| The issue of who would be the artist is irrelevant though. It would be up to the marketing guys to pick something that would get a good attendance, and that's the only thing we care about. On that basis I don't even care if it was Rylan, if we fill the place and get some dosh. It doesn't have to be someone I personally would want to see.
These marketing guys are from another planet though. I mean, who would have bet any money that turns like One Direction and their ilk could fill big venues in the States? Credit where it's due.
I'm not sure whether you are dissing Leo Sayer etc. Sayer in his time was a top notch performer, and is a genuine muso who has also written a lot, as well as his fairly recent resurrection with Thunder In My Heart. I should think a concert by him would actually be exceptionally good. But doubt it would fill Odsal, which is kinda my point, and I frankly admit I've no clue any more if the music marketing boys could do it.
Don't think Gilbert would be much of a draw but Chris de Burgh is at the Royal Albert Hall in April followed by the NIA in Brum, and tickets are between £40-£70 so I don't think we'd have trouble shifting tickets if he could be persuaded to come.
The big problem of decent and contemporary turns in Bradford of course is the shameful lack of a mid-sized venue. You could get all sorts on at St George's Hall, but so few people can fit in that you could not afford the top acts. It's the same problem as eventually shut down the renowned Batley Variety Club, but it was good while it lasted.

Dont think the recent weather will have put many in the mood for an open air concert Odsal.
The problem with 80s pop is that, with the exception of new romantics, it doesnt seem to have the nostalgia value of eg 60's or punk.
Dont think Charlie Watts would fancy playing at Odsal, too windy. But not many hippies

I guess the many who know the stadium would probably think a bit before committing to a whole day [or more!] in early summer. That said, there is a long standing and very committed group of people who enjoy outdoor festivals, so maybe it's not such a deal breaker?
Agree about 80s music - puts me too much in mind of dumbed down punk 'music' [the decade that music died]. Course, like all decades, it can't be really just be narrowed down to one format and there was lots of good stuff mixed in amongst the dross.
I can empathise with Charlie Watts though, it's bloody hard to play music in the freezing cold and wind. In fact the lads playing guitar in the cold on the last few Sundays deserve a medal as they probably left with fingers rubbed raw in the cold.

| Charlie better not get cold feet now (or hands) as I've shelled out for a ticket for Hyde Park.

Nah, that's much nearer the equator than Odsal....
