How commercial does Meltdown have to be? I doubt he can just pick obscure bands and people.
There's bound to be some kind of Fairport reunion, at least you'd hope so.
Eclecticism appears to be the only common denominator across the previous curators, e.g. 2008's line-up courtesy of Massive Attack: http://www.efestivals.co.uk/festivals/meltdown/2008/ |

No such thing as good or bad music, just music you like and music you like less.

The Five Blind Boys of Alabama. I'd stake my beret on it.

As Liege & Lief was given it's first public airing at RFH I wonder if there might be another outing for that?

I think Meltdown is about looking forward, not back. And it's largely about commissioning others, and bringing artists together in unexpected and adventurous collaborations. Very exciting. |

I doubt it. That's not the kind of festival it is. There's already one of those every year at Cropredy. |

How about a Firth, French, Kaiser and Thompson reunion? Or the Golden Palaminos..?

I mentioned the former above...the latter would also be fun, but surely unlikely....but stranger things have happened (including on that same stage)! I'll take Mr Nicol's suggestion too, please  |

I will not rest until I've found it....I need to find my copy too...it's around here somewhere! Haven't listened to it in about 4 years and I can't think why. Funny how that happens, isn't it? When I first heard it (about a year after it came out) I didn't play anything else for about a month. My then girlfriend hated it I should point out! Btw I love this description of the album which appears on wiki.. The sound is something like being transported to the sixteenth century and the 1970s, simultaneously |

Bones of All Men eh! Excellent. I was rather hoping that skeleton would emerge from the closet, so to speak. Great album, don't think it has ever been done live, has it?

I seem to recall suggesting this a few weeks ago, I think wrt Cropredy - but Meltdown would be an even better opportunity! DC |
