He's playing at Ether festival - what are the chances of Gil Scott-Heron playing this year?

Would love to see him in the evening - perhaps even the sunset slot - on Jazzworld, kick back with a pint of cider and listen to a total genius - would be stunning.

This will only be my second Glasto but it's more than likely I'll have seen more legends in my two years than my four at TITP :P

Why couldn't I have started attending Glasto sooner? :P

Presumably his set will not be televised?


(Sorry.)

This is fantastic news, more than makes up for the likes of U2 and Muse elsewhere.
