I went to the Union Chapel gig and it was an incredible collaboration! Amadou & Mariam as themselves should definetly be worth checking out a great talented pair...

I hope this is true although after the disagreement between Gilmour and Glastonbury booking officials last year I just cannot see it

I've just come across the following rather upsetting article here, surely Eavis could have found the space if he really wanted to???:

David Gilmour Glastonbury Snub Denied by Organizers

June 03, 2008 09:26:12 GMT

Previous news saying that the Glastonbury Festival organizers have snubbed David Gilmour to perform at the event because he was too old, has now been denied by one of the organizers, Michael Eavis. Michael who was previously being named as the one who rejected David's wish to play at the event, revealed that the reason he turned down the legendary rocker because there are no space left for a new performer.

Speaking to the press Michael said, "I got a call three or four weeks ago from Gilmour's people. It was obviously very flattering that he had shown an interest in playing here, but by that time all the bands were already in place for this year." He also added, "We've got a wonderful line-up and I couldn't bump one of the artists off, even for him. Hopefully we'll be able to arrange it for another year, though."

I'm fairly sure that thing about a snub was from last year.

[BonnetBird]

Yeah, I think I remember reading about that last year.

I think it got even worse when Rick Wright passed away.

They let KoL keep top billing and snubbed Pink Floyd?

That's just too f**king insane to be true. Kings of Leon? who? Does not compute.
