On Electric he had Stuart Duncan on fiddle and on Sweet Warrior Sara Watkins played on a couple of tracks with two violins and a viola on She Sang Angels to Rest.

Seem to remember Aly Bain played on the Jimmy Shand song on Rumor & Sigh.

I'll let someone else check all his other albums.

Henry The Human Fly and Morris On for starters.

As I'm listening to Dream Attic for the first time in years, I'm reminded that on the recordings for that album his band included a violinist (Joel Zifkin). I can't think of many other albums or tours where he has included a fiddler in his line-up.  I remember when the BBC left the TV Centre they recorded a concert of him with Swarb (though I don't think that has ever been released), but can anyone else remember him working with a fiddler?

Just got tickets for Band of Horses in October at Manchester Albert Hall. Feels like I saw them quite recently but it was in fact about 18 years ago.

A small wave of gigs is coming up, some of which I already have tickets for, and some of which I'm simply watching.

Artists include Los Lobos, Little Feat, Melissa Etheridge, Human League, Marshall Crenshaw, Jorma Kaukonen, Emmylou Harris, Carl Palmer's ELP Legacy, Echo and the Bunnymen, Rhiannon Giddens, David Lee Roth, and Yitzhak Perlman. (Using the Oxford comma to make clear that Roth and Perlman are not on the same bill.)

The calendar is getting so crowded, I'm starting to pass on shows I would ordinarily see. I skipped ex-Heartbreaker Benmont Tench last night, and I'm skipping Kofi Baker/Malcolm Bruce's Sons of Cream tonight in New Braunfels. Too old and tired.

Money well spent 😃 Fantastic show, over 2 hours including 2 new songs.

Fun weekend just gone with Skyclad (the inventors of folk-metal and surely a Saturday teatime shoe-in for Cropredy), a Queen tribute (very cheap tickets) and blues legend John Verity (who I have genuinely been trying to see for over 30 years and never managed it).  Forgotten just how good Skyclad are.

Got Darwen & Lytham lined up as duo shows, then Southport and Todmorden with the band.  Hopefully the usual Appletreewick gig will happen, and then the Christmas bash on December 12th.

He's always fantastic live, as are Granny's Attic (of which he is one third)

First gig of the year will be Cohen Braithwaite-Kilcoyne at Launceston Folk Club on Sun 22nd.  Looking forward to this.  I saw him at Towersey some years back, and had hoped to see him in the Amazing Grace tour at the end of last year, but it was cancelled during to illness sadly.  His recent Play Up The Music album is very good.
