Dick Gaughan Live in the 70s.

A 2 cd set, the first with Aly Bain from 1972 and the second a solo gig at the St Andrews Folk Club in 1977. It comes with a booklet which includes A Homage to Gaughan written by Robin Dransfield.



Mine arrived today too...are they all signed?


I was one of the people who didn't receive this immediately. I got it sorted out by Colin and now  ihave received a 2nd copy!   I think one of them at least is  signed.

And...Big Big Train touring next Autumn...


I've bought a ticket for the Bath show. That'll be a nice little pre-birthday present to myself.


I bought one for the RNCM.  Don't know a lot of their stuff, especially the newer material but am intrigued...

An expedition to the 1865 in Southampton to see a prog-tastic double bill (or so we thought) of Colosseum and Soft Machine, both in their 2025 incarnations.

The venue filled up with, to quote a review of a previous night on this tour, "97% old white men who go and watch 70's bands."

Soft Machine kicked off proceedings : the mighty quartet of guitarist John Etheridge, saxophone and keys player Theo Travis, bassist Fred Thelonious Baker and drummer Asaf Sirkis gave the audience a complete and utter masterclass in progressive jazz-rock. Such a powerful display we were left wondering how Colosseum could follow it.

Unfortunately, they couldn't. Their bassist Mark Clarke came onstage and took the mic to announce that guitarist Dave "Clem" Clempson had been taken seriously unwell, and thus Colosseum couldn't perform without him.

After exchanging a few conspiratorial whispers with the rest of Soft Machine, John Etheridge called a 15 minute intermission and informed us they'd be playing another set for us imminently.

Our disappointment at not getting to see Colosseum was ameliorated by another 45 spontaneous minutes of Soft Machine's musical excellence, and they did not disappoint.

Overall, this was the sort of live gig that inspires and feeds the musical soul, especially when events took an unexpected turn. Hope Clem makes a speedy recovery and is back in action asap...

Martyn Joseph at the Laundry Theatre, Bowness. First time there for us but won’t be the last - a lovely space, virtually in the round and very good acoustics. MJ on great form with a mixture of old favourites and songs from the new album, Troubled Horses. Looking forward to playing it later.

Evening made by meeting old friends whom we hadn’t seen for25 years. It was if we had been with them last week.

Not a well known name from a not well known band, but Simon Jaquet, vocalist of Caedmon, Christian folk-rock band, much loved in some circles, has died.

Here's one of his https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5vGMSGKsys


Ah, that's a shame. Great band, Caedmon. Listened to their albums just a couple of weeks ago. A very enjoyable couple of hours.
