Richard's   You Me Us  by Music on Vinyl, as a double album.

Also a black friday release  of unreleased live recordings of Richard and Linda.  2LP,  afaik.

Only vinyl buffs need  apply.

Took a chance on a double Move collection album when browsing my local record shop. I knew the singles but none of the album tracks and it's a revelation, fabulous and quite unique sound. What a great band that had largely passed me by until now.

£84 seems expensive to me.

Pensions can only stretch so far.

I saw that advertised yesterday. Interesting. Oddly no Fairporters are mentioned amongst the performers?


I agree it is very odd.  But, as Paul suggests, there is obviously still a chance they will end up being involved....


True. Yet one would have thought that Simon and Peggy, at least, might be among the first to be asked.  RT & DM, being US-based, might not be so easily available.  Ashley of course is probably not available due to his stroke.

£84 a ticket!!

The HU in Bristol last week - Mongolian metal with added horsehead fiddles and overtone singing - first couple of songs were pretty standard metal, could have been any metal band, but their culture started to come through more strongly as the set progressed.  

Support from Skald, whose latest album I'd listened to via youtube... rather disappointing live - way too much tribal drumming and not enough of the light & shade and indeed melody from the album.

Venue was the Prospect Building - bit of a barn, rather basic inside, plenty of food & drink available - at a price!  Angine de Poitrine playing a sold-out gig there next week - my elder son (an accountant) has the Prospect's bar/food manager as a client, so he's going to try to blag me in,


A shame to hear that Skald were underwhelming on stage. They're a lot of fun on CD but, not every band can adapt well to the live environment, I suppose.

I'm in.  I know there are a few 'issues' with the recent Fairport collection, but the Dick Gaughan has proved indispensable over recent months.
