Eliza Carthy again? Think she is bit of a regular on the line up in various incarnations over the years. Think she was in Imagined Village and she's done solo sets at Charlton Park and at Riverhead back in 2000
But she would be a welcome addition for me😁

Saw them at Purbeck last year. Eliza as you haven't seen her before |

Looking forward to seeing Canalon de Timbiqui. I saw them in Bogota last September. Great rootsy traditional music fronted by Nidia Gongora (best known as part of Ondatropica). That's my first "must see" act on the list.

Hope the rumour about Eliza Carthy and The Wayward Band is true. I saw her last year at the rather sterile Wiltshire Music Centre where anything remotely akin to loon dancing is frowned upon.  It would be great to see her with those musicians behind her in a better setting! And Canalon de Timbiqui look good too! |

The Specials would be good, and would love the Philip Glass Ensemble to be there. Also 'Sinkage' would go down welll!  |

I'm going to miss the first announcement; will be on a tech free long weekend. I'll catch up with everything on Monday and hopefully won't burst with excitement in the meantime! |
