thedementedpoppet Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Joe Gibbs has already started planning for next year and with the welcome bonus of council money it looks like an exciting time.. so anybody got any predictions?

thedementedpoppet Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 hopefully the stranglers will be on the bill.also wishbone ash,fish,marillion,jethro tull would be good.how about something a bit heavier for a change like saxon,girlschool,even motorhead?as they got a legendry american band this year(jefferson starship)they could go for the doobie brothers next time.as for scottish stuff then nazareth,sensational alex harvey band and gerry rafferty would be excellent.mind you rafferty's had problems recently and hasnt done live stuff since the 1993 tour so he'd probly be out.

chalkchick Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 The Stranglers would be good - or The Levellers would be even better. Obviously - you need to have The Dangleberries as it wouldn't be the same without them!!! Their gig under the tree is fab, but would like to see them with a better slot on the main stage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da_J_Doc-~ Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 This festival would be so right for Belle & Sebastian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill G Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 Jethro Tull would be good. I saw Stranglers at Loopallu 2 years ago and was disappointed. How about The View, Snow Patrol, Zutons, Belle and Seb, My chemical Romance.....Revisits from Peat Bog Faeries, Dangleberries, Vatersay boys ....SFG seemed keen to come back (early evening Garden Stage would be ideal). Mr G says Inspiral Carpets, the Charlatans or Jarvis Cocker and a couple of good tribute bands would be good. The Levellers would be good too. That's the opinion of the Burghead panel anyway...

Also Red Hot Chilli Pipers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jill G Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 Yup! Tried and tested routine - get back to Bunchrew campsite - shove kids in sleeping bags - crack open the vino, and imbibe until wee small hours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Day Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 Did hear that. Saw Mr G at Edgar Prais last night in Seedling tent. They were very good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill G Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 Ah, now I know who you are - Mr G says hello. I didn't see you at all yesterday, your eldest was looking for you and I told him you'd probably gone home because you couldn't hack the pace!

LJS Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 much as i love motorhead (favourite song - love me like a reptile) - i don't think they're right for belladrum I agree with flaming lips & squeeze from earlier suggestions. I would add Dick gaughan & michael marra from scotland along with the awesome fiddler's bid from shetland. Richard Thompson & Billy Bragg I adored Rachel Unthank & the Winterset & would love to see them back but please don''t put them somewhere where they have to compete with music 100 times louder than them from the next stage. The Bonzo Dog band reformed recently. They would be great. I would have Scouting for Girls back - they really put on a great show & if you're having a festival with an emphasis on families you need some music that kids like. & some blues please!!!

cloud factory Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 whilst picking up a friend at the premier inn in inverness he was talking too a few of the waterboys.they're keyboard player is richard naif.(he rememberd me from the paul roberts & baz warne gig in nairn 6 years ago)anyway he also does keyboards for soulsec and i reckon they would be brilliant for next years festival.check out they're my space to hear a track or two.

saraha Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Editors are a good shout and apparently would be keen to play Bella again. Also.. Levellers, Robots In Disguise, Elbow, and most of the rest list that Paul suggested with the addition of IAMX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevieg72 Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Some more additions along these lines would be good, the shins, laura viers, sigur ros, charlatans, vampire weekend and for the kids hoosiers wombats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
