The programme features part of a session by Pentangle. Reunion era 2008-2011, presumably? Forgot to mention : the tape is 40 years old. 1986 Pentangle. |

A Maxell Metal C60 cassette, with half hour of Folk on 2 on one side. Introduced by Jim lloyd.
I taped a lot of fm radio stuff over the years,and much of it still sounds amazingly good . And this was before digital really took hold. The programme features part of a session by Pentangle. |

I had a similar experience as Andy a few years ago here in NY. He had a few moments as Andy described but approached it with humour and experience of a life on stage, and the rather large crowd (by NY folk audience standards) were understanding…also as Andy described. He then shared the stage….alter? (Gig was in a large church on the Upper West Side) with co-headliner John Doyle, which was wonderful! Sad to realize it will be my last time seeing him.
Dementia is such a beast…my mum has it and is declining. The sad thing is the sense of what is still there…perhaps aching to get out, yet lost in the confusion. Sometimes mom will speak or sing little snatches of Irish, which she spoke as a child growing up in Donegal. We all grab our phones to record it when she does |

I saw Martin and Eliza perform on Sunday evening at the Celtic Connections tribute gig for Dick Gaughan. Martin took a couple of attempts at starting the song and had to be prompted on the lyrics (Bonnie Woodha'). However the muscle memory is there and he played guitar beautifully as he played and sang the whole song. His voice is still strong. The reception he got was overwhelming and yes I was a blubbing heap as a result. Of course no one had any idea that would be his final performance and I guess it was sort of fitting in a way that he was surrounded by fellow musicians who all obviously adore him. Dick Gaughan said on stage that Martin and Archie Fisher were the two he had learned the most from. I've seen Martin in various line ups, with Chris Parkinson and Norma, with Swarb and just him solo. I feel enormously privileged to have see him live, Dick Gaughan too. I wish I had seen Nic Jones. I wish I had been there - it sounds amazing. I, thankfully, have seen Nic (with his son, c.2013, I think)...I'm told I have seen Dick G but have absolutely no recall of it at all, sadly. |

I just got an email from the Royal Mail notifying me that a shipment has gone out from Glasgow. I assume in a few weeks the Dick Gaughan box set will arrive on my door step. (International shipments take flipping forever these days.) The box set is a great collection of work, beautifully presented. |
