I`m a big fan of Natalie Merchant . How about getting her for Friday then doing! "Crazy Man Michael "on the Saturday night with the boyz .She could stay in my tent if she was short of accomodation.  All else failing get the OYSTERS you know it makes sense. |

I think James Blunt would clear the place pretty sharpish. He whines  Carolyn |

Not sure about the screaming teens, Andy. You'd have to be a fairly weird teenager to like his stuff. I'd say it's more for the Dido market, thirty something women, the sort who burn candles while they're in the bath.
Excuse me I have been known to burn the odd candlewhilst in the bath but i'm not keen on Blunt or Dido!!!   I find the water tends to put them out. |

James Blunt??
be interesting to see if he could cut it doing it live
well I saw him in wolverhampton last month and he was very very good live unfortunately he has bigger fish to fry than croppers these days. mik Not bigger fish, Mik. Different fish. Programming a festival must be a really difficult balancing act. If they did have someone like Blunt on the Friday(which they won't), tickets would probably sell out instantly to an audience with little interest in all the other stuff. Given that you can't buy Friday only tickets, you could have the bizarre prospect of a sell-out on Friday and a relatively empty field on Saturday! |

Who is James Blunt What am I missing? I thought he was a sixties style crooner (his name certainly suggests one). No, no no. He does not sound Cropredy at all. Sandra the bewildered |

Lot's of great ideas here, but there seems to be one band missing from the suggestions... Songs from the Blue House!!! with guests, they could rock/folk/blues the house (field) down mic  |

How about The Eighteenth Day of May? Or are they too similar to Fairport?
I love the suggestion of Natalie Merchant; 10,000 Maniacs were one of my favourite bands ever.

Thanks Mic, but still....oh, just shove everyone else up one place and we'll start the day off.... Anyway - The Waterboys, definitely - there's a band to get the vibe going - they're on top form at the moment, judging by the gig I saw in Dublin a couple of weeks ago. Or Spirit of the West, but that's a recurrent theme with me and terribly, terribly unlikely, sadly. In real terms? I reckon The Dylan Project are in with a chance. An outside "that would be incredible" vote? The Violent Femmes.  |

I was thinking of the mixed set you all kinda did at Helstock... hence the 'with guests' bit... Because I think that's more than worthy of a headline spot ( but I'd settle for your suggestion mic |
