West Holts/Jazz World Line-up

[Langdale Wolf]

Daphne Clarke from Neighbours is dead.

[Wanderlei]

Only if all you know are pop bands. And clearly, all you know are pop bands.

This is the chance for you to stop being a teenager and to blossom into adulthood

[bazakin]

Okay, George Clinton is better than The Streets. Fact. Got it. I thought that might be subjective, but...anyway, Anything else i should know?

[Zacko]

What horrible clashes.

Mos f**king Def....GEORGE f**kING CLINTON...Toots...

This lineup is gonna kill me with the choices I'm gonna have to make.

[Wanderlei]

Well that's my dilemma! Stevie or Rod & Gab????

I hope the TBC is Prince Buster or BB King. If it's one of them i'll be happy.

Good to see Mos Def there but I'm going to have to give him a miss due to the clash with U2

[Langdale Wolf]

You must be kidding! Jimmy Cliff is an absolute legend and i have something very personal against anyone who dismisses him as pop!

I meant 'pop' with it's true meaning - popular.

Just because something is popular doesn't make it good. e.g: Westlife.

And similarly, just because something is unknown to you doesn't make it crap.

While some of what's on that stage is to my mind hugely over-rated aural torture (including stuff that's got fame by being championed by a certain person despite thinking the band is shit ), anyone w3ith half a musical brain is able to see it's a far stronger line-up overall than there's been on that stage for quite a few years.

Chali 2na, Mos Def and Brother Ali? I think im liking this new Jazz World

[Wanderlei]

I apologise for my difference in musical tastes. We know that Glastonbury is all about discouraging differences in people and forming prejudist opinions about people based on very little information

Stereotyping people is a huge timesaver. I only like popular music and nothing like Prince Buster, Nick Drake, Tom Waits, Patti Smith and Hasil Adkins. FACT. It's a relief to get that off my chest.

New member long time reader.

Absolutely delighted with this lineup , although kinda dissapointed its only one stage.

Mos Def is a stunning announcement, Femi Kuti before him means my firday night entertainment is already sorted. Nothing will top that.

The Sunday promises to be an absolute nightmare Rodrigo y Gabriella and Toots vs Stevie Wonder and possibly faithless.

In an ideal world id like to see Stevie and Toots but its nice to stick around a certain area, especially for the last two acts. Id love to see both the other 2 altough there is no way im missing Mr Wonder.

Also happy with Dr John who will be brilliant.

George Clinton is interesting as well, love a bit of funk but I kinda feel the same way about him and Muse, they are possibilities, id like someone mind blowing on another stage to remove the possibilities.

Pixies headlining the other stage on Saturday please

[BlackHole2006]

Absolutely brilliant line up and a huge step up from last years.

Cannot wait to see: Toots and The Maytals and The Bees. But I am listening to some George Clinton too so that I have something to look forward to on the Saturday if the Pixies rumour doesn't come off.

[Sondie]

Femi Kuti, Matthew Herbert Big Band, George Clinton, Jerry Dammers, Phenomenal Handclap Band, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Toots & The Maytalls, Dr John, Tunng.....

Amazing lineup.

I've picked the wrong year to quit festivals....

Have fun everyone

Why not try the musical exploration angle, rather than only seeing the same bands you've seen before and will get the chance to see loads of times again?

Of course everything is subjective, and it's all about what you like at the end of the day.

But if you're opening gambit is "I know loads about music, and I've never heard of all these legends, they musn't be as good as Jamie Cullum" then unfortunately you'll get short shrift

if that rumour does come off then I can tell you now it's more exciting listening to their records. They're the band that the words 'only ever average' were invented for.

So go for George instead. You won't regret it. You *WILL* regret the Pixies.

[henduil]

I didnt really expect much from this stage which is lucky because i didnt get anything. One stage i can cross off my list

If Pixies are there, i'm at whatever stage they're at

Ah the Bees are playing, tremendous
