The next two choices are no doubt influenced by attending the BBC Radio 2 Party in the Park on the 16th of September, both being on the bill of eight artists.
So this guy completely stole the show if not least for his crowd surfing in a Union Jack inflatable dinghy !

This his debut album from 2004 has some eye watering sales statistics having sold Platinum in three countries, double Platinum in five countries, triple Platinum in two countries, 5 x Platinum in Switzerland, 6 x Platinum in two countries, 7 x Platinum in New Zealand, 9 x Platinum in Australia, 11 x Platinum in the UK and a phenomenal 14 x Platinum in Ireland which means roughly one in five of the population own a copy !

“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
