West Holts

[Alcatraz]

Last year Sunday was Disclosure

What about Deamau5 this year?

No way. The stage that's always best exhibited live musicianship putting a guy playing with his iTunes isn't going to happen

Can see myself being at West Holts a lot this year.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Though still no sign of Ibibio Sound Machine maybe playing....

[FuzzyDunlop]

Can see myself being at West Holts a lot this year.

Me too. So far it's 2/2 for headliners meeting my approval. As it stands I'll be there both nights.

SFA headlining the Park would sway me though. I still have a feeling something in the Silver Hayes or Glade will get my attention one night

[Jakkkkobz]

Liz Warfield(Prince Protege & Backing singer) and the NPG Hornz tour Europe beginning with Montreux Festival on 3rd of July, would not be surprised to see them on West Holts after the acclaim she has received for her album.

I've always thought Erykah Badu would be a great headliner for West Holts.

Yeah I want to see SFA too. West Holts and The Park are my two favourite areas. What a great 5 days Glastonbury Festival is

I've always thought Erykah Badu would be a great headliner for West Holts.

absolutely, i'd love to see her.

her gigs outside the US are few and far between unfortunately, not exactly plentiful inside it either.

[Jakkkkobz]

Not quite Erykah Badu, but Neneh Cherry is playing Shangri La which may be of interest to those of a West Holts orientation.

[Tuna]

Wonder if she'll bring along RocketNumberNine.

Would be good. Saw here in Brighton a couple of months ago and was excellent.

They tweeted a Efests user on here Emma(I think) saying just for you then confirmed Neneh Cherry, she posted on it on one of these threads, but it seems they have deleted the tweet https://twitter.com/shangrilaglasto/status/588296895530987520. They have also said Annie Nightingale and Hospital Records to different people.

George Clinton review.

There ain't no party like a P Funk party.

It will be amazing and I shall be nowhere else but West Holts after tonight in Bristol.

Simply Brilliant

[Winslow Leach]

I mean, obviously it would never happen, but imagine The Mothership on the Hell Stage at 3 in the morning...

[sinhala]

I like the official advice from Bristol Academy for last night's gig :-

"George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic may perform anything from 1.5 hours to 2.5 hours, sometimes for even longer !"

They started at 7pm and ended at 9.30.......... and that is only as there is a 10pm curfew to clear the building so they can prepare it to be a nightclub.

They would have played all night if they were allowed.

Did Michael Hampton play guitar on Maggot Brain ?

Now add all the great Sly & The Family Stone songs to that mix and think of just how brilliant and vast a pool of songs they have to choose from.

That is a good question - I think he might have done but I was very busy funking.

There were loads of them on stage as well so got hard to tell who was doing what.

Hell Yeh as George likes to say.

[MEGABOWL]

I fancy this Mothership Returns malarkey but have to admit I'm a bit in the dark. is it one big collaborative set and if so how long is it likely to be?

I sort of assumed they'd form one mammoth supergroup performing a mix of Parliament-Funkadelic and Sly & The Family Stone songs, with Clinton filling both his own role and Sly's. Could be wrong but that would seem to make the most sense. No idea about set length, if that's how they're doing it they'll have a hell of a lot of material to pick from!

Yeah a lot indeed! That's what I was guessing but either way it's an intriguing prospect
