Acoustic stage 2015 wish list

[matt2007]

Roddy Frame - he's on 6music session now and with a tour in the winter

Joan Armatrading - Great on Jazz world in 2008

Any other ideas?

[whisty]

Fiona Apple, not sure what crowd she'd get, I'm more likely to win the lottery & don't buy a ticket but can wish.

[FuzzyDunlop]

Ocean Colour Scene (simon and Oscar maybe)

The Proclaimers

[matt2007]

Forgot to put Drunk in Public, levellers acoustic, great fun and how about Bellowhead

[TomViolence]

Laura Marling please

[A Guy Called Matt]

Just NOT Dexy's!

[willutalk]

BELLOWHEAD!!! Just such a fun great folk band!

[KryziF]

Bellowhead played west holts last time they were at Glasto I think they'd be more likely to play there again for the bigger field. Are they not more suited to Avalon rather than acoustic?

[faymondo]

Henry Priestman

[Gnomicide]

Counting Crows, Cracker or Golden Smog would gain my approval.

[One Tonne Baby]

Father John Misty please

[ancient_one]

Roddy Frame

Freddie Stephenson - saw him supporting the Waterboys recently, and thought he would go down well all over Glastonbury.

[drewsstrat]

Damian rice, fishermans friends (to make up for last one), Aussie pink floyd, glen tilbrook, Neil Finn or crowded house

[drewsstrat]

And show of hands

And show of hands

Couldn't agree with you more. I love Show of Hands and think the combination of Steve Knightley, Phil Beer and Miranda Sykes works a treat. I love the new album partly because is slightly more experimental and different than the more traditional tunes such as Cousin Jack and Country Life. Cousin Jack of which is an absolute master piece and provides an awesome sing-along. Having seen them about 5/6 times in various scenarios e.g Steve Solo, Steve and Phil and Steve Phil and Miranda and also with friends : I think that they are really an epitome of a Devonshire folk band and therefore warrants a slot at Glasto which somewhat cherishes music expressive of culture.

[Rumblestripe]

Lindisfarne (or what's left of them) have been playing some gigs again. Great sing along songs.

Horslips the original celtic rock band, played Cropredy last year (I think, might have been 2012?)

Joanne Shaw Taylor, never (as far as I know) played Glastonbury, but four albums into her career and getting a decent sized following. There's not enough blues at the festival IMO.

Caught JJ Rosa this year and I think she could go down well here or Williams Green?

Iain Matthews

The Jayhawks

The Gene Clark No Other Band

[Babyquack]

The Gene Clark No Other Band

I know it's a wish list Scottie but I think EOTR was a one off unfortunately. They had enough trouble organising everyone for just 1 UK show, so I'm not sure they'll bother with it again. However it was so damn magical I wish they do come back

[billum]

JJ Rosa again definitely pls, but agree William's Green a better spot for her.

My wish for the Acoustic Stage is to sort out the PA please! Really the worst sound of the festival for me this year, which I think could be due to the fact that it's a PA for acoustic acts (understandably!!) but most of the acts I saw there were small-ish electric bands.

As for acts to put on it, my vote goes for the Watford-tastic Staves. They were brilliant in Croissant Neuf a couple of years back.

[Mardy]

The Gene Clark No Other Band

Hmmm... what I love most about that Gene Clark No Other Band performance at End of the Road is that it was a one-off, that's what made it so special, in that setting, that thing, probably never going to be repeated. That just added to the beauty of the moment

[Avalon_Fields]

Linda Thompson

Steeleye Span

Graham Parker

[Amy Lawn]

Is John Murry an Acoustic type act, or is he more Park? I nearly never make it up to the hill to Acoustic, despite spending a lot of time in T&C, but it's got good vibes. I'd like to get in there more.

[Ruwise]

Kate Rusby

Kathryn Williams

The Staves

Beth Orton

[Mardy]

I love John Murry, but I'd hate to see him at Glastonbury, for the same reasons I stayed away from Dexys last year. I just know I'df get annoyed by people not listening and watching intently enough.

Saw him in March in Belgium with at tops, 40 people in a living room sized space, was astonishing.
