Aussie Floyd last appeared in 2014, which was the year I was whisked off to hospital, so it would be nice to actually see them this time!

I think Lankum are one of the best bands in the world at the moment, but I'm unsure how they'd do on the field... |

- The Decemberists (will probably be touring a new album by then, so perhaps a little less unlikely?)
- The Rails
- The Longest Johns (given how well Fisherman's Friends went down, would be an obvious choice.)
- Richard Hawley
- Bonfire Radicals

I think Lankum would storm a mid-afternoon session as long as they kept away from, the slow, reflective harmonium-driven stuff and stuck to the lively ballads etc.

Billy Strings.
He's almost too big these days (Stateside)...virtually playing stadiums now? I do think bluegrass would be great in the field though. How many people really dislike Bluegrass...it's almost impossible not to dance to. |

What a top class selection. I fully support it (although this won`t help much :-) ) |

I'm sure there have been discussions about this in the past. I'm kind of surprised it hasn't happened at some point over the last few decades - sadly I think it would have done already if it was ever going to. |

Naming no particular acts, for the mid-afternoon dance-along stuff, two genres I think would go down a storm are cajun/zydeco and bangra.

That would be nice. BS is far more than bluegrass though. |
