Richard Thompson's new album - Hippies, Thugs & Heroes.
Downloaded and listened to with morning coffee - it's one of his best in years. Featuring memorable songs, the usual fabulous guitar work, and even a silver band ! 60 years into his career, at 77 years young, Richard's pulled a really good one out of the bag. Purchase and listen with confidence. So good, I might just have to give it another spin.. |

I hope nothing gets in the way of having a great time. I'm just coming out of a nasty bout of Covid that has cost me 2 gigs and a weekend in Lithuania
 I saw Gong 3 weeks ago though and they were great, even though Kavus was missing as his mother was sadly passing away. I particularly look forward to hearing how Here & Now are, they're one of my all-time favourite bands. I even managed to drag them out of semi-retirement once to play a gig in my home town, and I managed to break even on it too! |

A whole weekend of (mostly old school) Gong-related music in Glastonbury. What's not to like (apart, arguably, from the price)? Well, I'm looking forward to it. https://www.planetgong.co.uk/gigs/gathering-2026.shtml Maybe sit this one out, Jules? I sooo want to got to this but don't think I can. I went to the Melkweg Gathering 20 years ago and it was one of the best weekends of my life. You won't regret it if you're going David. I could have but didn't go 20 years ago (saw Gong loads around the 1990s and 2000s though, including lots of the reunions...South Bank etc etc) and have always regretted it. Booked myself a nice little pad in Glasto and am really looking forward to it. Fingers crossed no health b*****ks gets in the way... |

Hopefully, one day, somebody will answer as to why so many (particularly American) Deadheads are right wing. I suspect it's that RW/Utilitarian crossover point, but what do I know... Its an interesting question. There are multiple enclaves within that community that encompasse the whole spectrum of values and lifestyles. If you've witnessed an indordinate amount of right leaning Deadheads, you might have tapped into one of those enclaves due to a shared interest that has nothing to do with politics at all. Example: If you happened to have been a tape trader - MANY traders are boarding school alumni. In the late 70s through the early '80s, trading became a big thing within the boarding school networks. They, in turn, introduced the Dead to their friends back home further building the enclave. Most of these folks did not become hippies, but retained their upper middle class Republican leaning identities. |

I picked up the Rick Wakeman 5 Classic albums set at the market yesterday, for not very much (together with a Jon Lord solo album). I only had the 6 Wives of Henry VIII before, and had heard Journey to the Centre of the Earth when he played it at Cropredy a couple of years ago, but was otherwise buying fairly blind. I listened to Journey... first. That was OK. Then The Myths & Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Oh. My. Word! Was it really as bad as it seemed on first listen? Logic says I should listen again to find out. Emotion says I shouldn't ever let anything like that near my ears again! I mean, there are a few good tunes in there, amongst the dross, but the rest seemed like a bunch of ideas thrown together with no quality control applied. What do others think? Should I try again, or just let it lie...? This morning I have moved on to No Earthly Connection to see if that is any better. I'm where you are or were, Will. i love 6 wives and only have a couple of other albums - The Piano Album itself is nice - revisits classic Yes, Strawbs as simple piano tunes. I have been warned off King Arthur before, but may yet pick that up on CD , along with Journey. I have seen RW 2ce in concert with the English Rock Ensemble and I have to say that both times they were amazing. |

Fairport last night at The Acapela, Pentyrch (the first of two nights at this venue). It was a great evening, with the boys being on top form. First things first, it was Simon's birthday and he was treated to a chorus of 'Happy Birthday to You' from the audience. The evening was mostly what you would expect, but there were one or two surprises I haven't heard these songs in a while.
My favourite moments were Chris singing the lovely 'My Love is in America', which is one of my favourites of his songs, and Simon's rendition of 'Fotheringay'. All in all, an enjoyable night that shows there's life in the old dogs yet. |
