2023 legend slot

[CaledonianGonzo]

I was going to say Charles & Eddie except Eddie Chacon has actually made a comeback that whips ass and noone would blink at seeing him pop up early on West Holts or The Park.

Bonnie Tyler is in the news. Which made me check - she’s on tour and free most of June. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Maybe she's off to Herne Bay for the whelk harvest.

Saw her at Proms in the Park before covid. She got hoisted up in a cherry picker about 50 foot in the air, pissed off her face and crucified total eclipse....on second thoughts that might actually quite entertaining to see again.

It's not though really, is it? 

The bloke literally inspired an anti-racist movement in Rock Against Racism. Why would the festival want to go near him

I'm not sure that this makes any sense

it's Milli Vanilli

I went to see Clapton before I realised about him inspiring Rock Against Racism.  So firstly, I wouldn't see him now because of his views.  But also, it was the most bored I have ever been at a gig.  No engagement with the audience (he literally did not say anything all night).  I would have had more fun staying at home putting a CD on (it was a few years back!).  Wouldn't cross the road to see him.

Tom Jones

John Fogerty is playing Stornoway, Midnight Sun Weekender at the end of may according his own website. He's also doing a festival in the Netherlands early june. More dates to follow but i bet he will be back home when Glastonbury starts ........

Having a "UK Festival Exclusive" in the Outer Hebrides just feels like such a waste.

Ominous...

[Hugh Jass II]

Rod may not be everyone's cup of tea but he would tick a lot of boxes for that slot.

Sharon AND Phyllis on the same day?

I wouldn't be massively fussed, would think about popping along if nothing else was on and the kids wanted a break.

As I've said he probably fits the criteria better than anyone else mentioned recently.

Does this date make him the front runner now?

I really think it does. A 60-year career, selling over 250 million records worldwide, 10 number one albums and 31 top-ten singles in the UK, 6 of which reached number one. I reckon that's as good as anything available. 

[kalifire]

Fuck it, let's go all in. No women whatsoever this year. Not on any stage, anywhere.

[Padjeq]

That's some prime positioning for the Rodder, you gotta admit

His performance at the Brits a few years ago was dill danding level, so this could be an all timer. Security doing rock the boat to Sailing.

[Hugh Jass II]

It'll either be good or an utter car crash. Either way I might go for a look...

[CaledonianGonzo]

I'm down for Rod. Just what the doctor ordered.
