Tonight, a Genesis tribute band at the Pavilion, Llandrindrod Wells.

They're called "The Watch" I believe.

And Hawkwind, Colin!

Next Folkscape gig is Gilmore & Roberts on the 8th of April. It's their 20th anniversary this year and they've a new album of re-recordings of old songs coming out next month.

As for an actual gig Harp & A Monkey are playing an afternoon gig at the Met in Bury on April the 4th.

Also might be tempted to go through to Settle to see one or more of Mikey Kenney, Gigspanner Big Band and Martin Stephenson who are all playing there between the 3rd and 9th April.

I have the expanded Sweet Child 2CD from some years ago, Castle label.  Love it because you get what seems more like a full concert, plus decent bonus studio tracks .

The terrific new Long Ryders album, High Noon Hymns. Not pulling up any trees, but perfectly serviceable. Will particularly appeal to folk who enjoyed ‘Run, Dusty Run’ from their earlier oeuvre, for example.

Meant to post this earlier. There's a live stream of Reg Meuross going out this evening on Folkscape. He's playing his Woody Guthrie album with Marion Fleetwood on fiddle and vocals and an accordion player whose name I've either missed or he hasn't been introduced yet.

Last year's advert says... "Sellers just rock up at the gate!"

Having a Pentangle and Bert Jansch solo day having downloaded the expanded release of Sweet Child.

Just listened to Bert's Moonshine and now on to Birthday Blues with Danny T and Terry Cox on the bass and drums.
