I love them and both their albums are great. But, I wonder whether it would work in a large field, perhaps another one for the smaller venues. |

I saw Wilko Johnson on Friday and, do you know what, I think he'd be superb.
I keep going on about The Blockheads , who i think are magnificent. Getting Wilko along would work great because he plays with the Drummer and the fantastic Bass player Norman Watt Roy both from the Blockheads. I can see it now Wilko and the boys finish off with "Back in the Night" quick break for Norman to change his suit [ which always ends up soaked in sweat ] and on come the Blockheads - Norman says" we are the Blockheads and we go like this:-" and the riff of "Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll " hits a jumping crowd. Back to reality now it's mid October , cold and I'm a bit skint i refer the house to my post on this subject of sept 18th  just book em, ok! 'Tis imperative! Would be absolutely amazing  Wilko's the best. He would just light up that field. |

They're a wonderful band but can tend to be a bit introverted on stage and are maybe more suited to smaller venues rather than a field of 15 000+. Something more intimate like Big Session would be perfect for them but sadly I couldn't see it working at Cropredy. |

The way their mouths go all over their faces when they sing would be very disturbing on the big screen..... |

My latest recommendation would be The ZombiesThey were absolutely stunning at Weyfest this year. They also did not restrict themselves to just Zombie numbers, so we got Hold Your Head Up, God Gave Rock and Roll to You, and I don't believe in miracles. Paul |

If it's The Zombies then I want the proper Zombies with Chris and Hugh, not the half Zombies/half Argent band that's been playing lately.

they did Guilfest the same year i think, RT was also there. Tilbrook had lost his voice that night though so the crowd sang most of the songs  |
