Bearded Theory 2012

[Gnomicide]

Bit of a marmite band but Cast are playing Liverpool the following night. I'd go see them.

[Gnomicide]

Playing Manchester MEN the next night - Barry Manilow!

[Ringo_Spar]

Or what about Death in Vegas who are in Liverpool the night before?

[Paul ™]

Good luck anyway guys, certainly not an easy task with just over 4 weeks till the Festival.

Am sure whatever comes out of it, people will still have an amazing time.

So the Levs for 2013 then

[Gnomicide]

On a separate note, when do the stage times get published? If it's more than a few days in advance, I'll have a stab at one of Halvin's marvelous Clashfinders.

[PastCaring]

Buzzcocks? SLF?

[madmick]

No longer a Level playing field eh? Shame as I was looking forward to them.

How about:-

Gandalf Murphy (playing the Acoustic festival on Sun 27th).

Joan Armatrading (playing the same on Sat 26th).

Wilco Johnson.

Elbow.

The Brian Jonestown Massacre.

Frank Turner.

Little Roy.

Easy Star All Stars.

The Wailers.

Miles Kane.

Ian Anderson.

[PastCaring]

I've heard that Elbow cost an arm and a leg these days - ha ha - sorry about the pun!

Let's face it - there is no replacement!

TBH if you got a repeat-style act of some calibre, like NMA, I think we'd undertsand in the circumstances.

If you can pull something out the bag though, and they don't go down like last year's Friday-nighters, then kudos to the famous BT band-bookers.

At least you'll not be worrying about the small things unnecessarily for the foreseeable.

I suggest looking into the availability of Tricky, Tunng, Ozric Tentacles, Flogging Molly, Seth Lakeman or The Proclaimers.

[Gnomicide]

Frank Turner will be in Canada.

Flogging Molly is a good shout. How about The Quireboys?

[Perks]

CARTER USM.........unfortunately Jimbob is touring his novel and solo suffs....he is playing in Reading that night,....shame as Carter would be perfect.....

Flogging Molly would be brilliant also. Great Band. What about the Saw Doctors - quality...

[madmick]

Flogging Molly + 3

Seth & Saw Drs + 1

Alabama Shakes- get em before they get too big!

[Rich BT]

Flogging Molly busy as its Frank Turner.

[Paul ™]

I'll ask for Reef please.

I was going to say that I second the idea of NMA playing again because they really are the only band in a similar vein to Levs that will satisfy some of us!

(of the other folks listed, I hear Flogging Molly are good........... The Proclaimers - nooooooooo- brings back such uncomfortable memories of the 80's ........................)

[rabid]

Or Django Django who are also playing festivals over May

[Paul ™]

That would make rabid very happy indeed!

[rabid]

So yeah.. book someone like Scouting For Girls or Razorlight

[PastCaring]

Don't even think about it ........
