I asked on the bookface for the set list for MGW as I’m trying to identify a particular song but nobody has it. Anyone here got it?

The song was I think a hit within the last 10 years. I have no idea of the words but there’s quite a rousing chorus. Mr B thinks it’s from Hair (the musical) and it’s certainly in that vein, but I think it’s more recent. Any help gratefully received!

Oops sorry, meant Chris (Leslie). I think many of his songs are brilliant but some rather twee.
Re the "ands", she introduced quite a few lines with "and", which to me was irritating.
What have I got myself into here?



Thanks for resolving that  Wink I thought you probably meant Chris, but didn't like to presume.

Yes…and no beard…just floppy, black hair.

Might you go so far as to say ‘Bonny’? 🤔😄


Hee heee it didn’t take me nine hours to get THIS one…

Anyone know who the person  was, whom I spotted down near the veggie stall, on the left…He was about 5’6”, slight build, slim features and had dyed black floppy hair.

I am certain he was a singer/musician possibly from 80s/90s…but I can’t get the name to mind!

Gave me a lovely smile as if he knew I had recognised him, but I didn’t want to go up and say ‘Were we at school together, were you on Talkawhile, or were you in my record collection?’




I’ll open the bidding with Steve Hogarth.


Yes, Dr Google AI thought that too…and Paul Young, Jarvis Cocker, Ian Broudie, Marc Almond and more…but nope!

Half price tickets for the Carthy box launch in London (with MC in attendance)

From Colin Harper on FB (ignore the first sentence or so):

This might possibly be too far out of the remit for the group - my apologies Ian, if it is. I'll risk it because it might be the last time any Martin Carthy fans in the London area have a chance to see him in person and thank him for whatever his music has meant to them - it's a 'Carthy at the BBC' box set launch event at Cecil Sharp House on Monday night (August 24) - with a new 50% discount code just announced for last-minute tickets: CARTHY50
Martin retired from live performance in January, of course, with the announcement of his Alzheimer's diagnosis - but Eliza's bringing him down to the event to say hello to anyone who wishes, and be in the perhaps surreal situation of hearing a panel discuss his career and hear his songs performed by others, albeit his great pal Jon Wilks and his daughter Eliza. 🙂
I can't foresee another situation in which Martin will be at a public event in London, and I think we'd all agree his role in English folk/traditional music from the 60s onwards has been colossal - so if you want to say hello and thank you, now's the time!

Slight build?  Cropredy?  You sure?   Wink
