I made my usual raid on bandcamp on Friday, and purchased a few items including Fas by Breabach (preparing myself for them at Cropredy, as I haven't heard them before), Solstice's recent remaster of Silent Dance, their 1984 debut, fieldlily's debut EP Grow (another Cropredy connection - they are 2/3 of Wildwood Kin, who played some years ago) and another new release from Andy Latimer of Camel - The Road Home. He has been releasing a number of pieces on Bandcamp in the last months.  I'd love to see Camel at Cropredy one day...


How's the Silent Dance sound - different/better?  Not sure if we'll see Camel out there again, but it's a nice thought.


I didn't have the original, so can't really comment, I'm afraid.  And I agree about Camel, but I can hope (same as I would love to see James Taylor or Mark Knopfler there one day!).

Country Joe left us yesterday aged 84.

RIP Country Joe McDonald - his headline set on the Thursday night at Cropredy 2005 with his band (basically Country Joe & The Fish without Barry Melton) was a magical experience.

wasnt it just! amazing!

Does anybody want a copy of 'Ashley Hutchings - Always Chasing Rainbows' by Brian Hinton & Geoff Wall, the second volume of his biography?

As most of you will know this was only released on CD-Rom, never in a print edition.

For reasons of abject incompetence I've got two copies.  I wanted to read the book the other month so I purchased another copy (and this is what I paid).  Now I've found the original.

Perfect condition.  £25 to include Tracked48 insured UK p&p.  Overseas at cost.

Augie Meyers, organist for the Sir Douglas Quintet and Texas Tornados, age 85.

She’s About A Mover is one of rock’s greatest early tunes, not least because of the insanely simple and elegant organ riff. The late Doug Sahm (Sir Douglas himself) and Augie were from just down the road in San Antonio, and they were entwined with Texas roots music for their entire careers. RIP
