Travis and Turin Brakes. Both bands in tremendous form and thoroughly enjoyable. TB plugging a new album, Travis playing the hits.

One of the best, Country Pie, is missing....

I saw a posting showing that RT is playing at Towersey this year and also on the bill is a band called William the Conqueror who I've just been checking out on YouTube and Bandcamp. Not bad at all on first listen...

Yes, that was a shame for those with tickets 👎

David Rovics at Rotherham Trades Club this Tuesday.

Great venue but woefully attended.

He was extraordinary, his politics were a little extreme for me (as they would probably be for Corbyn) but very inspiring ... recommended.

Here'e a concert recorded on this tour in Berlin - https://youtu.be/UM0uJedM_zY

Isn't it weird how your mind works when it comes to music. I probably haven't listened to Martin Stephenson & The Daintees in more than a decade but today it is exactly want I want to hear so I have broken out my copy of There Comes A Time.

But I wonder why it suddenly came into my head today?

You lot are fast off the mark  - I just saw it in a Spin mailing and they're often way ahead (No, I don't buy anything from them).

HArd to see who this is aimed at really, except Fairport completists.

I constructed it as a playlist yesterday. It is a surprisingly dull listen and gives a distorted view of the band. Swarb, for example, despite playing on several of the recordings, is barely present here.

I haven't got the George Jackson track, but apart from that, I have the rest already.

Can't see buying this for one track.



Edit: It's an additional track from a later version of Nine than mine, but I have retrieved it via a pal. Definitely not in the market for this album.
