I know with certainty that there's 8 WH acts in the first announcement. I don't know who any of those acts are with any certainty, apart from Kamasi Washington.

Gucci Piggy Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 James Blake, EWF, Kamasi Washington, Gregory Porter, Rokia Traoré, Baaba Maal, Ernest Ranglin and Floating Points for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennyhana22 Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Any Adult Jazz fans on here besides me? One of my favourite bands, and their LP was 2014 AOTY for me. New mini-LP coming later this month and I wondered about them as an outside bet for WH... Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS: it's not impossible that it ends up being 9, as WH still had one act to book when I was told 8 had been announced. That last act might end being an act from another stage, and if they've been announced for that other stage it would increase the WH number to 9. (just covering my arse by mentioning that possibility). Edited May 6, 2016 by eFestivals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Holts seems like the perfect fit for him Nope, no real ideas on that one. From a conversation I had I think there's probably something to it rather than him not playing - but that's much more about me taking a big leap on the basis of almost nothing than it is anything that was actually said.; If it had been all-cock-up and no truth i suspect the conversation would have gone a little bit differently.

Brave Sir Robin Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) Fans of funky jazz/world may be interested in percussionist Lekan Babalola, who's played with everyone from Miles Davis to Fela Kuti, and who's playing the Avalon Cafe at 1.30 on the Friday with his 'Sacred Funk Project'.

danbailey80 Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 Could we get a separate announcement and poster for West Holts this year? I know it hasn't happened for a few years, but always welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rikkirascal Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Floating Points could also be on The Park... Possible sub headliner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probs on West Holts Long time lurker here, but this announcement deserves my first post. Nearly jumped out of the bath and tiggered! Possibly one of the best gigs I've had a long time back was The Apples, so much energy, I've not sweated and bounced so much before or after. Scratching Jazzy Funk! This is A Baz Luhrmann moment for me. Edited May 11, 2016 by Evilmonkeydan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Article in a jazz magazine seemed to know his stage and time as being WH before the headliner, but mid Pyramid seems far more appropriate giving he only played WH last year so I'm inclined to agree with you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
