Hello.
Glasto weekend. But I’m starting to really look forward to the Big Chill. Fingers crossed its nice and dry. Thought I’d do a little blog sharing some of people I’m looking forward to seeing.
So, first up, female vocalists: I’m looking forward to seeing Roisin Murphy again; I saw her a couple of years back, and she’s great live. Mad as a hatter.
Another female singer I’m looking forward to seeing is Camille: lots of French vocal looping.
A new musical discovery is Lykke Li. She seems like she’d be good live too. Little girls making kooky music.
Now, onto big bands and orchestras. 
Now, these are going to be good. First up, I’m really really looking forward to seeing the Matthew Herbert Big Band again. I saw them about 4, 5 years ago when they first toured, and it was easily one of my top 5 gigs of all time (alone with EST, Porcupine Tree, ACSS, Heritage Orchestra, PlantLife, ok, I’ve gone past 5 now haven’t I)
Now, while I’m excited about seeing Herbert’s Big Band again, I’ve really looking forward to THIS:
What a crazy crazy idea. I approve. Should be amazing to watch
And if that’s not enough, there’s also The JB Horn’s AfroFunk All-Stars tribute to James Brown, Simon Emmerson’s Imagined Village. Not to mention Orchestra Baobab and the Hot 8 Brass Band.
Oh, and Bill Baily and Ben Goldacre.
Only a month to go Shame Fat Freddies Drop have cancelled, I’ve got my fingers crossed that PlantLife will be a late addition, but that’s probably too optomistic.
