West Holts 2016 - would love to see list

[CaledonianGonzo]

Would be interested in rewatching Gaslamp Killer's "Where's the pain??????" speech again, if anyone got a video of it.

[Gnomicide]

Howsabout Wheatus?

 

 

 

[Spacey]

I would love to see Santana. Have they played in the past?

 

[Brave Sir Robin]

this year, on the friday, i wandered down to watch Gaslamp Killer, but it pissed down, so i went into the West Holts bar, just off to the side, which was predictably heaving.  they were playing that exact Erasure tune and everyone was singing along, even to the high notes.

I was in there, it was great. Good old singalong to Spandau's Gold too - a group of Yanks standing next to us had to ask us what the song was, they'd genuinely never heard of it.

yeah, it was one of those funny moments when the weather changed everybody's plans, cos you can pretty much guarantee not many set off that day planning to do that!

Finally listening to the Sexwitch album.  It's sounding pretty good, if maybe a bit unnecessary when the all the originals exist, I suppose.

Though I dunno whether it'll work better in the dark,  which would rule out the Holts.

I think its been mentioned elsewhere, but HALL & OATES!!! 

Saw The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band open the stage early on Sunday a two years ago. Would love to see them again, but bumped up a few slots.  They were brilliant.  Played the festival on a few other stages but I think West Holts is the one for them.

talking of covers how about Asami Zdrenka?

 

I would love to see Santana. Have they played in the past?

 

i too would love to see them at Glastonbury - not played in the past

Faithless have an album at number 1. I think they'd be a good WH headliner rather than Pyramid sub.

 

I'd love them back.

[LeeGalvin]

Yeah, I'd be up for a Faithless return. West Holts do you think? Or the Other?

[guypjfreak]

i reckon FAITHLESS will play somewhere at glasto this year i dont care where really except if it clashes with ELO or PEARL JAM 

[Sawdusty surfer]

Pogues.

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

Dub Pistols deserve a bump-up from the usual Glade spot for a bigger stage. Always fun

[theboytaff]

I reckon Daptone's new act Saun and Starr would be perfect. In fact, just bring back the Daptone soul revue

[CaledonianGonzo]

You know that Saun and Starr were part of the revue last year, right...?

[sime]

Luscious Jackson on stage 7pm Saturday evening would be perfect

[TheBurns]

After to listening to them on my train home I'd like to see yelle for some daytime dancing at west holts

[dentalplan]

Jamiroquai

[LeeGalvin]

Let's get Glastonbury veterans Aswad back!

[LondonTom]

Dub Pistols deserve a bump-up from the usual Glade spot for a bigger stage. Always fun

Glade suits them so well though...

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

Glade suits them so well though...

I can't argue with that, Thomas

[CaledonianGonzo]

Paging Buddy Guy.  Buddy Guy to Worthy Farm stat. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Gilles Peterson on 6Music just issued a heartfelt plea for Bill Withers to play Glastonbury next year.  To which I can only say "Hells Yeah".

[CaledonianGonzo]

And speaking of Daptones (and Antibalas) he played something by this lot, which got my ears a perking up.

Holy Forest is the brainchild of musician and filmmaker Jon Fine. Wearing a number of hats on this record as producer, instrumentalist and songwriter, he enlisted friends and collaborators on a genre-blending project recorded in The Gambia, NYC, Woodstock and San Francisco.

The seeds of the recording sessions, spanning 3 years, were planted on a trip to the Makasutu Forest, a lush, green wilderness of mangrove swamps that line the River Gambia. While there, Fine connected with legendary griot Tata Din Din Jobarteh and the project was born. 

With an intimate knowledge of music across genres and styles, Fine reached out to a number of critically acclaimed musicians including members of Antibalas, singer-songwriter Morley, Grammy nominated kora master, Youssoupha Sidibe and rising Gambian star ST. Digging even deeper, he brought in BK afro punks No Surrender, Bay area singer Sparlha Swa, and the criminally underrated Harlem soul man, Ed “Preachermann” Holley to craft a collection of songs about love and distance. Holy Forest is 21st century cross-continental roots music.
