  I'll always accept an opportunity to plug a bit more reggae, and it would be appropriate to invite one of the elder statesmen, Burning Spear.

  Looking back to 1982 and Shepton Mallet and all that, could we see a return invitation to the likes of Talisman and Black Roots, who have both reformed in recent times, the Drummers of Burundi again (to add some of their much-needed dance routines), or of course PG?

  We will definitely avail ourselves of Earlybird tickets next time around what with the absence of Glasto - a sell-out would be unthinkable until we have our tickets ;-)

  Boabab or Neil Young ,Sufjan Stevens or Bonnie Prince Billy.There is not a
  glut of Stella African musicians so they are going to have to diversify,when they
  brought in the likes of Cornershop or Faithless.ideas please

  I'd definitely go for Baobab and Burning Spear. Also would love to experience the Drummers of Burundi - the stories make them sound so brilliant. Lets make more magic stories!!
