Blues Acts

[The Dawg]

I need my fix of Blues this year after seeing almost none last year.

So far I have heard self confirmed acts like;

Ollie Brown http://www.myspace.com/oliblues

Aynsley Lister http://www.myspace.com/aynsleylister

King King http://www.myspace.com/kingkingblues

See yas at the front.

Nice.

I don't think Buddy Guy in 2008 will be beaten this year, but I'd love to see any of the following:

BB King

Clapton (with Winwood?)

George Thorogood and the Destroyers (diiiiirrrrrrrrrtttty Blues)

Mark Knopfler

[Jailbreak]

I think a lot of blues players are playing the crossroads festival with Clapton over in America that weekend, which is a shame, but the blues band have self confirmed, I saw them last year and they're really really good, wood deffinately recomend Aynsley Lister as well!

[When Jokers Attack]

I Want BB King!

[Langdale Wolf]

Yeah BB King would be amazing but I still think George would be GREAT fun.

Come on - who wouldn't love to hear this:

[Wooderson]

Buddy was epic. In the top 5 things ive seen at GF.

[whisty]

[Tugger2k]

Agreed. Probably the 2nd best act I've seen at Glasto. I don't need to tell you who my favourite ever performance was.

[Wooderson]

steve bull played glasto?

[Langdale Wolf]

George is great live..

seen him a few times, but kind of gave up as he's pretty much the same every time... great though

[glastofreak]

I'd love to know if its SB that holds up that ubiquitous f*cking flag every year.

[TheBigJT]

I just saw Keb Mo in January...I think he'd go over well

Other suggestions:

Bonnie Raitt

Kim Wilson (of the Fab. Thunderbirds)

Jackie Greene

Coco Montoya

Derek Trucks (playing Crossroads with the Allman Bros that weekend, but awesome live)

Joe Bonamassa

Jonny Lang

Ruthie Foster

Susan Tedeschi

Kenny Wayne Sheppard

Excelllent list, i saw Susan Tedeschi many years back at a Bishopstock Blues Festival near Exeter, would really love to see her along with Derek Trucks on Jazz World.

You excellent have taste in music

[Craig_G]

And these - more funk though

[YouWhat]

Absolutely. He's played plenty of Bluesy stuff. I know he's not predominantly a Blues artist, but he's certainly got some Blues influence.

Anyway, be it Blues, or more of his folk/country style, he'd be a fantastic addition to the Jazzworld Stage.

[Langdale Wolf]

I agree he would be good on the Jazz Word,not on his own though. I think i would ike to see him alongside the likes of Robert Cray or Clapton......Never will happen though. I would imagine Eavis has never heard of many on the list either.

[Dark Star]

[The Klumpster]

Spot on about Buddy Guy, great finish to a day in which I also managed to catch Eric Bibb and Seasick Steve.

Anybody heard of a guy called Ian Parker, who also does a great version of 'Almost Cut My Hair'. Fook, he can play the blues! Remember the first time I saw him and couldn't believe the noise that was comin from this young indie lookin kid (some time ago admittedly). If he played anywhere at anytime at Glasto, I'm pretty sure I'd be there.

[TG24]

The Black Keys would be an awesome shout!

Robert Randolph and the Family Band would be epic also
