UEF Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 Chain Reaction featuring Barry Gibb, calling it now Come to think of it, that man’s written another big legends slot song in recent years... can anyone name it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
char90 Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 (edited) This is a great legend booking. I’ve gone from assuming Barry Manilow and assuming I’ll be elsewhere to absolutely thrilled. I was expecting her in 2017 so great to see they’ve finally got her. Also surely this is the earliest announcement ever? Was not expecting that this morning! Edited October 10, 2019 by char90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrelarmy Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 So where does this leave Macca? Can’t see him being a headliner so obviously a no show for this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swelsbyuk Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 (edited) Wonder if Lionel will pop back for a quick duet? https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/diana-ross-official-top-40-most-played-songs__25901/ Edited October 10, 2019 by swelsbyuk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrongturn Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 Diana Ross is the perfect legend slot booking. After being rather cynical of these things previously - the joy of Lionel and Dolly persuaded me otherwise. DR will smash it. Bigger crowd than Dolly?

He tried to turn up when I opened a new jar of coffee this morning. Be amazed if he doesn't appear for at least one track. If Bazza appears for Chain Reaction too, you might see a grown man finally explode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cure last year was a bit of a damp squib when they ended wasn’t it No. And it was this year.

I mean, they're the same era, had a final song people know about the same time in the mid-80s, and if anything Diana's got more "known" tracks if you chuck in the Supremes-era stuff as well. Aside from Hello and Dancing on the Ceiling, a lot of people didn't have loads of Lionel tracks in their minds before the set. A lot of people I spoke to were amazed at how many they knew afterwards. Could go either way, but I really wouldn't be amazed by it being in the same ball park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
