Nice chat with RT, and with David Hepworth not being as obstreperous as he can be. Includes diet and football coaching tips!

First showing on next year's SFF, with an intriguing listing for RT. Given his proximity and appearance on the latest RT offering, I suspect John Kirkpatrick might be involved.  https://shrewsburyfolkfestival.co.uk/ |

Throwing Muses : Their debut, self titled from 1986.
I like most of what they do, but I've struggled with my old CD of this. Very harsh brittle, early CD sound. The material - l'll just say it is uncompromising . This reissue is in all the usual formats except cassette. |

Tonight, 9pm 'til 12am :
I'll be hosting Scattering The Roots 9pm 'til 12am, playing the usual tasty blend of folk, roots, blues, etc...plenty of etc... but not as regular listeners know it... My esteemed Express FM colleague, Ian James, is taking on a 60 hour charity broadcasting radiothon, and I'll be joining him between 9pm and 12am to host my regular show **live** - expect some excellent tune-age and chat... We had such a good time doing this in 2025, we decided to do it again for Ian's latest Radiothon in 2026. Ian & I will be joined for our session by Express FM's Miles Henson, and I'm sure we'll both be heartily encouraging Ian in his fundraising endeavours. Ian started his Radiothon at 6am this morning and will continue live on-air until 6pm on Friday 30th, remaining awake and behind the microphone for the full duration. The three charities being supported each play a significant part in the local community : Sophie's Legacy Connors Toy Library The Elizabeth Foundation You can tune in throughout the marathon on 93.7 FM, DAB+ Digital Radio, online or on Alexa. Listen online here : www.expressfm.com Donations are greatly appreciated and can be made here : www.expressfm.com/donate |

Went to see the chaps at Honiton last Friday. They were on fine form (though I wondered if Ric was having trouble with his fiddle, as he seemed to be (ahem...) fiddling... with it at various points). But it sounded OK to me. In fact, the whole thing sounded good to me. I was especially pleased to hear Ric and Chris fiddling together on at least four numbers. There were certainly at least a couple of numbers dredged up from quite a long time ago, including one from one of Simon's solo albums. They just seem to go on getting better and better. I was reflecting on the fact that there was a period when Simon would regularly forget the words to at least one song per gig for a few years, but it must be at least 10 years ago now - and possibly longer than that, and it rarely seems to happen now. I can recall Simon regularly forgetting the words to songs in the 80s. This may have been for different reasons... |

Case in point - Art Garfunkel has sold about 200 tickets at ACL Live (capacity 2400) for his November show. Sadly the rest of the potential ticket buyers have probably seen some of the online footage of his recent dates? Art shouldn't be anywhere near a public stage at this juncture in his life (I don't think). I will observe and report. Other poorly attended legacy shows I've attended in the last few years in Austin include Brian Wilson, Roxy Music, and 10cc. All great shows, and Austin didn't show up. |
