They've got so many of them now. I hope the quality stays decent.

I have to say that the hits of Beardy Festival for me were Ian Prowse & Amsterdam and Nick Parker & The False Alarms.

I'd heard of neither, but they've obviously been going for a long time and are blindingly good.


I thought they were brilliant too, but my absolute favourites were Juniper who were awesome. I think you were working when they were on

The Eighteenth Day of May :  Same   (duochrome green 2LP,  Circuitry,  2026).

It's a bit folk rock by numbers



Fwiw, I think it's a lot better than that... and they gave very good gig indeed.  All gone on to do other interesting things as well and lovely people to boot.

Addendum: I suspect this wasn't quite the criticism that I heard.  It's hard not to criticise somebody else by explaining what I mean....and I can't, but...Magpie Arc, to my ears they're folk-rock by numbers.  Now, I like folk-rock so that's ok...and I like Magpie Arc, but I think The 18th Day do something a little different with the source.  Damned if I can define what it is, though...
 
  It wasn't meant to  sound too dismissive- I try to give  artists their  due.   The guitar jangles in a pleasing way,  though  sometimes I'd like it to jangle  with  a bit more variation,  if you get my meaning.  And the thing of burying the vocal.  I wonder if it's an identifiable trend? 'Hazier'  - deliberately so?   Outside of folk, more or less,  The Sundays did it,  and I absolutely  love them,  have spent  over £100  on their vinyl reissues.
