Candi Staton

[Badlands]

At my first Glastonbury I was luck to stumble upon Candi Staton playing JazzWorld on a blistering hot Friday afternoon. She was immense, great personality, cracking voice and some belting tunes.

I suggest that those having a moan at the lineup have a pop over to the Park when she's playing and get yo' disco down!!

[bombfrog]

She's not on the line-up for this year, is she?

"Glastonbury Festival organisers have announced that Rolf Harris will open the Pyramid Stage on Friday, June 26, with Tinchy Stryder doing the same on Saturday and Yeovil Town Band following suit on Sunday, June 28.

Rolf whom we bumped into at Glasto last year recently celebrated his eightieth birthday and returns for his sixth Festival appearance, whilst Tinchy makes his Pyramid debut, having previously performed at the Dance Village. Yeovil Town Band appear for the first time since 2005.

Candi Staton, Avi Buffalo and Tony Allen have also been added to the just announced Park Stage, along with the 20-piece steel band Steel Harmony."

Where did you see that. I read the announcement on the official site but didn't see it.

[bombfrog]

"as well as the openers for the Pyramid Stage they also reveal new additions for the Park Stage line-up including Candi Staton, Avi Buffalo, Tony Allen, and 20-piece steel band Steel Harmony"

Not sure when she will be on though

I can confirm that I saw this too, so it must have been removed. Probably released by accident, I hope so. Superb last time, Florence fans please note that this is how to sing.

I really want to catch Candi Staton, but don't think I've ever managed to get to a stage by 11.00 before...

[Ponyegg]

Hearing Candi is playing has made my day, she was great the other year, brought a tear to my eye singing Young Hearts, a welcome return.

More Soul, Funk & Disco please, can't we dig out the Salsoul Orchestra for one last outing?
