gigpusher Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 I'd love to see Little Simz headline West Holts next year. Think it'd be amazing for her and us (if I'm lucky enough to get a ticket!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted April 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 Pyramid for Simz! Did anyone see her on WH a few years back? I missed it, but I seem to remember hearing she struggled a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed it, but I seem to remember hearing she struggled a bit. I thought she last played the Park? I was torn between a Pyramid slot and a headline slot. I can see the value of both but would personally love her as a headliner to see her going for it after dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always amuses me that Humpty Dance makes it into the audition medley for Sing, obviously the crocodile stops before he starts calling fat girls ticklish or whatever but still.

gigpusher Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 Not sure where she'd fit but an early slot on West Holts would be quite nice for Yasmin Williams. She'd be great for a lazy Sunday (sunny fingers crossed!) morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see why not if you look at him in the context of the Playground Festival line up http://images.sk-static.com/images/media/img/col6/20201126-223501-479841.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw her at the Park last time and it was a different performance that is for sure, absolute sublime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalopsia Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 Just now, Ddiamondd said: His new album is really strong. I'd actually see more of a high JP slot being likely, maybe even Other. Think he's a touch too dark for WH and Pyramid. But has bangers and will draw people in. I need to check that out then, need some new music to refresh my current rotation, I'd definitely be drawn in. He'd put on a decent light show so JP could work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seen rumblings from Questlove et al that this one is ready to go. What we need is a full album's worth of this sort of fire: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bare in mind this was when it was just her and her DJ and yet to release Stillness in Wonderland and Grey Area. She was very much still finding her feet but still good to see her. Seen her since at the Roundhouse and she was fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Mdou in a tiny club in Edinburgh a few years back and it was pretty odd. He played 20 minutes or so then left the stage, walked through the crowd and into a venue back room where he stayed for the rest of the performance, only coming back out to join his band for the last couple of numbers.

Brave Sir Robin Posted April 24, 2021 Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 (edited) So much great jazz around at the moment, a lot of it from right here in Blighty, but Moses Boyd should be near the top of the list. And he can bring 'SW2' along too (with whom this slinky funky number is a collaboration): Edited April 24, 2021 by Brave Sir Robin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
