Bobby Womack to headline West Holts

[dondo]

Cracking news. I was a bit meh about Sunday night but all sorted now

[mail1234]

Wow brilliant, the 3 headliners + the weeknd are massive bookings for west holts

[markm69]

Please let the Beat rumour come true.

[strangetown]

Well pleased with this news. Looks like Sunday is sorted now for me!

[rexclark]

Quite interested in this. It's between him and Phoenix for me now.

[char90]

glad the weeknd is still around (even though I'm seeing him in November) but also pleased he's not headlining as I never saw him as headliner...thought it was an odd choice to end on. and that's coming from a massive fan of the weeknd! looks like he'll be subbing chic now though which is amazing.

[jimmyt]

Are we sure about when Public Enemy are playing still? Didn't Chuck D tweet something about playing before Chic and we all dismissed it as nonsense? Or do we actually know that he was being daft?

[When Jokers Attack]

Not impressed by this performance here at all...

On the other hand. I could listen to this one all day...

Anyone on here actually seen him live lately, Verdict?

[FloorFiller]

so as far as West Holts headliners and their subs, i reckon

Chic - The Weeknd

Public Enemy - Major Lazer

Bobby Womack - Seasick Steve

probably makes the most sense / is what i'm hoping for so i can see The Weeknd

[Zoo Music Girl]

Ah, I do know a few songs by him! Across 110th Street. Brilliant.

Really looking forward to this actually. Seems a good way to finish up, plus two headliners on West Holts when I've never seen one there before. Reckon it'll be pretty damn busy on the Friday and Sunday though.

Can't believe Bobby went from page 1 ! , i've been having a Womack mormimg a WOW how i had forgot. During the late 70's and early to mid 80'd i have a soul boy thing going on, the likes of Teddy Pendergrass, Lou Rawls, George Benson, Luther Vandross and Bobby were all contants as were the legend that is Stevie W. I had forgotten how much i knew and hadn't listened to him for years really. Now i am showing my age here I can't wait to see him. Though ageing i know, if he can belt out half a tune as he used too, and i have seen him on Jools recently, with that big orchestra behind him, he willl be epic!

What are the chances that either he joins the Stones on Stage for It's All Over Now given that he originally wrote and recorded it before they had it as their first number 1?

Am now just listening to new album.....blimey it's impressive!

We'll defo be there on Sunday night.

Just hope he lives that long.

There's definitely a touch of the Gil Scott Heron about it.

Glasto really isn't top of class this year for bookings. Two weeks ago Bobby Womack's appearance at Glasters was his only scheduled date in the UK this year. Now Latitude has announced him too.

I've no issue with his appearance at another festival. But why make the point about the exclusivity? Makes them look twatty at worst and naive at best.

Bobby Womack documentary on BBC Four tonight at 9pm. Thought I'd give you all a heads up!

I watched this,I didn't know he did across 110 tenth street,I have to go and see this.

That's my Sunday headliner sorted.

[Big Vern]

Indeed he did. Trouble os now though you get an old mans weak voice doing a softer version, which kinda spoils it for me as i totally love the original version. Still be there though as his last album was amazing

[Mr.Tease]

And it's likely the last chance you'll get to see him- not sure how long he can keep touring with Alzheimer's. horrible horrible disease, I used to do some care work with someone suffering from it and my aunt suffered greatly with it until she died.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Has anyone heard his BW does C&W album? Worth acquiring?
