No.....but touring the UK in June.

Could show up on the Acoustic though I suppose.

Hope so, they are at the Apollo in Manchester next week, rearranged from last year. Can't make it unfortunately.

Nice to see this on the linup but don't know much other than Make Me Smile and Here Comes the Sun. Any recommendations on where to elaborate?

Yeah their best stuff is split between their albums really. Stick "The Cockney Rebel – A Steve Harley Anthology" on shuffle and you'll get a good selection. Stand out tracks: Sebastian, Psychomodo, Mr Soft, I Believe Love's A Prima Donna, Mr Raffles. A Friend for Life from the recent album is lovely too

Hackney Colliery Band have tweeted they're playing the main Avalon stage on the Sunday.

This looks a great line up from Avalon but no appearance yet of Newton Faulkner on any line up upsets me.

Yeah it would be nice if we could get confirmation of where he'll be so I know where not to be

Funny, I heard Judy Teen by Cockney Rebel on 6 music a couple of days back and thought I need to listen to some more Cockney Rebel, now I have the perfect excuse.

The Mavericks! Wonderful news, their last 2 albums have been ace. 

Really strong showing from Avalon this year. 

Absolutely! They are great live, I presume they will headline and whoever it clashes with I'll be at the Avalon

Oh, it's getting closer now!

Always spend plenty of time at Avalon, whether I plan to or not. Looking forward to enjoying some new to me (and known to me) music there again.

There was a great little band in the Avalon Inn last year during the day playing rock n roll, country sort of stuff. Elvis, Jerry Lee, Cash etc. Would love to catch them again. Nice shelter from the rain.

The Avalon isn't an area I spend much time in. I hope to change that this year.

Finally met Michael last year as he was wandering about outside the Avalon Inn on the Thursday night.

I met Michael outside the Croissant Neuf last year... my mate's comment when she met him "don't you have soft hands for a farmer?" - it's all she could think of saying.

In fact I think I've only ever seen Dreadzone there....!

[CaledonianGonzo]

Heh - he was on the receiving end of some huggies (and maybe even some smoochies) from the contingent of Swiss ladies in our party.

I was all like 'WTF is a Jesca Hoop when it's at home?' and then I realised I actually saw her at 6Music just a few weeks back.

Aine Cahill is an Irish singer songwriter, I've seen a few times she's always great.

Think I saw them, in the Cafe, did an absolute killer version of Walk The Line? 

 

If so, it was JC & The Lockerbillies.

[thewayiam]

@eFestivals any specifics on when Sophie is on? I'm presuming she isn't headlining.

Yep thats them! 

They wandered into the bar and set up and started playing which was nice.

[Guy Incognito]

dunno if this has already been picked up on in this thread but Jesca Hoop is playing the Friday

Chris Jagger of Chris Jagger's Rocking Kronies is Mick's younger brother.

Looks like the older brother got the good genes on all counts...
