West Holts 2016 - would love to see list

[BlackHole2006]

More hip hop please and less acts from

Bongo Bongo land that no one has ever heard of.

Ahh I see. You haven't heard of them so no one else has either. That's probably why there was a crowd of people there to watch them. Because after all, no one has heard of them.

You must not realise, this poster is joking in every post. They're hilarious. Ha ha ha.

Roots Manuva, well overdue a return!

Black Grape will have a new album out and would be perfect for West Holts

[CaledonianGonzo]

Funnily enough - not that we were speaking of it here, but I was reminded of it in the 4 Goes To Glastonbury thread - when I first went in 1995 you heard Reverend Black Grape blasting out absolutely everywhere.

[CaledonianGonzo]

(The Last Men and Women Standing Of) the Buena Vista Social Club have announced that their farewell tour is now stretching out into Spring 2016.

I could feel it.

[Rumblestripe]

Mentioned elsewhere, but Bellowhead would be 'triffic on WH.

[kerplunk]

they had problems getting visas, and also failed to get into the country for WOMAD about a month after Glastonbury (despite having the extra time to get things sorted).

 

I wouldn't hold your breathe for them.

 

Cambodian Space Project were at Womad. I saw them at Taste the World and pretty sure they played their Charlie Gillet slot too.

[Superscally]

Boubacar Traore - the Malian bluesman. Would be ace on a sunny day:

[theDandy]

Earth, Wind & Fire

Its a fantastic tune.

That would be very cool..... Would they headline?

[PiratePete]

Submotion Orchestra are an excellent live band - don't think they've ever played Glastonbury but I'd be chuffed if they got booked and WH would fit them quite well I reckon.

[A Guy Called Matt]

Mentioned elsewhere, but Bellowhead would be 'triffic on WH.

 

Bellowhead will have finished by then - they are on their last ever tour.

[Brave Sir Robin]

Black Grape will have a new album out and would be perfect for West Holts

This would be superb.

Earth, Wind & Fire

 

Is this the 'band' or the 'experience'?

[fatyeti24]

Is this the 'band' or the 'experience'?

The elements.

[wetwipes]

Soul II Soul.  I've never seen them live, but they do turn up at the occasional festival these days.

[FuzzyDunlop]

Asian Dub Foundation?

[Earthwindandfire2205]

Is this the 'band' or the 'experience'?

The band

[rikkirascal]

Dr John!

[CaledonianGonzo]

I've given this some thought, and I'd bloody love to see Erasure on there.

[Gnomicide]

North Misissippee Allstars would be rather splendid.

[arcade fireman]

West Holts must be the most fun stage to book for. No pressure to attract marquee acts but they always manage to pull out some crackers. 

[beadfc]

I'd love to see Vintage Trouble again. St Paul & The Broken Bones would be brilliant. I'm also a huge fan of Ben l'Oncle Soul from France, he'd be a great addition.
