West Holts

[eFestivals]

Yes. and even more yes. went down well at Beautiful Days I heard.

were great at boomtown too - tho like most acts like that they can be a shouty at times.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Also a bit odd given that Bonnie Prince Billy and Dawn McCarthy did something similar - identical, even - at the start of the year.

[The Nal]

what an odd pairing

Yeah! It works though. His voice is great.

Haven't heard that is it any good? Would be surprised judging by whos involved.

I think the Plan/Krauss thing a few years back has made this sort of collab a cool thing to do.

Darkside please. Nicholas Jaar went down well on West Holts in 2011 and the new album is superb. (I have said this before but it bears repeating). Would be perfect for a frazzled Sunday lunchtime.

would be very much up for this! been loving their album lately

When was the last time Jimmy Cliff played? Never seen him.. Could be a shout for Sunday afternoon..

Wouldn't mind seeing LL Cool J but don't think he's a) a big enough draw or b.) a 'Glastonbury' act

2011

[matt2007]

Duke Special, mid afternoon would be perfect

[pjadnoo]

The wailers would be a decent addition too if they're touring at the mo. Saw them sub-headline in 2005 when it was jazz world, and they were great fun. Granted it'll never be the same as when bob was around, but the music would still be perfect for a sunny afternoon

[Wooderson]

Bob Seger. Hearing "Night Moves" on the Sunday night would be incredible. Jonathan Wilson. The man is PERFECT for that stage. Moistboyz. Gillian Welch. And I have to make my now customary annual request for Robert Randolph & The Family Band and of course Bobby Weir and friends/Dark Star Orchestra.

[Ted Dansons Wig]

Antibalas

Heavy Horses

Gary Clark (again)

Neville Bros.

and I'll second that Bob Seger order

and howzabout a leetle Zappa Plays Zappa?

[Zoo Music Girl]

Amazing call! Seen them twice and brilliant both times.

I'll third the Zappa request!

Yup indeed saw him this week doing Roxy and Elsewhere ...fookin ace

[balti-pie]

I loves a bit of bluegrass. And Hayseed Dixie are great bluegrass players as well as having lots of hilarious/brilliant covers. An afternoon of cider and banjo would be just ACE please

Aye, could see it being a decent dance maybe..

Yeah me too, I cha cha'd the shit out of Nic Jarr in 2011 and the crowd loved it... it was perfect mid afternoon live instrument/electronic hybrid and Darkside gives me the same vibe.

[CaledonianGonzo]

He's owe us a show:

He does indeed.

[Brave Sir Robin]

Jonathan Wilson. The man is PERFECT for that stage.

Yes please! Two brilliant albums of dreamy sun-kissed rock, as you say would definitely suit West Holts.

[tommyds]

Herbie Hancock, Zappa plays Zappa & Tom Waits for headliners!

[The Nal]

Herbie Hancock followed by Tom Waits. Do it!! Do it!!

[zero000]

Definitely agree with this. I find Nicholas Jaar pretty inaccessible but the Darkside album is fantastic.

I've seen them twice at gigs now and it's easy to get over the 'who's songs are these' thing. The singer isn't trying to be a tribute act, and the playing is really tight.

I wanna echo Ted Danson's Wig's call for Antibalas. That'd be really grand

[Yesiamaduck]

Konono no1?

Saw them at Matt Greonings ATP and thought they were fantastic
