From the past

  • Belle and Sebastian

  • The Levellers (always great for a festival)[/

The folk bit

  • The Imagined Village (again) and/or Billy Bragg

  • Jim Moray

  • Kate Rusby (I know she played last year but she's great)

The world bit

  • A return of the Dhol Foundation as they were fantastic

  • Soweto Gospel Choir or someone of that ilk

....please, NO Pronghorn - The Wurzels without musicianship!!!!!

Whatever happened to that Welsh Lass - Duffy, I think she was called - tipped for superstardom - Wychwood as her launchpad, then?

Agree with Kate Rusby and those two ace guitarists that swore like troopers - Rodrigo y Gabbywhatsit

Ash Grunwald, Michael Wookey etc. etc.- god, these lists always teeter into yawndom.....

I'd like to put in a quick shout for Face the West. Saw them last weekend and they are utterly brilliant. Loud, Celtic style music you just can't help but dance to.

Another band who would be worth checking out are The Dodge Brothers. Sort of skiffle type band. Saw them at Larmer Tree earlier in the year and thought they were great.

Teacher: ' come on children, if The Grate Denini has been to the last TWO Wychwoods, hands up if you can tell me how many he has missed!'

Well I'm chuffed I got one of my requests thus far (the Levellers). I saw the imagined village last night which made me want the Dhol Foundation to play even more. However I'd also love Duotone (aka Barney Morse-Brown) who is also part of the imagined village - his album is amazing.

Finally saw the Unthanks in their new line up recently - they would be fabulous, as would Jonny Kearney and Lucy Farrell.

Also great to see the Beautiful South on the line up! It's going to be a great festival again!

Last year was my first Wychwood (no virgin jokes please) and if we could get Bellowhead back, I'd get up off the sofa and jump around like a loon. Rodriguo y Gabriela would be a great crowd puller. The Beat were FANTASTIC, if you could get more high-energy-two-tone-madness (intended) I'd get up off the sofa and pogo like a loon, again.

A nice radio 4 comedy voice like Arthur Smith (who was on all too briefly last year) would be brilliant for the more, shall we say, mature audience. I love Sandi Toksvig! (I know, I'd be spurned, I mean her wit. You are awful.) Comedy-wise, Mr B the Gentleman Rhymer went down a storm! We might lure him back with an offer of free Pimms.

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
