Woody Mann Gretchen Peters Aimee Mann Mark Knopfler Be nice if we could write a song together I found it hard to leave Knopfler out. Put him down for me as 1st reserve (along with half a dozen others!). |

Thanks all for taking part. Some interesting choices and, as Keith says, most of us would choose a different 4 on another day.
What is noticeable is that, with about 15 people posting their 4 supper companions (which is therefore around 60 choices in total) there are only a very few selections with around 2 or 3 'votes'. Overall something like 30-40 different choices. Just goes to show the variety of styles/genre etc that we all enjoy. Lots of names I didn't even know and I've looked up quite a few on youtube and enjoyed them.

This was too restrictive - Jesus had 12 mates round for HIS last supper!
I need to get Tom Lehrer and Mitch Benn in there somehow… 😀

So many others are possible! Truth is I'd probably be too shy and reserved to say a single word in elite company like that.  Mark |

I am not a rule breaker. I may have no respect for your rules, fatfingerjohn, but I won't break them  |

Yeah, I know it's been a fortnight since John put this thread up, and it's not raining here, but I have been mulling it over and trying not to break the rules. I have chosen four because I think they would be great supper companions rather than just musical heroes (though they are obviously that) and I have chosen:
Bill Bailey
Jake Thackeray
Paul McCartney
Mark Knopfler
Oh, dear. I've just realised they're all Brits, and all men. I don't think that's a Freudian issue, but what do I know?
As for what post-supper playing, I'll let Macca choose from his immense body of work and I'll just sit back and listen. After all, I've just cooked their supper - they should at least sing for it.

I should have read the rules in the opening post on the thread.
One of many mistakes and errors I make each day.
Claudio Abbado Floor Jansen Troy Donockley
Arjen Anthony Lucassen
To bring it down to 4. The 4th on the list was the tough one.

As these things are transient, right now I'm thinking of
Christopher Lee
Jimmy Page
John Renbourn
Ralph Vaughan Williams
The mood being English, dark, a little folky. Probably not as jocular as some others. I can imagine quite intense conversations between Lee, Page and VW, whilst Renbourn just laughs and drinks all the red wine
Tomorrow, I could probably pick four entirely different.

............. whilst Renbourn just laughs and drinks all the red wine ...... Haha - you've obviously already spent an evening or two with him then, Mike! Keith |

Fair play, Mark, there have been a few names on the thread that I've not heard of, but you win the prize for my never having heard of all four! Derek |
