First gig of the year will be Cohen Braithwaite-Kilcoyne at Launceston Folk Club on Sun 22nd. Looking forward to this. I saw him at Towersey some years back, and had hoped to see him in the Amazing Grace tour at the end of last year, but it was cancelled during to illness sadly. His recent Play Up The Music album is very good. He's always fantastic live, as are Granny's Attic (of which he is one third) |

The Longest Johns-Pieces Of Eight. I have become well and truly hooked on this group in recent months. They tick a lot of the right boxes for me-great singing and song selection, with a healthy dose of humour. This album contains a string of EP's last year with 24 tracks. There are some really strong versions of some nautical standards-South Australia, Ye Mariners All, Leave Her Johnny, John Kanaka, coupled with some lesser known ones-Paddy Lay Back, Roll Alabama and Doggerbank. For all the sense of humour and little ad libs in some songs, they deliver other strongs with nothing but hearty singing and wonderful harmonies-Cadgwith Anthem, Lowlands, Padstow Drinking Song. The one that really highlights their serious side is The Wreck Of The Dandenong, which is quite simply stunning. Definitely recommend. Thanks Rob. Will look out for that. I enjoyed them when they supported Bellowhead a couple of years ago, but haven't heard any of their recorded output. For myself, I have been listening to Big Big Train's new album, Woodcut, which is their first complete concept album. I'm finding it a solid progression of their sound, and I'm looking forward to seeing them playing some (all?) of it later this year. |

Ah, ok. Fair point, although I'm not sure there's much evidence of that yet is there? Probably best not to risk it though! In any case, he does have the strong advantages in Trump's U.S. of being a) very rich, and b) very Caucasian. #word Albeit there is an Irish builder, married and with a work permit who’s been banged up for five months so far. In the meantime, those of us who bought tickets for Chelmsford in a sort of last chance to see frame of mind are now faced with the dilemma of whether Alanis Morissette and Skunk Anansie are quite the types to fill that Neil-shaped hole? In fairness, I skipped SA at BDs a few years ago and the next day everyone who saw them was raving that they were incredible live. We did and they were!  |

RIP Andrew. I liked his drumming on the Pogues albums. Did he have a pre/post Pogues career? Don't recall seeing his name out there much in that regard.

Just found, and bought, a copy from a 2nd hand shop. And a John Prine Anthology.

SA were certainly great live in a tiny sweaty dive in Canterbury 30 years ago. AM is entertaining and enjoyable in concert but rather devoid of substance (for me), and neither really scratch that itch, do they? |
