Hey Mr Peridot thanks for your welcome and also for the acts with links real helpful. Have you any predictions for the remaining headliners? I personally would love to see PJ harvey (new album/tour) Gruff Rhys should be able to return(New album/tour). I was just thinking about 2008 line up of Spiritulized, SFA and Pentangle wow what a festival it just get's better and better( I need to calm down now)

I've just looked back on my 2011 wish list posted immediately after the 2010 festival and it was (in order of preference)

Paul Brady
Fleet Foxes
Iron and Wine
Damien Jurado
I am Kloot
Mary Black

I'm well chuffed to have one of them on the bill so far, any more would be fantastic.

PJ Harvey would do it for me too. I really hope GM can do better than Doves last year who were really poor.

Gruff must be a fairly safe bet too - here's hoping

I'm a bit lost for specific predictions so I'm going to generalise and say that GM will give us someone really leftfield for one of the other headliners that will divide opinion and give us much cause for debate.

Yes, I hope for PJ Harvey too. Iron and Wine were a lifetime highlight for me. I wouldn't mind a 'proper' folk act- like Eliza Carthy and her dad- who could do with the money. 9bach will be there I hope, missed them last year. Last year was a fantastic event, and I hope this year lives up to it.

The next round of announcements, including the Friday night headliner, will be on Tuesday 1 March - hopefully something appropriate for St. David's day


EDIT: Discussion on the second round of announcements here

Now who's going to cover themselves in glory by correctly predicting the Sunday night headliner

I'd actually be rather delighted at that prospect - unlikely as it is
