CaledonianGonzo Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Yeah - it's a heap of fun. And I say that as someone who doesn't usually have much time for Chao and his bongo playing monkey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Don't really have a strong opinion of them tbh - but given that they've the fest played a few times recently (IIRC) I'd tend to gravitate more towards something completely out of the blue.

dentalplan Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Well I was really wondering if they were a suitable candidate but I guess that's affirmative. Similarly it's the kinda thing I would like to see but probably end up missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuartbert two hats Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Incredibly doubtful, but I'd love to see this blasting out over the W Holts field. It practically smells of sunshine at the end. I promise I won't post this on the forum again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalon_Fields Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 What about Regina Spektor? Now she's returned after a long gap, good headliner for West Holts or The Park? Just grabbed pre-sale tickets for her Manchester gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Reporting back from Fred Wesley last night - yeah, they could do it standing on their heads. The Fredster's lung power isn't what it once was and so sometimes his 'bone playing was a little erratic, but the band - made up of ex Blackbyrds and Bootsy associates - were dope and they cram enough fun into the set to make them a banker.

CaledonianGonzo Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 Genre-scrambling Chilean beat slinger Matias Aguayo appears to have formed a new live band, The Desdemonas. No clues yet as I what it's gonna sound like, but it might be worth keeping an eye on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 (edited) And another call for another geriatric Latina currently showing the young uns how it's done with a badass new album. Elza Soares new album is a humdinger. Extraordinary stuff. I think some of the Bixiga 70 lads are involved. Yaas Queen!

CaledonianGonzo Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Also, I think I've already mentioned The Comet Is Coming, but its also worth a wee re-iteration, particularly as I missed their Edinburgh gig on Saturday night.
