3 CD set of John Renbourn in December. Cherry Red.
It's themed around his electric playing, and some at least of the stuff has been out before. Notably the Lost Sessions album which came out quietly in 1996. |

Jigsaw.
The mystery album. I won't reveal who it is in case people like the surprise element. It's a nice item for collectors. Not by an artist I'm familiar with, though I have known about them for a long time. |

A new album would be very interesting, providing the songs were new and not just rehashes of past glories. Agreed. I think Myths and Heroes was the first album for a while that didn't include a re-recorded song and it was all the better for it. I am just relistening to Myths and Heroes for the first time in a while, and it stands out to me as the best album of the post-Maart era by quite a way. There are some great favourites of mine on there - John Condon, Weightless, The Man In The Water amongst others. It's an incredibly low bar (for me) but I've always thought Over the Next Hill was the strongest Chris era album. But I really like John Condon and rate the other two you mention so I'll give it a first spin in a decade or more... |

Added to the above;
Detta Kensey William the Conqueror and The Bar Steward Sons of Val Doonican It all looks very good, but the Friday line up is becoming awesome. |

That's Don Backhurst there, on the left. Known as 'the Red Indian' in less enlightened times, he was a ubiquitous character for many years, both in Fairport circles and locally in the Guildford area. The last time I saw him, he was wading through the mud at the top of the field, in sandals, with precious festival food in both hands! A couple of days later, he died. Hard to reconcile that laid-back hippie with a veteran of D-Day, but there you go... I grew up in Guildford and Don was well known and quite a character! A man of many parts! His son (Tony) was a musician and had a band (House) that played regularly in the area Cheers Slippy |

Danny Thompson's Whatever : On the Road (jazz in Britain 3CD 2026).
Good folk/jazz from the 80s/90s. There's some repetition of tracks, but the sound is good and it's still value at around £20. |
