Gil Scott-Heron

[OneLittleFish]

He's playing at Ether festival - what are the chances of Gil Scott-Heron playing this year?

Would love to see him in the evening - perhaps even the sunset slot - on Jazzworld, kick back with a pint of cider and listen to a total genius - would be stunning.

[souldancer]

Exactly. I never dreamed I'd actually get the chance to see him live.

[fowls]

WOW... just wow. I'll be there no matter who else is playing.

[ninja-style]

NOTHING will make me miss this.

Headline Jazzworld Saturday night whilst Coldplay are on?

Yes Please.

[MartinGooding]

So excited about this, had Aint No Such Thing As a Superman on last night, its going to be special

[OneLittleFish]

This will only be my second Glasto but it's more than likely I'll have seen more legends in my two years than my four at TITP

Why couldn't I have started attending Glasto sooner?

[Winston Legthigh]

[Dark Star]

Now Playing - Gil Scott-Heron - I'm New Here 2010

For me this new album is very good.

I really hope this isn't just a rumour. Somebody has already threatened my life if it doesn't happen

This year's Crosby Stills and Nash for me

(Going from 'vaguelly aware of' at Xmas to 'familiar with entire back catalogue' by time of Glasto)
