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... |

A nice release for those who, like me, completely missed it 20 years ago. It's a bit folk rock by numbers, and I'd like to hear the vocals more up front, but overall I'm pleased with this release. It's interesting to reflect that I started out listening to music played by artists only a few years older than myself, and here I am listening to musicians perhaps less than half my age. There'll never be another Fairport or Trees, but we have a new generation carrying the folk rock flag. |

I'm going to say this one more time: the camping fields open at Noon on Wednesday.
Arrive early and you will be put in a field to wait until Noon. |

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. Ian was the leader of Pele who we followed for many years. Great live band. You may have heard his song " Does this train stop on Merseyside" which was covered by Christy Moore |
