OK - here’s a pointless, time-wasting and bandwidth-consuming game you can all play at home.
The rules are simple: you’re setting up a festival, and you can choose the acts – living or dead, active or inactive. But the bill must contain all the initial letters of your forum user name (so some forumites will have more extensive bills than others). “The” doesn’t count, so The Beatles would be “B”, not “T”. And it’s the forename that counts, not the surname - so David Bowie is “D”, not “B”.
Easy, innit?
I’ll get the ball rolling…
So, for me, it’s:
T he The
H usker Du
E els
K raftwerk
E arth, Wind & Fire
V elvet Underground
S tereolab
T hrobbing Gristle
E insturzende Neubauten

D avid Bowie
S upertramp
An eclectic mix, I know, but I’m a big fan of each.

Glad he couldn’t make it, you had a perfect line up till then…
How very dare you!
Actually he is a top live performer ( particularly when he brought on Roger Daltry for a few songs which happened in forest gig at Bedgebury)
