The Sunday Afternoon slot

[sifi]

given that there are more and more 'veteran' acts on the main stage, the Sunday Afternoon slot no longer really exists does it? How does it differ from other slots?

A musician who had hits before the first festival, I'd say, but not big enough to headline or play second on the bill?

Next!

[sifi]

interesting, I'd never thought of that first clause. Is that how it works? must have had a pre 1970 hit?

[Mardy]

I don't think it's a hard-and-fast rule. More a rule that seems to fit than anything else

[Mardy]

anyway, my vote, after much thought: Simon & Garfunkel

[cejx]

Yeah right, thanks for that intelligent contribution

[Mardy]

not an intelligent contribution, just an opinion. I think that the offerings given for vote were shit.

Seen Bonnie Tyler do a hometown gig in Swansea

She and her band were good! Jim steinman numbers galore

As for the rest

Dolly could blow us away

Bert bacharach likes to bring on guests to sing his songs , could see a star spangled line up- 'raindrops keep falling on my head' will be suited to most Glastos so yeah

Cliff no, Manilow no (somebody needs to tell him that is plastic surgeon has done him no favours)

I'd be extremely happy if that was too happen. What a brilliant afternoon that would be. Far too big to do that slot though i think.

I'd agree with that. Fair play cejx. Old/Legend doesn't automatically equal kitsch, laughable, ironic mediocre shite

(DP doesn't fit into that category, possibly. I dunno)

[Madabout G]

[Langdale Wolf]

Out of that lot? Burt.

But I'd prefer Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, BB King or Chuck Berry.

[When Jokers Attack]

Englebert Humperdinck please

[TheSeventhOne]

[glastofreak]

Blondie truely awfull last time they played Peter Gabrial too big as would be Dylan, Steve Wonder and Simon and Garfunkel

[VCK]

Ozzy Osbourne?

[grumpyhack]

Got to be Rolf Harris. Was brilliant on the Jazz World this year but lots of people couldn't get in. Give him back The Pyramid.
