My needs are simple Smiley

The Enid because they are FAB! and I'm an Enidi so it would give the chance to catch up with a few others
Elbow - because they are fantastic
James Taylor - he's the man!
Deacon Blue - fab singles band and would make up for them not getting independance Smiley
Roger Daltry and Wilko Johnson
Robert Plant and Band of Joy
Madness - for dancin'
A Ska Band - for skankin'
Leatherat - move them up the line-up a bit
Jim Moray but with his full electric band
Bellowhead
Peatbog Faeries
Jamie Smith's Mabon (they've come on a lot)
Turin Brakes
Ben Folds but watch the bad language Wink
Blackbeards Tea Party to a later slot
Don't mind tribute acts but only 1 per festival - Eagles, Thin Lizzy, AD/DC (oh yes!), Brit Floyd, Who

No country please! It's depressing  Cry

Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel. Full band and maybe Orchestra and choir? Well they got all Joe Broughton's lot on!

Everyone knows most of the songs so plenty to dance and sing to. Thursday night headliner?

Seen him a few times and enjoyed him before but in June 2014 he was dreadful. Stroppy bugger too.

I've njoyed this Cropredy, but then again I've enjoyed every one that I've been to, Leningrad Cowboys notwithstanding. I'd like to see:
 Maart Alcock solo
 Ric Sanders Trio
 Seth Lakeman
 Duncan Chisholm

 and the bigger acts 'Dream List':

Mark Knopfler
Nick Cave
Steeleye Span
Caravan

Having thought about it some more, also:
Dry The River as they would get the place energised early Friday evening or mid-Saturday afternoon;
Four Men and a Dog, just because they are splendid live entertainment, any time;
The Mighty Doonans (remnants of Hedgehog Pie) for a livener on Thursday afternoon;
A Transatlantic Sessions slot 'cos along with Ally, Phil and Jerry you get a stageful of other great musicians and they should get together in the summer months, not just for Celtic Connections in January, admittedly factor 50 suncreme would be one of the necessary riders, it would also be something featuring Sir Danny Thomson, which has to be a good thing;
Flook (as they are playing together again) because that would get Hendo to buy a ticket....

Peter Knight's Gigspanner, although the field might be a tad big for their sound.

Steeleye were bloody great at Skeggy last December.

And, since I missed everything this year, Australian Pink Floyd.

Ok ill expand

Gerry McAvoys band of friends, brilliant set of Rory Gallaghers songs done by Rory's bass player and drummer with a great guitarist
Graham Parker and the Rumour, The english E St Band, great songs great players they would be amazing
Dr Feelgood, well it would give the tribute band moaners something to moan about but they still deliver and would rock the joint
Wilko Johnson(if fit), Storming performer, norman watt roy on bass and a peerless back catalogue maybe not the same year as the feelgoods though
The Lee Thompson Ska Orchestra, Wonderful ska set the field wouldnt be able not to love them
And last but not least CHEAP TRICK, cruelly underrated but one of the best working rock/pop bands anywhere with a huge catalogue of top choons

Who can go in the "Gonzo Theatrical Rock Band Slot" to follow on from Alice and the Aussie Floyd? One name comes to mind: KISS!

Not saying I want it, or that it's possible, but there you go...

well, another pretty please for Christy Moore
then a re-visit of Pauline Black
supported by the likes of
Red Hot Chili Pipers or Saor Patrol or even Corvus Corax - they would get the arena bouncing.

For the mad jumping around slot I'd love to see Johnny Kowalski and the Sexy Weirdos.

Pointless saying this again of course, as I'm sure they'll never perform together again but Robin and Barry Dransfield.

That's 2 of us who'd like to see Corvus Corax... and/or their alter ego Berlinskibeat.

Oysterband - latest CD shows they've still "got it"

And if there's a Weather Report tribute band out there...

PS - a return visit from Robert Doyle would be good - 2017, maybe?  Wink

And I'd gladly buy a hatchet for Swarb and the chaps to bury.......
