I thought he was amazing at Cropredy 2004 (my first one!) but there you go...!
It was also my first Cropredy and we enjoyed him, but we were a bit giddy with it all!!  Roll Eyes

I’ve seen him twice since and enjoyed him but I doubt I’ll go to see him again.

First gig of the year last Saturday was the incredible Barsteward Sons of Val Doonican. More Val offspring have been discovered and they are now a 5-piece.

What an evening! No wonder they are selling out  Cheesy energy, superb musician-&-wordship, hilarious. What a night!

I've just returned my ticket to Cecil Sharp House as I can no longer make it.  From what was said to me, I'm not entirely convinced that Martin won't actually be present...

While I agree with David's comment on the RSD thread & will not be participating, this caught my interest.

The Dead's contributions are Vol. of "On a back porch" compilation of random tracks on one disc, plus 6th June 1976 Boston Music Hall on 5 LPs.

Arguably more fascinating is Garcia's "Reflections 50th Anniversary" edition. Shocked Three LPs featuring the original album remastered, 4 previously unreleased outtakes, Orpheus (a 16 minute studio jam previously issued on the "All Good Things" box set) & four live unreleased JGB tracks from 75/76,

For me, the whole thing is a complete charade nowadays.  I've long since given up on new vinyl.

I really enjoyed him too (although was very familiar with him by then so knew I would).  Horses for courses and all that...

My daughter and her friend saw Nick Harper quite a few years ago. They both loved him. They told me how he broke a guitar string and carried on playing while changing the string, which sounded remarkable. Anyway, a year or so later, I got the chance to see him. He broke a string and carried on playing while he changed it. I thought, 'hang on!' Anyway, it seems that was his party piece. Other than that, I enjoyed the gig, but I've never felt compelled to see him again, or buy any of his CDs.


It is indeed his party piece. He did it the only time I saw him play too. But hell, it's a great party piece.
