Definitely looks like a man (and a backing group) who'll give us gluttons a run for our oink.

(born July 22, 1941) is an American singer, songwriter, bandleader, and music producer and the principal architect of P-Funk. He was the mastermind of the bands Parliament and Funkadelic during the 1970s and early 1980s, and launched a solo career in 1981. He has been cited as one of the foremost innovators of funk music, along with James Brown and Sly Stone. Clinton was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997 with fifteen other members of Parliament-Funkadelic.

Is someone going to explain who George Clinton is?

I've only just managed to work out who this Bjork lady is (and still can't type her name). As for Ben Howard, Roisin Murphy, Nick Mulver and Nils Frahm....

I've bought my ticket to catch up with Angela Hartnett, Mark Hix, the Clarks and Lucy Boyd.

But the annual Park Street Festival's not just for us greedy pigs. So couldn't someone explain the musicians to those of us who've never really recovered from Goldie and the Gingerbreads breaking up?

Nick - I'm surprised at you! The Smithsonian exhibit is not the original, and Charlbury Museum doesn't do replicas. Besides, the lawn in front (you know - where the town's Christmas tree goes each year) isn't really the right size to do such an impressive exhibit justice. The Playing Close, maybe ......?

I take it Charlbury Museum will be arranging a loan of the Mothership from the Smithsonian?
