As someone who, like AK, has lived in Todmorden, there are some very problematic elements to the man. But his huge contribution to music can never be doubted...

It’s a real shame, he was clearly a huge enthusiast regarding all types of music. I remember a notable Whistle Test where he boarded Neil Young’s tour bus and delightedly played him the latest Green on Red album.

Sad to hear this. We saw him at the Brampton Festival one year. He'd been invited to add a couple of acts to the bill and he chose Half Man Half Biscuit and Chris Jagger. He interviewed Jagger before he took to the stage with his band.
Here's a clip of Andy having a chat to Rory Gallagher about the blues... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uD5Ot-SXCMo |

Yeah, very sad news. Joking until the end, he is reported to have said, "I am determined not to die before Benjamin Netanyahu, Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump and Ant' n 'Dec. That should keep me going for a while."
RIP Andy. |

I've always enjoyed listening to a bit of Supertramp, mainly the Breakfast and Quietest Moments albums so I downloaded a copy of Crime of the Century and what a great record it is.
There's an excellent live version of 'Bloody Well Right' filmed in London in '77 on YouTube which is worth a look if you're a fan. |

Two albums just purchased off eBay that I never knew existed.
Firstly, that Pentangle/Steeleye mash up you've (probably) never heard of: https://www.discogs.com/release/14386907-Peter-Knight-Danny-Thompson-Peter-Knight-Danny-Thompson (it's 'just' two tracks of improv, but is very 'nice' nonetheless) Second an album from a tour that I attended (in Kendal). Little Feat's Paul Barrere and Fred Tackett Live in the UK https://www.discogs.com/release/12133176-Paul-Barrere-Fred-Tackett-Live-In-The-UK-2008 Some bloke called Phil Beer on the violin....Got to say I've got no recollection of that, so maybe it was just some dates, or maybe I've just forgotten. |

This just in. As The Long Ryders are wont to put on their album sleeves, good luck and good fortune to all bands everywhere.

Dave Whetstone has just released a new album called Winding To You https://talkingelephantrecords.bandcamp.com/album/winding-to-you. Recorded with a number of ex-Albions following the Ashley H 80th birthday celebration last year. I had a listen yesterday and have ordered a copy. Those who enjoyed mid-period Albion Band will probably enjoy it. I've just got that too. It's top drawer material. |

Lots of Clannad and of Maire Brennan's solo albums the last couple of days, for obvious reasons. I only have Macalla which i bought in the 80s. Considering more - Magical Ring? If you don't have a thing against compilation albums, there's a very good 2CD one called In A Lifetime which covers everything from the very beginning up to the most recent albums. I'd highly recommend that. Thanks Will - I'll check that out. |
