  Gerhard Richter is now considered to be the world’s greatest living artist now that Lucian Freud has gone.

  Personally I don’t’ like Freud’s work, but yes Hockney would be good.

  ... you need to go to one of their gigs on a breezy day; the leaves make a wonderful sound - on a very windy day, you can hear the wood groaning as it bends.....fabulous!

  George Dalaras. I'd love to see some Greek Rembetika . Some years ago I was lucky enough to see him at the Herodion Theatre in Athens. It was a magical night . A summers night , sat in a theatre that was built in 161AD , in the shadow of the Acropolis . George Dalaras was the 'headliner' and Emma Shapplin was his support . It was one of those very special nights ..

  And I think Emma Shapplin would be good at Womad too .
