eFestivals Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Personally think they're big enough to headline the Other Stage. Would be a triumphant return!last time I saw them they were headlining a festival with around 4,000 people there, so I reckon you might be over-playing it.Mind you, it's the same for James, too.

neil999 Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 If they headline the park, we'd have to have an efests meet there shame russy wont be ablE to maKe it...he'll be at foo fighters(handing out leaflets saying 'THIS BAND IS TERRIBLE, PLEASE GO ELSEWHERE FOR YOUR OWN SAKES') OR SIMILAR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mardy Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 strange really, cos Gruff is doing well enough with the current stuff. He seems engaged with it, and happy with it. Getting back together doesn't really make a lot of sense, on the face of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting back together doesn't really make a lot of sense, on the face of it. Well he's done this american interior thing to death now so I presume he wants a new project. May as well get the band back together, it's not like they all fell out. I would rather be in a band than go solo I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Shanty Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 jp or a park? whats the difference in capacity? always thought the parks capacity was a difficult one to gauge.. It's pretty small I'd have thought. A few thousand, although I suppose it depends how far back you consider part of the field capacity... if that makes any sense!

CaledonianGonzo Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Difficult one to place. Gruff headlined The Park on his todd a couple of years back, but apparently it was tumbleweeds. It'd be my preference - probably. Though obviously not clashing with someone incredible headlining elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFA toured incessantly for a decade and were pretty prolific, whereas Portishead left people wanting more. Just in general too. Social media may not be the best thing to use as an example at times, but the amount of interest in Portishead eclipses the interest in SFA. Maybe the young 'uns prefer Portishead to SFA though, which I understand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClementsMike Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 I was hoping to see the return of SFA. Is the renion linked with Howard Marks? I think he often quoted them to be his fave band, and they are reuniting for a fundraiser/awareness gig for him/his illness, I 'think'.

CaledonianGonzo Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Shows how out of touch I am. As much as I can't really imagine the pop kids getting down to Slow Life, I'd have thought that the same also held true for the third Portishead album.

All of the members will be there bar Guto - so even if something ends up happening onstage I dunno if that is the SFA event or events that seems to be happening.

It's blocked here so I can't check, but their official website is still - pretty much - Hey Venus! vintage.http://www.superfurry.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
