David Celia

Dear E-Festivals

I have an add to the Glastonbury line-up list.

It's Canadian artist David Celia, who will be playing on the 25th and 26th on an unknown stage ( although last year he played the Mandala and Tadpole stages in the Green Fields). He'll be accompanied by Joan Besen on keyboards, former member of double platinum country rock band Prairie Oyster, and an award winning songwriter in her own right. David is also has impeccable pedigree, with 3 solo records under his belt, and numerous tours worldwide.

I met him and Joan last year, when they played a set in the King Arthur pub in Glastonbury town (to 6 people!) on the Wednesday after the festival. Brilliant stuff, ranging from straight country, to blues rock, to heavy psychedelia, to playing any requests from the room (including a Hendrix style version of the Canadian national anthem)...

They were happy to have a drink and chat way after the gig ended, and he came across as a helluva nice bloke. Joan was also real down to earth and unassuming for someone who pretty much has legend status in her home country. Both of em were blown away by the size of Glasto, as it was their first time there.

So I have to ask that they get on your list (please). I think they well deserve it imho

A postscript.

3 great sets from Dave over the weekend, and nice to see Mr Eavis checking out part of the gig at the Tadpole stage on Sunday evening.

Here's a clip of DC playing in Germany during the current tour. Nifty slide guitar intro too !
