How about this then? Thursday night - Old Crow Medicine Show or KT Tunstall Friday Night - John Tams and Barry Moore (saw them at Cambridge this year and liked what I heard) Saturday - Hayseed Dixie, The Big Yin (but would he stoop to our level)  and Fairport doing there personal favorite tracks. and please no Ralph McTell IMHO great song writer, but could leave the singing to others. The Big Yin himself turned up to tell a half hours worth of jokes before FC took the stage on the Saturday night in around 1987 or 1988. Remember it well !  I'm sure he would come back if invited ! |

I thought John Otway's double-ended guitar was good fun - but that one takes the prize !

How about Ed Alleyne-Johnson ?? A one-man electric orchestra (with just one electric violin, no overdubs, or second takes !!). Double CD 'Echoes' has all the great rock covers. Check it out on www.muntfish.com/alleyne-johnson/echoes.phpAvailable for £9.99 from CD101.com Good call, but not sure a one-man instrumental set is ideal for a festival. He has said he'd like to play. There was a thread on him some time in the last year. The last I saw him he was busking in Bold St, Liverpool and that was a couple of years ago. Hang on, there's video of him busking in Chester on youtube but you probably already knew that! |

So no Excalibur II....?
PL - where did you get that info from? Tony - do you know anything?
Chris well, maybe I was assuming/hoping for too much. In this year`s programme booklet Peggy wrote "I`m writing these words on the terrace of Martin Barre`s Presshouse Studio. Simon, Gerry and myself are down here in glorious Devon, working on the follow-up project to Excalibur, which the French producer Alan Simon is putting together. It`s going really well, so look out for it`s Nov 155th release on EMI." and then in Gerry`s bit on could read "Here is the news: Simon, Peggy and myself have just returned from Presshouse Studios in Devon after recording 8 tracks for the Excalibur 2 project, one with Jacqui McShee ..... and we are looking forward to going to the Midem festival in Cannes next January 2007 to preview the new show" So at least this looks like a new CD, not sure about any DVD plans. Well, so there^s still hope I guess. If not the L`Heritage Des Celts line up we might have a homeopathic version of it on Thursday night, Dan AR Braz, Jacqui McShee the chaps, and one or two others. At the very least, it is a reason to be looking forward to Nov. Cheers Peter |

Steve Earle for Friday night? Then we could have Mrs Earle (Alison Moorer ) as well.
Wouldn't that be something [Drooling Smiley] With Steve's marital record do you really think they'll still be an item in a year's time?? His alimony payments to the 6 previous Mrs Earles are keeping rural Tennessee's economy afloat! At the risk of being accused of being a sad tw*t I feel I must point out, there are at the time of writing only 5 ex-Mrs Steve Earles, although he has married one of them twice so I can see where the confusion might arise. |

"I`m writing these words on the terrace of Martin Barre`s Presshouse Studio. That must have been tough. Here's the view from said terrace. Back on topic, Steve Earle, top idea. [attachment deleted by admin] |

Christy bloody Moore!
Any day, I don't mind.
Jeez wouldn't that be fantastic? About as much chance as fly in the air... Add in Dolores Keane and you'd really be talking! |

SETH LAKEMAN!!!!!!!!!
He's just performed 3 songs in Borders (Bournemouth) - freedom fields is a fantastic record, and I predict great things for him......
I second (or third) the Christy Moore suggestion.
Cheers

Not a bad idea, but, PLEASE, not Jethro Tull again. I love their music, but their live performances are just so.....whats the word?.........decrepit these days
Sad but true. I've seen Tull numerous more times than I care to remember, but the songs they played at Cropredy '04 with the current line-up were a big disappointment. Dare I say, lifeless and bland? . |

I'd love to see Leo Kottke or Doc Watson do a set. Probably a late Saturday afternoon slot.

I second that. Seth on record is excellent, but live he is something very special. Passionate, urgent and exciting, allied to great musicianship - and the band is great too. |

Friday night needs a stonking good band as headline and there have been some great ones over the years. My personal favourites would include the Saw Docs, Lindisfarne and the fantastic Lenningrad Cowboys.
Anyone for the Waterboys???
Blinding set at Trowbridge this year!!
