Suggestions for bands for 2012??

Conflict, Crass, Subhumans, Culture Shock - a Saturday punkfest in the Big Top??
Bellowhead, Fairport Convention, Planxty, Bothy Band, Chieftains - the old and new folk kings?
Indie/Alternative - Weddding Present, Ned's, Lush, Curve?
Dance - Leftfield, Dreadzone, Orbital?

One venue that has really come into it's own is the Bimble Inn - especially with the Hobo's and from what I heard - Fericous Dog and Leatherat

Also for the Big top - turn the music down/off when the acts are playing, they did (generally) on the main stage!!

Dodgy, Stuffies and a reformed Supergrass for the indie slots . . .

Treetop Flyers and Count to Fire were fantastic at Acoustica, I'd love to hear them at Beautiful Days

Apparently none have been booked and organisers have acts approach them to play. There's a new seated theatre venue, and a new pedestrian relief bridge, plus improved roadways, and a little more space for campervans and camping

the gig was meant to be a one off but he did say we will be back so heres hoping

How about this year's potential festive number one charting act? The Wombles!  Half the field was packed with Beaut Days regulars at Glastonbury this year - you know you were there!

Looking more likely I bet they've pushed their appearance fee up now.

There was loads of room for campervans this year, more than half the second field was unused.

I'd like The Polyphonic Spree for Beautiful Days think they'd be perfect :-)

I had to check - well Wiki - because I though the band ran out of money in 2009 and stopped touring - seem they're still going. they would be an excellent choice for the line-up.

I think Alestorm would also go down well at Beautiful Days

[HurrahBrother]

With Flogging Molly being on the sonisphere line up, looks like they could be available.

Though they did play last year!

Would love the Polyphonic Spree too, I saw them at Glastonbury years ago and they were fantastic.

I thought they only tour America now though because the cost of flying all of them and their gear was far too expensive???

I saw PS at Glasto too...I seem to remember it was scorching hot and a couple of guys shouting "turn it up"every 2 minutes!
