Can we stop stanning Kraftwerk for West Holts? This aint me hating. I just reckon they’d be better suited to JP

Get out!

Orbital were great this summer at Brighton Racecourse. Not that big on their studio stuff, but it was a proper heavy techno set live.

They were great at The Downs in Brizzle too

Abstract Orchestra, out of Leeds, a hip-hop big band, seemingly specialising in the tunes of J Dilla and MF Doom

I’m not sure if they’d have him and Orbital headlining in the same year as their headliners are normally a bit more varied than that, but I saw Jon Hopkins last night and he was fantastic. Would love to see that set headlining West Holts one night.

saw them this summer, thought they were superb.

But more importantly, Mr West Holts also saw them - so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Any chance of Thievery Corporation? Two newish albums, great back catalogue and they are on tour.

They have been excellent each time I've seen them, including last weekend. Pretty much perfectly suited for West Holts. Glad to hear I am not the only one who feels that way, fingers crossed as well

He certainly wouldn't have Swifty's problem with staging his show on the Pyramid, it's so minimalist, not even amps on stage, and all musicians carry their instruments around with them. Great show! Just whether he's getting it back on the road next year I guess. Keep praying!

Went to see Soul II Soul last night at Liverpool Philharmonic. Would love to see them on West Holts on a sunny afternoon.

I would be loving that. Saw them at Parklife a few years back. Last act I could watch in peace before I flee'd like a fool. Cracking on West Holts. Obviously in the sunshine.

Yep she was and a singer called Charlotte who featured on some of the later albums.

Went to see David Byrne last night at Leeds Arena. An incredible night and an instant top 5 ever gig for me!

Setlist was fantastic. Stage performance was epic.

Really hope he brings this to Glastonbury

Off to see the bold Davie tonight at the hometown show.

he's from Dunfermline, not Glasgow.

And you call yourself a fan?

Although I doubt the good people of Dumbarton consider themselves part of Glasgow either ?

It's all one big conurbation anyway.

By which I mean the entire central belt.

lots of greenery between Glasgow and Edinburgh last time I drove along there, tho that was 10+ years ago now. Can't believe it's changed that much.

We lay claim to Nazareth, The Skids, Big Country and Barbara Dickson. But not, sadly, David Byrne.
