rseamer Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 (edited) and I can tell you now that Laura Marling will not be the only Mercury-nominated artist. Edited February 13, 2009 by rseamer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Chief Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 To anyone came to our ticket launch in London last night, and Southampton last week, a huge green field in baking sunshine sized thanks for being such a great crowd and making us all think about the summer in a big way. All live acts and DJs were excellent and both events were proper parties that we enjoyed thoroughly and there was not a particular highlight as there were just too many to mention. If you came, expect more of the same this summer as, despite all that is going on in the world, we're still all ready to have a bloody good time and I reckon this summer's festival season will be one to remember for certain Much love Little Chief x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timespeedsup Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Didn't they have the Gallaghers in Shangri La at Glastonbury last year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timespeedsup Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 The Mercury Nominated hint: By my reckoning, it'll be a noisier act for Saturday night (ie not acoustic or quieter folk), they've got to be currently active, and it's gotta be a realistic possibility for Blissfields (Radiohead would have the farm swarming, so it's not them etc). Have checked the lists at http://www.nationwidemercurys.com/ & I reckon we can narrow it down to one of the following: British Sea Power Burial Neon Neon New Young Pony Club The View The Young Knives Guillemots Hot Chip Richard Hawley Hard-Fi KT Tunstall Magic Numbers Go! Team MIA Belle & Sebastian The Zutons Athlete Lemon Jelly Soweto Kinch The Thrills The Bees The Coral Electric Soft Parade Turin Brakes Death in Vegas Asian Dub Foundation Stereo MCs I may have misjudged in many ways, but that's my realistic narrowed-down bunch. Any comments anyone? Let's get this narrowed right down to who it is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timespeedsup Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Any of them would do me Paul, can you say if they are on that list? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul ™ Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 The question was inherent in the listing of a big group of acts, was waiting to see if my bait got a bite..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshuwarr Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Hmm I think The Young Knives would be a good shout. They'd be a huge draw for many I imagine. I could definitely convince a friend to go to Blissfields if they play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul ™ Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Mr Beans on Toast Not sure you appreciate that Subgiant are the best things since sliced bread IMO, but I may not always go on about it, so here's their link too: Subgiant!

timespeedsup Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Young Knives have to be a good shout, presume it'll be something that the youngsters can get their teeth into - see also NYPC, Hot Chip, maybe Go! Team. But HC may already be too big. Personally I'd like The Bees, The Zutons, or KT from that list. The Trills would also be sweet. All nicely laid back.

rseamer Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 I have more time for her these days...... but I don't think she's the sort of act Blissfields wants to close Saturday night, and suspect she'd cost too much too. The Bees on the other hand, almost local boys too........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timespeedsup Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Someone a few pages ago said Maps had split up ? I'm not sure if they have...after all aren't they effectively just 1 person (with extra help when he plays live ?) If so he can't (in the true sense of the word) 'split up' ? If they haven't 'split' I'm still banking on them, but if not British Sea Power are still my choice, as they are playing The Great Escape and are not that far from Hampshire.
