THe news onlywent up on the South Bank's website after tickets had sold, so I guess an explanation of sorts was required....

The compere's comments about Kristina being the kind of girl that could get you out of a really tight spot...what did he mean by that...did somebody not show at the last moment?
Three advertised acts pulled out in the days before the concert: Florence and the Machine (for what can politely be called "contractual" reasons), Kamila Thompson (throat infection) and Martin Carthy (family reasons etc). The numbers intended to be sung by Florence and Kamila had therefore to be given to Mary and Kristina. Hats off to them! I was sorry not to hear Kamila, though. Her 'Nothing More' went down a storm at the Troubadour. |

Listening to it. watching it and generally reliving it I'm bound to ask..
Can we do it all again next year?
Ha-ha. Haven’t we run out of anniversaries to peg it on? 2009… the 31st anniversary of her passing… might be a difficult sell with the press. This year was always going to be The Big Push and I’d say, for a lady who's no longer with us, she’s had a pretty successful year. But seriously, there are justified gripes that both the tribute events this year have been in the metrops. I’m quite taken by the idea of a ‘Denny Project’ – like the Dylan Project – something that could tour. |

Her 'Nothing More' went down a storm at the Troubadour. Thanks for that - that makes much more sense now. I have to say, to me, the real revelation of this gig (I wasn't there, sadly) was Mary Epworth....her voice is just wondrous and I've investigated her myspace now and that looks just awesome. The wheel keeps on turning...  |

Mary was on my radar prior to this gig, having come by her while investigating Johnny Flynn, the Sussex Wit & Laura Marling.....
I have to say that the new (nu)-folk circle is rather 'incestuous'.....in that you keep going round in ever-increasing circles...

listening to it here
and so far its absollutely fine with just a couple of observations
Marc Almond did tend to play with the notes, but then he always does
baby dee was strange,ive never heard if him before and im not really sure im glad i have
Swarb was Swarb on "it suits me well" so whats not to like? and i still love to ear the old rascal singing
the backing band who apparently are not bellowhead are good as well
ive just got up to Kev Dempsey doing one way donkey ride so if theres any surprises in thethe remainder ill pop back
As dime are not taking in new members at present is there any other way of listening to this concert? |

Billy, the house band on Monday evening,with the exception of Jerry Donahue and Sam Carter, are all members of Bellowhead.
The reason for referring to them as NOT Bellowhead, is because the two front men in Bellowhead, John Spiers & Jon Boden were not in attendance.
Bellowhead members who played;
Paul Sartin, violin/oboe/piano
Benji Kirkpatrick, bouzouki/mandolin/acoustic guitar
Andy Mellon, piano/trumpet
Pete Flood, drums/percussion
Sam Sweeny,violin/viola
John Bridgewood, acoustic bass
musical arrangements by Peter Flood and Andy Mellon
I agree with you, they were absolutely fantastic.
Thanks Martin.I saw you by the stage on Monday before the show,we were in the front row.I'm familiar with all the old 'uns of course but not many of the youngsters,though we did see Lisa Knapp at The Troubadour Sandy tribute. |

Marc Almond, 'All Our Days': http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=qbsnrg77ui4As Simon Cowell would no doubt say, he's like Marmite: you either love him or you hate him. |
