Something about an artist with ’90 million’ album sales!

I’m all confused. I think my translator has gremlins.

Gabi Ruiz said that he was just looking through the list of artists and that there are 'some' that say that they have sold 90 million discs. He hasn't clarified what 'some' means, so it could be one artist, a band or more than one artist. He has already said something about members of one of the bands already announced playing in a band with members of another band not yet announced and that all three will be playing at the festival. He also said that he has realised that there is another English artist on the bill who started off in the 70's and came to prominence in the 80's, first with a band and then solo. Phew, I'm confused!

BTW, we can probably all rest easy cos Phil Collins started his solo career in 1982!

Is it about now when the Bowie rumours start?

Nick Cave would be great...but he is Australian.

[PastCaring]

The only English artist I can think of that went solo in 1985 is Sting (oh no! ) but Mr PC reckons it could be Julian Cope - which sounds a bit more like it! Regarding the 3 connected bands, how about PIXIES - BREEDERS - THROWING MUSES? No! That sounds tooooo good to be true!

[PastCaring]

Hummmm - Pete Wylie fits the bill and also possibly Pete Murphy....... I've got Mr PC onto the problem now - so he'll be thinking on it all night and probably into the weekend - he likes a mental challenge does Mr PC (and he knows his music)!

Hes not English but Edwyn Collins fits the bill. Orange Juice broke up in 1985 and he is releasing material early this year.

Just a thought.

[PastCaring]

I thought Edwyn Collins was Scottish!

[Hesse]

Band that they have sold 90 million discs: Maybe Pet Shop Boys or John Fogerty (Creedence Clearwater Revival)

[jimmyjimmy4080]

Thats why I started my thread "Hes not English but...." Pay attention at the back ; )

[funkel]

@funkel: But 1975 is already 35 years ago, not 25

"He has already said something about members of one of the bands already announced playing in a band with members of another band not yet announced and that all three will be playing at the festival."

What about Billy Bragg? Male, british solo artist who released his first album 26 years ago, and - regarding what I quoted above - has played with Wilco.

[Cowboy Dan]

Hi guys!

I bought the ticket just yesterday.I'm coming alone (if some of my friends won't change idea).

I hope that Modest Mouse will be added in the line up....

"He also said that he has realised that there is another English artist on the bill who started off in the 70's and came to prominence in the 80's, first with a band and then solo."

This has got to be Paul Weller.

Mr PC thinks maybe Neville Staple - actually, he's not English, but you wouldn't know that unless you Wikipedia him - most of the rest of the description would fit and he is playing at least one festival in the UK during May.
