Are Jefferson Starship still playing? Or even alive?

So yes, I'd travel to see Jefferson Starship...maybe not across a whole galaxy, but definitely to Oxfordshire.

However,
The excellent 3Doors Down might be on a European US airbases Tour.
Brad and the boys would go down brilliantly I think. When Im Gone or Away from the Sun would be one of my Desert Island discs. Hard to choose wich.

Dick Gaughan - a real folk troubadour and stalwart of the folk rock movement with Five Hand Reel. Played in our theatre to a well-deserved standing ovation recently.
Slade - yes... Proclaimers Planxty (though unlikely to stage another comeback tour..) (in my dream of dreams) Fruupp Amy McDonald - yes (she's gone quiet recently) Imelda May (Irish rockabilly with talent and bubbly personality to win a Smiths warm-up artist over) R. Cajun and the Bearcat Stompers) - pure Cajun and Zydeco raw driving energy
Enough for now..

I don't normally contribute to this thread, as it is mostly pissing in the wind, but I did see a band at Wickham that would go down very well.
Caravan of Thieves.
The music has a sort of 1920s Paris type feel, but with many modern twists. They are touring the UK at the moment, so you could get a chance to see them. They did a short but storming set on the first day, and were then asked back to deputise for a poorly Luka Bloom. The crowd loved them, and their encore on the first day was so good, they were asked to reprise it.

Agree with Paul, Caravan of Thieves would definitely be suitable for Cropredy

Jimmy Cliff-satisfying the need for some reggae and also a connection via Peggy.

Much as I love Michael (and I'm very much looking forward to seeing him play at the end of my street in Tod on Sunday!) I can't really see him managing to engage a field full of people who'd probably prefer to be watching Status Quo or The Australian Pink Floyd...

I take your point, David, but he did just fine at Green Man on the main stage. All to do with good scheduling and managing expectations.... If I really can't have Michael, though, I'm going to demand The Handsome Family to be flown over instead

I'm unconvinced that an acoustic solo/duo act from a 'folk' background (I know that doesn't really cover MC but it still stands) could hold the attention of more than a very small segment at Cropredy any more...
