Same here but I have just booked for The Young 'Uns at the Lighthouse in Poole for May next year. At Sidmouth they announced that May/June would be their last big tour for a couple of years

Sadly I'm not going to make it to see Bellowhead this year - they just aren't playing close enough.

Great night with 70's Doo-Wop-pers Darts last weekend.  Haven't stopped smiling or singing their songs since.

Sadly both myself and MrsB have come down with the lurgi so won't be going to Manchester this evening to see Bellowhead.

If anyone would like 2 stalls tickets on a pay-what-you-can-afford basis, drop me a message.

Signal Meridian  :  Signals in Autumn.  (Blue elan LP, 2026).

This is basically a Strawbs  tribute album, played by a group of very capable session musicians.  It's very well  recorded and does justice to most if the songs.

I would have said tribute albums were nit really my thing, but I'm glad I got this.


Any with any connections to the band?  
Doesn't look like it  but WKWTTG is on the album.


Actually the LP doesn't have 'Who Knows etc.'

Google searching for comparative tracklists i am told, incorrectly, that the vinyl  has 10 tracks, including  'Who Knows'.  It   has only 9.  


Maybe it doesn't fit on the less advanced format you prefer? Wink Grin


Yes, I'm used to this happening-  but where I am concerned it's quality over quantity.  I think the last  2 Strawbs albums were slimmer on vinyl than their CD counterparts.  It's always possible  to check out the unheard tracks online.  Or if you just have to have them , buy the CD as well !

I read through the insert notes last night and it seems not.   Just long time  admirers of Strawbs.
