Moseley Jazz Funk and Soul, 2 weeks after Glastonbury

Obviously Chaka would be great, hoping for Pharcyde and The Comet Is Coming as well

Wonder if Melle Mel will stick around to rap on 'feel for you' with Chaka?

I'd be all over that at Glasto (and Chaka and Sugarhill Gang on their own)!

No sign of any European dates, but feeling this out of Hong Kong.

One to keep an eye on in future years.

Some gems there. I'm getting more and more confident about Crazy P being at G, they have popped up on a lot of lineups in the last few weeks. Would be class.

Lee Fields is fantastic - was introduced to him by Sharon Jones and the DK (RIP)

New Ondatropica album now streaming at http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/latin/7717011/ondatropica-continues-caribbean-cultural-experiment-with-new-album. Perfect for a sunny afternoon on WH.

US tour in April, no European dates yet but fingers crossed they pop up on the farm.

[CaledonianGonzo]

And we already know that their main lady vocalist is at the farm....

Little Steven with a Miami sized Glasto shaped hole in the dates. 

Or something to that effect.

OK just checked, was originally scheduled for Saturday but now moved to Sunday as Southside Johnny and the Asbury Dukes are playing on Saturday there. And they're (Southside Johnny) also playing London on the Thursday of Glasto.

Could we have a New Jersey shore white man soul love in at Glasto?

Oooh imagine getting Fred and Bootsy! Shame The Funky Drummer has passed over to the great breakbeat in the sky.

Looks like they're gonna be in London in (early) June

Yeah, I thought the same.

Was sorry to hear about Clyde's passing the other week, but what a legacy, sampled in over 1000 songs:

Fred and Bootsy and Herbie Hancock, if you don't mind.

[The Nal]

Too much funk to handle today. Motherlode by James Brown on loud in 3....2...1.....

GOOD GAWD!

With Kraftwerk now seemingly ruled out and Craig David being a possibility for the Friday Pyramid afternoon slot, I wonder if this means A Tribe Called Quest are maybe more likely to headline West Holts if they're there?

Are you trying to say that there is only room for one hip hop act on the Pyramid and that act.. is... Craig David?

I really hope this isn't true.

Hey, guys, you know what I listened to today? Solange and The Avalanches and The Jackson 5. That Saturday is going to be amazing, it's going to be glorious sunshine, we'll talk about it for years to come.

Well it was just Professor Green in 2013, so yeah, possibly.

[dentalplan]

Professor Green is a rapper though.
