Recommend an act

[Lincoln Six-Echo]

I would heartily recommend Alela Diane, who's playing the Park on Sunday, if you like folksy singer-songwriters with amazing voices

[michaeldugan]

I would add:

Imelda may

Blue Roses

Broken Records

The Low Anthem

[spikes pants]

Imelda May - Just got the album and it's awesome

[JodiB]

Will and the people

Sony's Dirty Boots stage (probably where Queens Head used to be in the Jazz World area)

They will be playing Thursday & Saturday. Times yet to be announced.

[Craig_G]

Priscilla Ahn

[Messy]

Already mentioned them in another thread, but for the love of God, do whatever it takes to get to British Sea Power at Avalon on Friday. Killer band, and so, so good live.

[gemstarrr]

slow club, the virgins, marina and the diamonds, vagabond

the line up in the queens head is looking briliant this year, i'd check out whoever is playing in there if you happen to be stumbling past, there's loads of amazing up and coming bands playing

[stuartbert two hats]

The Lancashire Hotpots!

[The Nal]

Check out the bass line!

[defstereo]

The Dynamics. Friday night at club dada in the Shangri la field. Amazing reggae covers of tunes like whole lotta love and seven nation army

[Greenish]

recommending The Amigos. Saw them at Sunrise Festival, twice! Describe themselves as dub/rock/japanese pop

http://www.myspace.com/theamigosband

(check out dub be good to me!)

[Orbital]

My 3 top picks are

Lamb - On the jazz world stage (not sure which day sorry) just got back together after a 4-5 year break up. They make some of the most beautiful music and nearly made me cry in 2004

Beardyman - Amazing human beat box and so so much more, incredible and really funny performer. You can catch him on Thursday in the dance village and he is doing another set at the glade with the bays (who are an awesome as well).

High Contrast - Drum and Bass Dj with soul and melody that will make you smile (on at the dance village)

i have to agree with the person who said alela diane.

she is absolutely incredible.

however, she has a live band these days which do not so her justice.

[grumpyhack]

Biggles Wartime Band for a bit of silliness done really well. On at various bandstands.

[forum fanny]

Crazy P - brilliant live band.

[benjy26]

marina and the diamonds - hotty!

[mario man]

Rokia Traore at Jazzworld on Sat afternoon. Been trying to add a youtube vid of her playing Jools at few weeks back but can't seem to post vids at moment, so have a look HERE!

[Nick May]

I'd have to say "Whimwise" on The Tadpole Stage in The Green Futures Field on Friday at 6-00 pm are definitely worth a visit.

Check them out for something totally unique.
