Sound of the Sirens were very good last Friday - I hadn't seen them since Cropredy (8 years ago now, I think?), but they are just as good, if not better.

Blackbeard's Tea Party a week before were a little more disappointing, I felt.  The very poor turnout probably didn't help, but I felt it took a while for them to get into the groove - I was struggling to pull the tunes out of the noise and energy, but when they did break through, they were fine.

It has been far too long since I last listened to this - but it has to be in my all-time top... twenty, maybe... albums: 10,000 Maniacs In My Tribe.  And it's all down to RT - Don't Cry was played on the before gig tape when I went to see him at a pub in the middle of Nottingham in 1987 (the first time I'd seen him live).  It came on, I turned to my friend and asked 'what's this?' and the next day was straight out to buy a copy of the album.  The same day was when I picked up Step Outside by The Oyster Band, so all in all it was a very important couple of days musically!

I'm looking forward to seeing the chaps next Thursday down the road in Exeter, and will be bringing three others with me - one local friend who is a Cropredy semi-regular but hasn't seen them outside Cropredy for many many years, a friend of his who I think may never have seen Fairport before, despite enjoying their music, and an American friend of mine who just happens to be visiting then, and is a real Fairport virgin, but I think will enjoy them.

Last minute decision to head across to Manchester tonight.  I'm staying at the Ancoats Travelodge.

Anybody around and fancy a pre- or post- meetup?

Drop me a line at davidmjs at gmail dot com if you fancy it.


We'll be there. not been to this venue before, although I think I may have sat my accountancy exams there in the 70's!! Is there a decent pub nearby and whats the parking like? As its friday evening, probably set out early and avoid the motorway.

A bit too far for us, hope you have a good time, David.

In fact we're not going to be able to see Fairport until August. Whilst I understand that costs are escalating for everyone, including Fairport, that also includes us. £37 per seat for our local gig in Swansea is just not on the cards for us.

I hear that most, if not all, the gigs on this tour are selling out, so I don't feel bad about not going, especially given the cost of MOT-related repairs on our car yesterday and our campervan in the very near future.

So, have fun, everyone, see you on a field.

Dolores Keane at 72. Typical Irish wild child turned national treasure. RIP


I’ve just seen this today, sad news.  She was a great singer from a great family of musicians but didn’t have to go looking for grief and sadness in her life.
RIP Dolores
