Back on topic, I'd like to see Mark Thomas or Richard Dawkins.

+1 for Mark Thomas, although I think you'd need somewhere bigger than Speakers Corner, he usually pulls a big crowd.
He's done Glasto on quite a few times, so its not out of the question.

So Howard Marks is the obvious one but who else would you like to hear speak?

YES! MR MARKS AGAIN PLEASE. He was amazing on sunday last year, I'v always wanted to hear thw whiey story in person.. Oh lord how I laughed.. The whole sitting on the floor thing though? Thank f*ck I was at the barriar.. I met him aswell, bloody legend IMO. Get him back for sure.

Henry Rollins is quite interesting and an articulate speaker - would be be a good Glasto addition imo

Dunno if he has appeared before but I expect that he has...

Good thread this !

[Mardy]

yeah, rollins spoken word stuff is great, I really like him. Don't think he's played before though

Aiden Moffatt. He's hillarious.

I'd like to see Billy Bragg - his chat between songs at gigs is great and his column in Q is the first thing I turn too.

I met him once at a book signing (I was working in the store) and he was a really lovely bloke. Chatted with the staff for ages, did loads of extra signings for us, he even cadged one of my fags off me and went out of his way to think of something he could trade for it (gave me some Howard Marks rizlas!) He was a top bloke in my experience. Maybe he's changed over the years?

f**king awful speaker though.

What a great sight at Glastonbury amongst the dust/mud pontificating about food/films and car insurance.

And he can review the grub stalls.
