[CaledonianGonzo]

I don't think he did for about 30 years, and then he launched a comeback 2 or 3 years back when they issued an expanded version of Inspiration Information.

have you not guessed the whole line-up yet, CalGon? You're slacking this year.

Ah ok, thanks. Such a good album, I'll have to see him somewhere!

Due to Brexit I'm now only interested in indigenous musical styles, like the UKIP Calypso by Mike Read.

Here's a possibility, though - Jah9 is in Germany the following weekend!

Meant to put Cymande also from that lineup, think he's playing Ronnie Scott's soon too

she's in the uk in mid-august too, so I don't think much can be worked from other shows.

True.....but hope springs.

The rather ace Mokoomba (outa Zimbabwe) are playing in London the Sunday beforehand!

Chacka Khan just announce for another festival. Would NOT complain if she headlined on either Sat or Sun.

Playing in New York on the Saturday

I have only come in here to sound my Gladys Knight klaxon.

[eFestivals]

well, I'm now just about convinced that West Holts will have Damian Marley this year.

I know Damian has been on the booker's hit list for a while, and his tourdates have it look like he's in Europe from early June until early July.

Thanks Steve.

Happy for ya, Neil. Hope this still leaves room for Toots somewhere - though preferably not as a headliner but as a nice sunny boogie. But where else but WH? :-s

Where abouts would he play you reckon? Is he headline size?

West Holts probably doesn't have the budget to have a more expensive act above someone like Damian, so my guess would be as headliner.

Fucksticks. She's too old to fly from NY and do a show on Sunday, isn't she?

We can always just amuse ourselves with this. 

 

[SwedgeAntilles]

Ah, #RightBazza's last stand. 

[mjsell]

Chances of Toots? I'm not sure whether to splash out on a ticket to see them at a local gig with the specials. Tickets are quite pricy though so would prefer to have the option of seeing them at glasto.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Reasonable, I'd have thought.  Not played since 2010.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Maybe a wee bit too post punk for the Holts (think The Slits, The Raincoats), but Sacred Paws have got that old highlife / Soweto thing going on.

 

[JoBalls]

The West Holts Facebook page has woken up this evening after its winter hibernation... just updated address details but the fact that they're back again is a good sign! 

[eFestivals]

[CaledonianGonzo]

Yeah - I think that's a healthy indicator that the lads from out of Vic Falls will be there.

This has madde my day, week and year!!

He had to bail out of the 1extra live gig in the Pool end of last year due to storms in Jamaica and i was gutted,

 

Absolutely made up with this and he is deffo headliner material, fantastic live and does a greta medley of his Pops tunes aswell

 

Great news Neil

[CaledonianGonzo]

But will the other members of SuperHeavy be available?
