No dead people? (Of course this led us into subsidiary thinking - were some musicians we wanted to include dead or alive? - useful site here for such questions)
So here is mine - line up changes possible, but more or less my fantasy music festival:
Friday:
Headliner: Radiohead
The National
Pulp
Frank Turner
Blitzen Trapper
Mumford & Sons
Dixie Chicks
The Streets
Saturday:
Headliner: The Smiths
Blondie
The Ramones
Curiosity Killed the Cat (original)
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Elvis Costello
Roxy Music
The La's
Sunday:
Headliner: Leonard Cohen
Frightened Rabbit
Tom Jones
Catatonia
Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros
The Verve
Saint Etienne
So there you have it. Finish on LC, and we all go home depressed but full of poetry and soul.
So, would you come?
There's also going to be lots and lots of poetry, Nigella will demonstrate cake making, we may do some river swimming and we all get to grow some of our own vegetables.
Do not just snipe at my choices, btw. Would love to find out your fantasy music line ups.... It's much much harder than you think. And funner too.

What fun! Radio Head would definitely be my headliner too. I'm going to think about this.....makes you feel cool and funky, eh? :-)
Great choices, Alex. I would come on Saturday and see Val Doonican - is he still alive though?
Sue, you are cool and funky without trying. Hold yours on the Vineyard and we will all come!
Course the legend is still alive.

There's a thing about Tom Jones on BBC tonight at 10.35pm. Definitely worth staying up for, I think!
