Am I right in thinking tickets go on sale at 11am tomorrow?

I saw a Facebook announcement but there's nothing on the website and nothing about the lineup (not that that matters!)


Yes.

The website says We plan to announce the ‘Line-up so far’ and place tickets on sale at 11.00 on Monday 8 December.

Just what we needed

Hi Everyone

The Toast was great fun and raised a very good amount for the Teenage Cancer Trust.

I'm hoping that even more Talkawhilers attend this year , and in particular more brew up ,(as Andy Leslie described them),"interesting concoctions.

Don't be shy ,get brewing and lets strip Nathan White of his chances of repeating his 2025 title of brewer of the most foul drink.

The Pete Roth Trio in Cranleigh last night.

Guitarist Pete Roth, bassist Mike Pratt and a rejuvenated recently out of retirement former Yes and King Crimson stick swiper Bill Bruford gave us two sets of beautifully complex jazz rock fusion executed with pleasure and consummate skill.

Having enjoyed Bill Bruford's expertise since I first saw him back in 1987 on BBC 2's Rock School demonstrating the then new-fangled Simmons electronic percussion, and discovering the magic of his work with Yes and King Crimson later on, it was a joy to see him at 76 years young having so much fun just being the drummer in a band again.

A tight and very entertaining unit, I'd love to see them again at some point.


Pete and Mike must be pinching themselves.  BB has always seemed like a lovely unassuming chap.  Gutted I missed him with KC by a few years - first time I saw them in 2000 it was down to the Double Duo lineup.  I know he went to see the final 3 drummer lineup.  Would have loved to have seen him guest with them.

Three weeks in Rajastan softened by a dozen plus cricket TV channels, early 70's Peel and Freakzone programmes from Mixcloud and Iain Anderson on Radio Scotland.

The other band we recently saw…I have decided to confess…was The ELO Experience!

The front man, Brian Cummings, was totally hilarious…in fact, his first joke was a bit ‘near the mark’ for me and I wondered if it was going to be like that throughout, but actually he was very funny. However, throughout they showed massive respect to the music and to the work of Jeff Lynne. The lead violinist was especially impressive, taking the solos in Living Thing and singing the operatic parts in Rockaria.

The theatre of around 1500 was sold out with mainly more mature folks, all of whom ended upsinging along and some of whom were dancing in the aisles.

So all in all, and entertaining evening, giving due respect to the originals, whom they clearly held in high esteem.

Simon Kirke is saying on FB that Tetsu Yamauchi has died.

I remember the Kossoff Kirke Tetsu Rabbit album,  way back.
