Just bought tickets for Lindisfarne (last seen when I was at university in 1985) at Exmouth, and for Steeleye Span and for Kate Rusby, both in Exeter.

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.


Sounds good. I enjoyed their recent couple of albums, and saw this was coming out too.

Just announced - the two-day Crossroad Guitar Festival, for the first time hosted by my city at the Moody Center, late September!

Eric Clapton, Pete Townshend (!), and a host of luminaries. Can’t wait, and will try to attend both days.

Kristin Hersh.

Not till October but looking forward to it.


She's always fantastic - love Kristin  Smiley


Also going seeing Hejira, the Joni Mitchel tribute, at BotW on Friday (my birthday Smiley ). At least I hope I am - I've dropped enough hints to my wife that it would make a good birthday present!


I thought about getting tickets for this too - Hejira is hands-down my favourite Joni album. Enjoy your birthday!

Went to see Gong + Henge in Liverpool on Saturday. I didn't enjoy Henge so much, but I was definitely in the minority. Gong on the other hand were phenomenal. My mate has previously asked me to go see them a few times but I'm not much of a fan having only listened to Flying Teapot, and although I like it I've never felt the need to investigate further. He recently suggested some songs by the current incarnation plus Master Builder from You and I was converted. The new album (Bright Spirit) is very good, but admittedly I'm approaching with very few preconceptions so if you're a fan of a previous era of the band your viewpoint might be different.

For the past few years I've been to see Soft Machine at Band on the Wall but this year's data coincides with us having a few days in Ambleside. I had a look at the tour dates and coincidentally they are playing Zeffirellis in Ambleside when we are there. My wide firmly declined to accompany me but my 16 year old daughter said she'd come along. I've given her the option of leaving early if she isn't enjoying it but she's already said she'd stay until the end. We'll see...
