Re: London Olympics 2012
According to the Guardian Bowie wasn't interested as he doesn't do public appearances anymore, ditto Kate Bush, apparently they couldn't get the Stones or Sex Pistols, but the absence of the Stones in some form was probably the biggest hole historically.

Re: London Olympics 2012
I agree Stavros. Not a single Stones number played. But British music of the past 50 years is also more than rock, disco, rave etc...... I hate Andrew lloyd Webber personally but shouldn't his immense sccess as a composer of popular musicals have been recognised.
And what about Tom Jones? or that fat Scottish singer who won the TV talent contest?
In the parade of models where was Twiggy (still working and surely the most famous of all UK models?)
Many omissions....

Re: London Olympics 2012
Twiggy! I had forgotten all about her. I also agree about Lloyd-Webber although in present times the political resonance of Don't Cry for Me Argentina might have been too much even for a celebration of world sport...

Re: London Olympics 2012
There was a Lloyd-Webber in the opening ceremony - Julian playing his cello.
Twiggy may have been contractually bound to M&S ?
