I've seen Bon Jovi 4 times and they put on an excellent, professional show every time. In Hyde Park they played (and he sang) for nearly 3 hours. But they're not really "Cropredy" are they  The Blues Band are tho, and The Manfreds. I'd be up for them  |

All lights and big noise, would make for good fun IMHO. Any reasoned arguement for your statement? |

Was listening to that Bon Jovi gig on Radio 2 earlier, Jon Bon Jovi said that they are returning to the UK and Euroope for a tour next year and are looking to play some outdoor summer gigs in the UK. Watch this space? The village shop should do a roaring trade in lighter so that we can all light them up during that gig.....(Straight jacket on and running for the hills........

Anyway, I haven't got one  I'd love to see them there. They are a great singalong band and JBJ loves an audience. He did a little accoustic set once in the centre of Cardiff during lunchtime. Heather Lockyear (the then Mrs Ritchie Sambora) was there. Proper rock chic  |

I have seen more diverse bands there than anywhere else, Jools holland was brilliant and 10cc. Anything goes I say |

A set by Judy Dyble followed by a set from Jackie Mcauley and then a collaboration of Trader Horne material.

Must be about time that we had the Men They Couldn't Hang.
Definitely, and they did tell us a couple of years ago that they'd love to play Cropredy. |

I know that a vote for The Hollies was made a good few pages back, but they would be superb...

Not for me - too many non-original yet essential members makes them a mere cabaret act these days. Jules |

Jules Can't argue with what you say Jules, I just think that despite all that, hearing loads of those great songs would be enough to do the trick, at least for me. Graham Nash in Hollies action would be truly fantastic, but it ain't gonna happen. |

He did it in '84 (I think) and I'm pretty certain I read an interview a couple of years ago saying he wouldn't mind doing it again as a one off. That may of course have been the RocknRoll Hall of fame thing which was somewhat hilarious/sad in Allan Clarke totally ignoring and pulling the mic away from one of the later members (can't think who it was..Sylvester?) whilst the 2 guys still running the band (Hicks and Elliot) weren't on stage as they were contracted to do a gig somewhere else. An AC less Hollies is a rather ridiculous thing imho. |

He and Iain Matthews clearly worship the same God. Its quite preposterous. |
