Is that like a pegg number for people who play with Led Zeppelin?

Jim Moray would certainly seem to be appearing as it is listed on his website and elsewhere (so it must be true).

I really must get around to thinking up something witty and urbane to put here.

I just got a mailing from the South Bank which mentions this gig.

Though the website itself currently doesn't give any names, the email states "Featuring Martin Carthy, Marc Almond, Baby Dee and Eddi Reader"

I would anticipate more news soon...

Cheers

Is it just me or does marc Almond seem an odd person to be at a Sandy tribute - unless he's the one behind http://www.talkawhile.co.uk/yabbse/index.php?topic=29429.0

Sandy's timeless music has a lot of fans (some rather famous) way beyond the folk scene. And so she should - she's a legend.

Marc Almond has extremely good taste - he has recently been performing Richard and Linda 's "Great Valerio" in concert, complete with a tightrope walk at the end of the song!

Well said, Jamie. Mr Almond’s fans report that, at a concert in Leicester Cathedral a few years back, he did a version of Sandy’s ‘All Our Days’ that went down a storm.

It’s all about looking beyond the Fotheringport family to find the much larger fan base she deserves. Like, the Independent recently quoted Jamie Reynolds of Klaxons (NME Best New Band 2007, etc.) saying that Sandy would be the vocalist in his fantasy band.

Bambi Ballard (close friend of Sandy) said to me that when she told Joe Strummer (Clash) that she knew Sandy, he was really keen to meet her as he loved her stuff. I don't think it happened sadly as she died very soon after this conversation, but it gives you a fair idea that she had/has fans of all types musically.

Hello

My first post although I can confess to having lurked on here for some time!

Any further news on who will be appearing at the gig?

I've just booked and I noticed on the South Bank Centre website that ticket sales are good. The front stalls are all but sold out.

As I am travelling down from t'north for this gig, I'd welcome the meet beforehand for a couple of liveners.

Cheers

Hi David, and welcome to Talkawhile!  Fez

Well, the SBC's wedsite doesn't reveal any more names unfortunately.

The only other reference I've seen lately is that Jim Moray lists the gig on his website.

Any others?

Cheers

No news on the line-up but I can recommend the Skylon bar at the RFH. It's certainly not cheap but very stylish/upmarket with great views over t'river.

We went for the first time 2 weeks ago and have booked for 1/12
