I was unaware at that time that the LP title referred - apparently/allegedly - to a particular, er, "flavour" of oral sex!  Perhaps not quite that. The album's title supposedly comes from Cambridge slang for sex, commonly used by Pink Floyd friend and occasional roadie, Iain "Emo" Moore, who would say, "I'm going back to the house for some ummagumma". According to Moore, he made up the term himself. - Wikipedia I sit corrected!  |

Jah Wobble & band playing "Metal Box In Dub" at Bristol Market Exchange Thurs 16th May. Late finish, apparently, so might be an overnight stay. It WILL be an overnight stay. I will be attending the funeral of one of my oldest pals in the morning of the 16th, down in Leatherhead, so an evening of loud music - and a few beers - will be most welcome. My pal Nick would approve, I'm sure... |

He was an unannounced surprise guest with FC, like Gary Brooker, Joe Brown, Planty, Roy Wood before him. Also Yusuf Stevens, except he let the 'Cat' out of the bag himself. So many different categories of surprise guests! Yes, he was indeed of the ‘unannounced, surprise’ category as opposed to the normal ‘surprise’ category or the ‘un-named special guest’ category etc….. |

Maybe they should announce who the special guest is going to be. Although it could, depending on who they are, actually make things worse? A shrug of the shoulders is probably not what is needed here? My feeling (as I think I mentioned before) is that it will be someone who is a (reasonably) big name, but they will only do a 20 min slot just before Fairport (or with Fairport?), and if they named them, there would be complaints from people who bought tickets expecting to see a full set. I may, of course, be completely wrong... (it has been known). I think I'm right in saying that previously announced 'special guests' have always played with Fairport, not as a separate unbilled act. I can't think of any exceptions to that - can anyone? Roger Hodgson? |

I wonder if reverting to the 2-day format might be worth consideration? The trouble with that is that the Thursday in the village (which used to be a highpoint of the festivals for me) has been ruined by the pubs wanting their own festivals and charging for them.... |

Wendy and I went to see Leveret at Pontardawe Arts Centre tonight. All three on top form, but the audience size was not great - around 55 paying punters. How bands can keep going in the face of certain losses every time they tour, I have no idea. Here's an interesting Guardian article on this very subject, published today. I didn't mention it because I wanted to be upbeat, but Teddy drew about 35 people to 3Ten Live Sunday night. The venue is 350 capacity. He remarked that his Saturday show in Round Top, at a three-day dance-hall extravaganza headlined by Rodney Crowell no less, drew a sparse crowd. He did sell out the handful of CDs he produced after the show, so there's that. I listened to a Sandy Denny interview in which she referenced not having any money. She explained that she had to pay her band, so every time she got her hands on a little money, it immediately went back out the door. Sounds like nothing's changed for artists at that level of success. |
