Emily - Book Nile Rodgers & CHIC for 2010

[Wooderson]

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.

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.

They were shit hot at Camp Bestival. Sore ankles and throats all round.

Did they play at the weekend? How do you think they'd go down at The Big G?

Or need I ask?

[jonbob]

This would be absolutely stunning! MAKE IT HAPPEN!!

(pity Bernie isn't around though - he's one of my fave bass players)

[Mardy]

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.

Im just hoping that Emily or one of her buddies has the idea return to their head - "Yeah - CHIC for Sunday night on Jazzworld. Perfect!"

Emily has just about zero to do with what ends up on Jazzworld. Jazzworld decides what goes on Jazzworld.

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.

So I asked Nile on Facebook by saying the following

any chance you can come over and help Glastonbury festival celebrate 40 years in true Chic style?

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.

[Wooderson]

Oh yes this would work.

Great idea, great thread. Please someone make it happen

[Peache Calhoon]

O yes i think this has to happen - good call

book them book them book them

[marktea]

If youre on Facebook then send Nile a mail letting him know we think it'd be great if he played!

[Badlands]

I added him as soon as I seen this post last night. Pending response.

He'll be getting the Glasto requests in stereo
