Top 20 predictions

[Flaminglippy]

is the stage set up good enough for the chemicals live show?

Yeah, can't see any reason why not.

Elbow, Mondays and Chems!

[kingmonkey1980]

1 right anyway the Mondays

[Flaminglippy]

1 right anyway the Mondays

Suede! Did not see that coming!

[thurlow84]

Happy with what been announced so far....will be owing a pint though

[Flaminglippy]

Yeah...wonder who's not headlining then. Frank Truner and Suede are, so maybe Mondays and De La Soul subbing

[Comfy Bean]

If you fail to trouble the scorer are you exempt

[eddiepolio]

My point for The heavy surely has to be the most inspired guess????? #cheesin

[thurlow84]

Got 5 so far but im a bit disappointed because i was sure i had frank turner and the heavy on my list but guess i never put them up on hear......still plenty more acts to come i reckon though

[ramragon]

Half asleep after another night at work so when i get a day off over the weekend I'll go through the lists and see where people stand. Any further announcements will count as well

[ramragon]

Finally had time to sort out the pediction guesses !

As usual dont shoot me if ive missed anything, send me a message on here and I'll update it, as per the usual rules ive not included the bands that appear virtually every year, if they were allowed then every bugger would have the hotpots, craig charles, riot jazz band etc on their list so its easier to discount them.

the initials in brackets are who I scored for you, as usual I'll adjust as the line up progresses.

6. Thurlow (hm, c&b, tld, tlw, t&t, fc)

5.Obiginnaw (s, hm, c&b, to, dp)

4.walkforever (dp, hm, c&b, ms)

Ramragon (hm, to, a, nf)

Emandjay (jg, ft, c&b, s )

3.TAinsworth (f, c&b, cb)

Kevd108 (2m, mk, dls)

Sisterpsychosis (dls, c&b, dp)

Bexj (s, hm, tld)

Dazthehammer (ocs, c&b, ft)

2.PooleyJP (a, jb)

Goes to show we're still pretty bad at guessing the kendal calling line up.....though i think im on 2 more than last years winning score

[Pooly JP]

I'm just glad i got at least one this year.

[bottonrob]

Nil Point! and I think I was lucky to get that.

Mr Thurlow I owe you pre-Craig Charles ale sir. Please, in the real ale tent, can you adorn the plumage of the Congo Peafowl so I know who you are?

[ramragon]

Theres still time yet, admittedly from a 0 score its a big ask !

Youll recognise thurlow, he'll be the one with 20 beers lined up in front of him

[Emandjay]

Hey hold on a cotton picking minute. I had Suede as well so my score should be four. (see my post on 3 March).

There's big prizes at stake here so every point counts.

[ramragon]

It's updated, sorry for the mistake, like I said if anyone needs their score updating just let me know, done what I can using my mobile an a pencil and paper !

Thanks Ramragon. This is a serious competition so I'm glad you've taken on the responsibility to keep the score.

I'm sure there would have been some cheating otherwise.

Cheating ?! Surely not.

Did our German friend not come up with 20 predictions ? Where is Flash anywayz ? Last I heard he was working on his Frank Turner impressions " Oooooh Betty "

[ramragon]

Nah, nee entry from flach this year, although his predictions may have been better than Yellow.OdD.soCKs bizarre rantings !

I miss old yellow.

Looks like Chvrches chose a different career path this summer than the appearances at Kendal and Wickerman that I was predicting. I`m normally right on the money with these things as well

The crowd always look asleep from what I`ve seen on youtube over the years no matter who is playing ( don`t think you are allowed drink in front of the stages ) so going by this video they seem to have went down well with the Yanks.

I've just noticed I'm bottom of the predictions table. I spent days on that list ! And I really thought I had nailed it.. I'm still confident I can get out of the relegation slots with the later announcements, is the loan market still open? I'm looking to swap New Order, Rudimental and the Kaisers for a few jobbing '3rd on the bill' acts.

Saw Jimi Goodwin last night supporting Elbow, great show, it will be rammed in the Calling Out for him I imagine. And Elbow are the ones who got away, they would have been a fantastic sunday night headliner at Kendal.

Still, the sun is out, and it will be a great festival. I'd imagine another decent sized announcement in mid-summer filling up the afternoon slots ?

Yeah...still hoping for The Wind-Up Birds! You doing the 2nd album launch in Leeds Gloves?? Got Racket Ball on as well. Looking like a top night. Booked the week off. Seeing them Tuesday in London and Thursday in Leeds.

Was chatting to them a few weeks ago...they're up for Kendal but haven't been asked...yet. New stuff sounds great.

Also still hoping for Jimmy Cliff, We Are Scientists, Jurassic 5, bit more indie to pad it out. Couple more decent names I'll be happy.

I think the Calling Out will be rammed for all the headliners this year.

Don't think I'll get to the album launch Lippy. I've got Frank Skinner and The Three Johns that week (not both together, although I wouldn't say no), so I think Thursday will be a designated recovery night ! Saw them at Holbeck WMC a couple of months ago and the new stuff sounded nice and sharp (although Tyre Fire was still the best song.. ). If they don't play Kendal I'm hoping they'll play Long Division, which is announced tomorrow night.
