Jasmine Myra  yesterday evening.

Very melodic,  atmospheric jazz / fusion.  

A relatively new artist but worth checking out if  contemporary jazz is your thing.

I have that one. I saw him with Fairport, very good. Show of Hands version of 'Next Best Western' is superb. Fairport covered 'Reunion Hill, and made a good job of it.

I have friends from the states coming over, but I'm afraid my days attending outdoor festivals are behind me. (Ask Mrs. J From A how much she enjoyed honeymooning in the field at The Day in the Garden Festival in Bethel, NY back in 1998. And her enthusiasm has only grown since. [Sarcasm emoji])

Hopefully, I can figure out a way to see the Boys elsewhere next year. Try to have fun without me!

I agree but I think it will sell out easily and quickly anyway.

[quote author=mickf link=topic=47610.msg791193#msg791193 date=I discovered that Richard Shindell, whose songs both Show of Hands and Fairport have covered, will be playing there tonight. Unfortunately I don't think I can make it.

He supported Show of Hands on tour a few years ago......try '"13 Songs You May or May Not Have Heard Before", well worth a listen.

Seconded!  

I went with my daughter to see Steve Knightly and the Backyards Band, at the Acapela, Pentyrch, Great evening. Steve was on top form, supported by some stellar musicianship from the band. Some oldies and newer songs got an airing. Support act, Megan Henwood was a bit nervous, but she grew into the material and ended up winning the audience over. She joined the boys for the encore ('Cousin Jack') which, of course, was the perfect way to end the show. I discovered that Richard Shindell, whose songs both Show of Hands and Fairport have covered, will be playing there tonight. Unfortunately I don't think I can make it.

What a career!

Richard Thompson and Iain Matthews are mentioned as special guests for Fairport's set, so it's a pretty solid bet that they will both be playing during the weekend.
