Steeleye Span - Taliesin Centre, Swansea. Excellent gig. Loads of old stuff, with a few rare ones thrown in ('Twa Corbies' for instance) plus some tracks from their recent album, 'Conflict'. It was the final date on their tour. Interestingly, Maddy announced that she and Peter Knight have recorded an album and will be out on a short tour in the new year.

A long time since I did two gigs in two nights but 24 hours after Bellowhead, it was off to the Winter Gardens in Blackpool. Excellent set from Billy Bragg. 45 minutes of many of his best songs - lovely to hear St Swithin’s Day. Friend I was with had never seen him and was surprised at how warm he was. Squeeze were on fine form but a game of three halves. Half an hour of hits to start with including the wonderful Up the Junction. But then they played their new album in full. It sounded ok, a lot of typical Squeeze songs, but on first listen I would be surprised if any of them featured on the next greatest hits tour. Still, then they got back to the hits and the last 3/4 hour was superb, the highlight being a Cajun flavoured Goodbye Girl. A very good evening all round. |

Bellowhead at the Bridgwater Hall last night. Last time I saw them was ten years ago at the London Palladium on the farewell tour and I hadn’t realised how much I had missed them. Mainly revisiting the Burlesque album with a lot of their “hits” as well, there was still the same energy and fun. A great evening, long may they run.

Sadly I'm not going to make it to see Bellowhead this year - they just aren't playing close enough.

Great night with 70's Doo-Wop-pers Darts last weekend. Haven't stopped smiling or singing their songs since.

Sadly both myself and MrsB have come down with the lurgi so won't be going to Manchester this evening to see Bellowhead.
If anyone would like 2 stalls tickets on a pay-what-you-can-afford basis, drop me a message. |

Signal Meridian : Signals in Autumn. (Blue elan LP, 2026). This is basically a Strawbs tribute album, played by a group of very capable session musicians. It's very well recorded and does justice to most if the songs. I would have said tribute albums were nit really my thing, but I'm glad I got this. Any with any connections to the band? Actually the LP doesn't have 'Who Knows etc.' Google searching for comparative tracklists i am told, incorrectly, that the vinyl has 10 tracks, including 'Who Knows'. It has only 9. Maybe it doesn't fit on the less advanced format you prefer?   Yes, I'm used to this happening- but where I am concerned it's quality over quantity. I think the last 2 Strawbs albums were slimmer on vinyl than their CD counterparts. It's always possible to check out the unheard tracks online. Or if you just have to have them , buy the CD as well ! |
