Interesting feature on Asha Puthli, who will be on West Holts.

 

Love that mini doc.  Hadn't heard of her until the poster drop.  Love her work.  70's psychedelic soul/jazz is very much in my wheelhouse.  Can't wait to see her at Glasto.

In the theme of world beating female vocal performances, can I please nominate this?

Such an interesting life story! Leaving India, marrying someone she met in a museum to get a residence permit, getting signed by John Hammond, working with these jazz greats, getting re-discovered and sampled by hip hoppers and now a late career renaissance. Excellent compilation 'The Essential Asha Puthli' seems to include all her reinventions on one disc.

Beyoncé and Paul McCartney (the first time) are two of my most memorable nights at the Pyramid (the one in Somerset)

 

This is beautiful.

Not a huge Beyonce fan, but agreed. That's lovely.

I was there for every moment of every instance of Amy performing at Glastonbury. 

Does fate just deal things like that out by chance alone?

I don't know.
