The Craig Charles Fantasy Funk Band will be performing at the Glastonbury Festival this year, it was announced today.
Former Red Dwarf star and BBC 6Music DJ Craig Charles formed the Fantasy Funk Band in 2009 with help from listeners to his Funk and Soul Show on 6Music. His radio show listeners were asked to vote for their own fantasy band line-up, and a band was formed from some of their suggestions.
At a Maida Vale recording session late last year, the band featured
John Turrell
Dionne Charles
James Taylor
Eddie Roberts
Snowboy
Mike Bandoni
Ernie McKone
The Haggis Horns
See our Glastonbury 2010 line-up page for a list of confirmed and rumoured acts..
They better get announcing a lot more decent names before the end of February – otherwise I’ll be asking for my deposit back. Craig Charles Fantasy Funk Band? Are they taking the piss?!
