a Northern Irish fella called Foy Vance, and you'll get a treat. The man is a fantastic, fantastic singer and an equally fantastic songwriter.

[GeordieMartin]

Only one way forward. Bring back British Sea Power !!

If you could squeeze in The Duke & The King again that would be great but also The Felice Brothers would rock the place, Ween would be great, Breathe owl Breathe are perfect, Miles benjamin Anthony Robinson would be mind blowing, Bonnie prince billy and Bill Callhan are ideal for this festival as are The Mendoza line, The Sumner Brothers and Great Lake Swimmers. I know there are 1000's of bands you can choose but any of the above would be great.

Thanks for another brilliant festival, good bands, good food, brilliant weather, couldn't ask for better.

Sipperana got in before me but Half Man Half Biscuit would be fantastic.  They still do a few gigs a year so would be available AND I would diet just to fit into my 20 odd year old Dukla Prague away shirt

We need to get the HMHB campaign going    

But overall, altho' I've already made a few suggestions, I agree with whoever it was who said to trust Simon and Sofia....... for me a lot of the fun this year has been checking out new bands as they appear on the booking list

Thats a very good point....it was so much fun finding new stuff and being very pleasantly suprised...and not seeing what I would normally chose...and seeing other peoples recomendations ie The Tallest Man On Earth. I was just happy to be in the sun surrounded by lots of wonderful and varied music... Easily pleased

Me too - most of the line-up was previously unknown to me, and I had a great time listening to new music and meeting new - and "old" - friends.

Firstly, I trust Simon and Sofia, based on my experience over the past two years (especially this year; didn't know many of the bands before I turned up). If I was definitely going to be in the UK next year, I'd already have my ticket for 2010

That said, would love to see any of the below (many of which are repeats from above):

First up, some New Zealand bands:
Jakob (kinda post-rocky, they would be great in the Local)
Dimmer (alt-rock)
Chris Knox (low-fi with fuzz and loops and stuff)

Everyone else:

Jim White
Handsome Family
Howe Gelb/Giant Sand
Calexico
Jay Farrer
Low Anthem
Leisure Society
Noah and the Whale
Mumford & Sons
Beirut
Decemberists
Sonic Boom
Lambchop (Kurt Wagner again would do)
Mountain Goats
The National
The New Pornographers (if not, maybe AC Newman)
Andrew Bird
Eels
Antony and the Johnsons
Super Furry Animals
Black Lips
The Shins
Bon Iver
Mercury Rev

Less Likely?

Wilco (or Jeff solo? Or Loose Fur?)
Magnetic Fields
Glasvegas
Nick Cave
The Flaming Lips
Spiritualized
Spacemen 3 reunion (hmmm....)
Modest Mouse
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

[Fat_Buddha]

The Pernice Brothers

[RedRockRick]

Stewboss
The Bittersweets
Ted Leo & The Pharmacists
Frog Holler
The Gourds
Silver Jews

[ljsawyer]

A couple more:

Tunng
Caribou

I'd like to see Daniel Johnston. That would be wicked. Loved hearing his cover of God Only Knows being played in the sunshine while kicking back around the garden stage.

Oh, nice idea.

And I'd been wondering who did that version of God Only Knows. Cheers
