'Female, not British' artist for Sunday legend slot

[bamber]

This may be my personal favourite BTW. Bona Fide Legend in every possible sense. Unique, Grace Jones, Jamaica.

She can get in the sea as well along with the other two.

Shania for the The Drunk Auntie At A Wedding slot.

Has anyone mentioned Chaka Khan? or not Legend enough?

I think she's come up more as a WH headliner than a legends slot. 

In terms of big songs, which is kind of the legends benchmark I think(?), you're looking at I'm Every Woman, Feel For You and Ain't Nobody, so maybe not quite there for the Sunday camping chair crowd.

A Saturday night of funk on Holts however....now you're talking.

She’d be an amazing WH headliner. She has a new (really good) song out too so could well be touring next summer?

[fatyeti24]

Like Sugar is fluffin' amazing.  The little production tweaks on it means it'll sound dated in about 5 minutes from now, but still, brilliant stuff.  I'd be all over a WH spot.

Cher is apparently making an album of Abba covers. Would make for a weird Legends slot if she's just singing a bunch of abba songs lol

album out in September, seems she was in the Mama Mia film sequel, hence doing an album.

her own tracks, a couple of Abba covers/medley thrown in, enough cheese there to entertain the Pyramid field/TV audience for an hour.

The dream for me would be Nancy Sinatra. Fantastic run of vintage fromage hits in the 1960’s/1970’s, albeit a lot of them were collaborations. Emily started following her on Twitter last year. Probably not a big enough draw for that slot though, but would love to see her somewhere at GF. That’s assuming she’s still performing - she’s a bit long in the tooth.

Shes nearly 80 and long retired. Her mum died last week. Aged 101.

Just wait until the 2019 weather thread starts.  These are just warning shots at the moment.

Might be time for this soon actually?!

[henry bear]

Is there really a need for a 2019 weather thread? We all know what it’s going to be like.

I could almost go for catastrophic climate change if it meant late June was always dry.

Good point - Buys shares in Quecha Fresh & Black

[Gnomicide]

Can't buy any shares - @stuartbert two hats has already bought them all.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Shares in survival blankets may well be the smarter move - for all possible scenarios.

Would be absolutely loving that. Come On Over is an excellent album. She has a superb voice too. Can't see it happening at all though.

Sooner have her over Madge personally.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Madonna isn't doing the teatime slot.

I don't see Shania Twain getting the Legends slot, I'd see her getting a slot but not that one.

And I'd 100% have Madonna over her but I don't dislike Shania
