different booker I hear now tho.

Is it right that he's got more of a liking for the more trad end of things?

[FunkyDenz]

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.

[Wooderson]

I'll drop a Chic tune for you Wooderson, and for Nile, on Purple Radio, this Saturday on my show (Saturday Soul with Denzileo, 12noon-2pm GMT, 7am-9am EST)

[FunkyDenz]

I dropped Chic - I Want Your Love, on my show today, giving a shout out to Wooderson and to Nile Rodgers.

You can listen to it again here (it's on part 2).

This is the best idea ever, could well be a legendary glasto performance.

[stripeass85]

I would definately be donning full on gold spandex disco gear for this performance..wooo hoo, come on Emily and ME, make up for those of us who sit on the other side of the fence and hate U2 and Muse....Last years Neil Young and Blur will never be topped for me but if Chic play...wow

[Innana]

different booker I hear now tho.

Is it right that he's got more of a liking for the more trad end of things?

[Innana]

By way of appreciation I'll arrange some seriously tasty GF tucker for you my dear!

[Wooderson]

Hi Wooderson! * waves*

Bribery by way of tasty GF treats often works with me!

[Innana]

Hopefully theres an effort made by the festival this year for the GF nosh to be listed in the guide.

All my wife ate last year was baked spuds. Poor little lass!!!

If Chic play we'll have to organise something. Fingers crossed!?

[The Nal]

I've posted in the GF thread re: other good options for Coeliac friendly food at Glasters.

Re: Chic - I was a bit premature when I posted that I'd see what I could do, as since then certain discussions have been going on that may have a bearing on the likelihood of this even being considered. Sorry for the crypticness but there's nothing I can go public about just yet ....

[fullalove]

Good work Denzil mate! Thanks for the mention!

Pretty cool vibes all in chief. Can I get a tracklisting?

BTW picked up tickets to see Chic in May in Dublin. Gonna be super. Venue holds about 800.

[dan8k]

has anyone got contact details for jazzworld, lets start a love triangle and get this booked!

[Wooderson]

can you tell me more please,i fancy some of that.

[TheNewUnion]

If hoping can make this happen, I'm hoping like hell. Would be truly awesome.

[toffeeal68]

Theres a lot of half-promised beers on this forum every year - admittedly from me aswell.

However.

If Rodgers gets to play "Good Times" at Glastonbury Festival this year - i'm buying mate.

NEIL!

Do us all a favour & get "Nile Rodgers & CHIC" up on the rumours.

This is not a drill, people!!

[toffeeal68]

In fact might as well get Earth Wind and Fire on as well :-)

[Wooderson]

From Nile on Twitter to a question today bout appearing at Glastonbury next year:

"I'll have my people check into it today. Thanks! I've been so caught up in writing new music, I simply forgot. Oops."

[Wooderson]

*bumpiñho*

Nile Rodgers & CHIC announce a second night (Sat 29th) in Dublin in May.

Keepin' the faith for June.
