I'd also vote for Skinny Lister, but given their performance at Cambridge they may need to be on restraining leads.
Two other thoughts occured: The Spin Doctors for Thursday night and The Saw Doctors for Friday night. Both would provide a good level of feelgood.

The Full English Band must be high on the list of possibilities I hope.

Someone I have suggested before Johnny Clegg (the white Zulu from Accrington!) if he could be persuaded to come over from one of his french tours. http://www.johnnyclegg.com/ |

Totally agree  Along with Jeff Lynne Porcupine Tree Mark Knopfler Rufus Wainwright Kate Rusby Yes Roger Waters (Building a wall across a cow field would be interesting ) Great shout for Nick Cave too (May need to be heavily censored though. Think Stagger Lee may be off the menu  ) |

Decemberists: To celebrate the fact they are back and also because they are one of the best live bands on the planet
Steve Earle: (Preferably with the Dukes & Duchesses): We'll never get The Boss, so why not the next best thing?
Smoke Fairies: One of our best homegrown duos who seem to be more well known in the USA. Perfect for a sunny afternoon.
Joe Jackson: He may have slipped below the radar, but he still occasionally gets back on the road with his old band and when he does they are superb.
The Men They Couldn't Hang: They wow every other festival but have never played Cropredy. I know for a fact that they would like to.
Boo Hewerdine: Terrific songs and a razor sharp wit. An absolute must for the pre- Fairport solo spot.

The saw docs are on a much extended break and have been since the xmas tour of 2012, rumours of a reunion are, at the moment, just rumours. Anyway, and much as i love them its only 2(will be 3) years since they graced the stage. |

Steve Earle and the Dukes...bring it on! And that's not a second best vote!  I'd go for Boo Hewerdine as well, but stretch it to State of the Union, as I enjoyed Brookes Williams last time (2013) |

No other takers for the exceptional Svbway to Sally.
You want Metal Folk why not have the best. Although it would probably bankrupt the festival just to transport the pyrotechnics.
They have a singer called Fish and The Smiths play for them. (Not Johnny Marr and Co, but Herr and Frau).
They really would blow the late Thursday and Friday slot away and people in Birmingham would be complaining of a nearby explosion.
Check out "Das schwarze Meer" my favourite track.
Bring Berlin's top act to Britain just once in my lifetime , please.
Oh and Faun are better than Eluveitie ,they'd do too.

Seconded, so long as they have Grimethorpe Colliery Band with them. King of Rome at Cambridge a couple of years ago was one of the most moving musical experiences of my life. I was in tears, even though I know it turns out as a happy ending! |

Agree with so many suggested. Headliners from Madness, Ray Davies, Mark Knopfler or even Tom Jones - saw him last week and he was brilliant, great new music and sprinkling of hits. Nick Lowe in the slot before FC or possibly Billy Bragg. Unthanks (with brass band), Imagined Village and Runrig as big folk names. And Graham Parker in the where are they now slot.
As general point though, it struck me the line up was incredibly white this year. Would benefit hugely from more diversity. Bit of soul or world music would go down well as have been far too under represented to date.

Please God no more Prog!
We need some more reggae & ska
The Specials (If not them then the recently departed from them Neville Staple who has a great band doing a mixture of Specials and other classics)
Roddy Radiation (Also now ex-Specials with his Ska / Rockabilly band)
Some Blues:
Gary Clark Jnr maybe?
And my final request for now:
The Modfather himself Mr Paul Weller.

After Cromer Folk On The Pier 2013 I said T wanted to see Joe Broughton's CFE - never thinking it would actually happen.
So from Cromer 2014 - The Young 'Uns and for something completely different Mrs Ackroyd Band - their cluedo version of Matty Groves had me in tears
