I've got to admit, as per usual I've never heard of half the lineup. Has anybody got any recommendations? I've looked at a lot of the acts on Myspace and so far have been very impressed with Alela Diane.

I started out with a deliberate policy of not trying to get to know that bands I hadn't heard of, in the hope that I'd get some excellent surprises over the course of the weekend.
Since I spent an afternoon finding links for them all, it was hard not to catch at least a few bars of a lot of them, and now I pretty much want to see all of them.
King Creosote is my main, must not miss act so far. I'm also looking forward to Vetiver.

King Creosote, The Aliens, James Yorkston (Chris, you look like him)  james is the human in the background by the way. and Gruff..... then i'll just wander about the rest of the time like last year, catching the odd gem here and there....... my downloading capacity was at it's limit after the greenman festival last year..... luckily I now have unlimited dowloading capacity....... |

I'd like to watch The Aliens as I missed them last year, but it's gotta be Malkmus for me. I've not got his latest, Face The Truth, but Pig Lib is a fantastic album.

You are right into Malkmus aren't you. I'll have to check his solo stuff out.

:)My selection:
Friday
Euros Childs
Fanfarlo
King Creosote
Richard James
Gilbert (check out his myspace site for 4 great tunes!)
Saturday
Robert Plant
Vashti Bunyan
Richmond Fontaine
Vetiver
PG Six
Monkey Swallows the Universe (my great 'find' of the festival, again check out their myspace site)
James Yorkston (my festival highlight?)
Six Organs of Admittance
Sunday
Gruff Rhys
Alasdair Roberts
John Renbourn
9 Bach
Herman Dune (anybody hwo cites the great Jonathan Richman as a major influence HAS to be good)
Given that half of these probably clash and that I'll be spending half my time with the kids in the children's area that's probably a hugely optimistic list!

I'm a bit miffed that Herman Dune are clashing with Devendra Banhart, not sure which I'll choose.
Of the folk I haven't seen before, most looking forward to Diane Cluck, Six Organs Of Admittance, and Starless And Bible Black.

Looking forward to Six Organs, lovely floaty stuff. Especially like that one track ep thing they did.
Newsome will be ace, and Euros is most certainly great live. He even did hand actions last time he was on in Manchester.
And palesaint, Archie Bronson Outfit rock my tits off.

And palesaint, Archie Bronson Outfit rock my tits off. the first time i had ever heard of Archie Bronson Outift was last year at Greenman wehn i seen them live, absolutley amazing. 'Derdang Derdang' is a fantastic LP too, i was unsure what they would sound like on record after seeing them live..... |
