If they are touring again I would expect to see Katzenjammer booked.

Tom Russell has already been suggested and I think is a great idea.

Not well known in the UK, but with a keen following The Airborne Toxic Event. If they were more famous they would make a great rocking headliner. Maybe Friday.

Didn't I see that The Men They Couldn't Hang are gigging again. Are they any good?

Mind you, if The Office can pull off something as inspired as Alice Cooper, I'll leave it to them.

People rave about Men they couldn't Hang and i really like them but was disappointed last time i saw them.
I see your Katzenjammer and raise you Eluveitie who i would genuinely love to see at Cropredy, probably in the Peatbog slot

Sonerien Du - they were superb at Cromer and they certainly demonstrated the Cropredy spirit by spending a lot of time in the bar

Also great at Cromer - Joe Broughton's Conservatoire Folk Ensemble (that should give the stage crew something to think about)

Korpiklaani would be good - what's not to like about a metal band who play accordians?

Folk metal would be great.  I love Wooden Pints.

Another one here for folk metal.

Katzenjammer were approached for this year, but wanted silly money. I would prefer to have Baskery instead.

Would like to see Katzenjammer. I can't understand how they can justify silly money. It is not as if they have a huge profile over here. Perhaps when translated into krone it sounded cheap!

Baskery are great fun!  Smiley

Saw the Men they Couldn't Hang at Wickham a couple of years ago. Brilliant, and very bouncy for the dancing types. Also able to pull out the tears with Green Fields of France though.

Somebody suggested Wilko in an earlier post. Sadly I don't think this will be possible, but if it is then would show the power of positive thought and gigging.

Waterboys would be great. I saw them for the first time last week, and was blown away. They also knicked Lunasa's bassist for one number.

I was told it was because one of them was pregnant.
They only play 200ish seaters over here. (£16 a ticket = £3200, less venue, not much)

Ooh yes! I would second that. I have been listening to his work since the early 80s (Scatterlings of Africa on an Africa shaped picture disc!). Never seen him live and would love to. Its a cruel, crazy, beautiful world.

How about Gryphon, touring in 2014 for the first time in many, many years.

I know they are almost their own tribute band now but for a great pre headline singalong howabout The Hollies.

If we are going back to the early 60's for an act, either version of The Searchers would be a wonderful 60 mins for me.
