Dee Palmer...in Knighton

My weekend involved a couple of tribute gigs. First of all This Is Floyd at our local community centre. They played here 18 months ago (under their previous name - The Darkside of Pink Floyd) and returned with a slightly different lineup, but the same great music, light show and projections.  We got almost all of DSOTM, quite a few tracks taken from Pulse and most of Wish You Were Here, and were excellent.

On Saturday evening I went to Tavistock Wharf to see Marquee Square Heroes (Fish-era Marillion tribute).  I wasn't quite so taken with these - the guitarist and bass player were both excellent, but I didn't feel I could hear the keyboards so well (may be the fault of the venue sound?), and the vocalist didn't quite channel Fish as well as I would have liked (though as the gig went on it seemed to me that he was probably battling through not feeling well, and videos from other shows seem to show him in better voice, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt).  They gave us the whole of Misplaced Childhood, most of Script, and a few tracks from the other two albums, and even finished the main show with Grendel.  Probably worth a second visit if they come back again.

I play bass with the band 'Bannockburn' and among other gigs, we do a lot of pre-match shows for the Tartan Army in Edinburgh and Glasgow. This Monday we're at Stramash on Cowgate in Edinburgh before and after a screening of the Scotland 'v' Bellarus match.

Our regular drummer can't make it and I'm going to have to put up with a dep, but it's only going to be Iain Bayne ex-RunRig!!!!!!  I'm not a football fan, but on this occasion, I'm somewhat looking forward to it !!

Typo- now fixed.

I'm quite fond of that album. I have no idea what "avpeoper" means though.

Humble Pie  : As Safe as....   LP.


Thanks to AI i immediately learned this is taken from  a  proper source. On my list to buy .

I'm effectively the dealer here, but if I end up keeping it for a while it won't be the end of the world. Mike does follow you around the room a bit, mind...

Genuinely surprised you can bring yourself to part with it.

I'm selling an original painting from '69 of the Incredible String Band by an artist called Bill Gall.

It was on Antiques Roadshow a decade ago... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnxYFdhZCiE (when it was valued at £2k)

It's listed on eBay here https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/257089541122 but I'm open to a private sale too.

Been listening to Niamh Corkey singing at a local pub for the last few months. She sings once every 2 weeks, covering traditional and contemporary folk, Americana, Jazz standards and some of her own songs. She has released an EP on streaming and on CD of 3 original songs and is on Youtube/Instagram/Facebook/TikTok.
