Emily, this time last year I asked you to turn Worthy Farm into Sex Farm for me. You obliged. I wanna use Neil's forum to appeal to you in similar fashion with a band that would grace your field with distinction next summer.

I saw CHIC play Electric Picnic in Ireland last Saturday. Honestly one of the best gigs ive ever, ever seen. Couldnt emphasise this enough.

They were rumoured on here (correct me if I'm wrong Young Neil) for a good while to be playing the summer just gone. The fact they didnt was a MAJOR boo-boo.

Nile Rodgers basically channelled everything I love about funk, soul, R&B, house and hiphop into one 90 minute gig. If he is booked to do something similar next summer at the 40th anniversary his band will go down in history. The man is a visionary.

This is not exhaggeration. They were incredible. Shed a tear etc. :D

Pick up the phone. Send the registered letter. Get it sorted.

That is all.

I saw Nile & Chic at WOMAD last year, and just like you I thought it was fantastic.

After guessing that they might have been seen at Jazzworld this year, I've since found out that Jazzworld did try to book them, but for some reason it didn't come about.

I'd guess that it's likely that they'll have another go next year. Fingers crossed. :D

yeah, gets my vote. And if anyone can pull it off, it's Wooderson.

Got to be honest, this time last year, I thought he was off with the fairies banging on about Spinal Tap, but fair play to the lad, he's called it bang on the bollocks right.

I saw Chic at Sonar in 2007, although, as I was waiting for a mate who'd gone for a wander and had to stand just outside the arena, I didn't get the full impact of their gig. What I saw was incredible though.

Who would have the cheek (geddit) to deny us the chance to hear these total classics at the 40th Birthday celebration?

Lost In Music

I Want Your Love

Everybody Dance

He's The Greatest Dancer

Le Freak

Good Times

I'm Coming Out

Let's Dance

Upside Down

I say Sunday night at a jam-packed/rip-roaring Jazz World. Grown men like me who should know better singing "We Are Family" at the top of their lungs at Glasto?!? Got to happen.

:P

      What telly progs are you bingeing on?

      I didn't think I'd ever watched a Coben adaptation or read one of the original books, though turns out I did - I watched one called The Stranger back in 2020. Clearly didn't stick long in my memory as until researching it, I didn't know that was one of his. Queens Gambit or Black Mirror, it was not.    But clearly it's popular tripe in some respect if Netflix is going yes to everything he has to offer and are apparently about to start trying his most popular individual character, as seen below:   https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2026/jul/30/how-harlan-coben-became-the-king-of-potboiler-tv   Plus hey. Sometimes people get a kick from watching something and deriding it as crap. Don't let this internet rando stop you haha
