Jazz World Stage announcements

[ramragon]

the jazz stage was probably my one regret last year, didnt make an effort to see anyone one it which was shameful, just as shameful as not realising that thats where the brothers cider bus was as well !

neither mistake will be repeated this year !

[sdaveak47]

It doesn't look like we'll be getting John Mayall with BB King as he's playing elsewhere all weekend (only friday he's not with BB). So we'll either get BB alone or possibly not at all (which would be a real shame).

[grandadcollective]

well aren't you just the barer of bad news !!

[sdaveak47]

Don't shoot the messenger. I'm as keen for them as the next guy and would have missed NY for them but if it's unlikely they'll play then I don't want to get my hopes up too much. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed but think BB just became a bit less likely.

I have a feeling that you might see Chic on Jazzworld .... and if you do you're in for a HUGE treat, as I'm sure anyone who caught them last year at various fests can testify.

I want Roy Ayres back on the Jazz stage. last saw him at GF in, i think 95. Fantastic. He is booked for a couple of other fests so I think chances are good.

[Badlands]

If I were you I'd get practising that old 70's disco dancing .......

im dying to know what day the easy star allstars are gonna be on and hoping for some nice hip hop for the day time. lupe fiasco was a highlight lastyear.

I see BB King has now been totally removed from the list, which is even more annoying than all these poxy swine flu threads

It's really bad, as I did think "well I'll have to go to one of BB's other UK gigs if he doesn't play Glasto" but then I realised that they're all clashing with the fest. Bloody disaster...

[Fezler69]

this line ups getting worse and worse!!

Thats good news As much as i love Blues i find these days that BB King is just so predictable, same old set,saw him about two years back at NEC, not very good, and as for John Mayall, well he did some good stuff with clapton, Green and Taylor many many years back, but nothing since...Give some new Blues a chance...Jo Bonamassa would be my first choice

[The Nal]

Of all the places I put my first post its on the Jazzworld stage page - not bad for an old (41) indie kid who should know better.

Why has nobody mentioned the magnificent Ojos de Brujo for Glastonbury? Anybody who has seen them before will know just how fantastic they are live.

I'd like to throw in a request (can we do that, if only..) for Amadou & Mariam as well, I think I saw somebody else earlier in this thread mention them as well.

And if Manu Chao wants to put Mano Negra back together for the night I would be very happy. I know Manu Chao is great now anyway but just for old time sake.

Right off to other parts of the forum to add my two pence worth...

[denwyn]

But hes a honky!!

To cooler-than-thou hipsters like The Nal, being white means he aint legit.

[scudetto_boy]

So where are all the bands? Maybe the best stage of the lot, and 4 or 5 confirmed bands so far?

Tinariwen and Michael Franti being two I'll defo see, (and obviously, but doubtful that he'll be there, BB King).

Huh?

"If you book them, they will come".

[grumpyhack]

Sorry can't agree with the dissing of BB King and John Mayall. Both greats. I don't think Mayall is that special as a performer but the bands he puts together have always been superb and really tight.

[eFestivals]

Tinariwen are playing on Saturday - they're doing a slot on Jazzworld as well as one on the Pyramid (both Saturday).
