I'm selling an original painting from '69 of the Incredible String Band by an artist called Bill Gall.

It was on Antiques Roadshow a decade ago... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnxYFdhZCiE (when it was valued at £2k)

It's listed on eBay here https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/257089541122 but I'm open to a private sale too.


Genuinely surprised you can bring yourself to part with it.

Jules


I'm effectively the dealer here, but if I end up keeping it for a while it won't be the end of the world. Mike does follow you around the room a bit, mind... Wink

Been listening to Niamh Corkey singing at a local pub for the last few months. She sings once every 2 weeks, covering traditional and contemporary folk, Americana, Jazz standards and some of her own songs. She has released an EP on streaming and on CD of 3 original songs and is on Youtube/Instagram/Facebook/TikTok.

Just finished listening to Gladys' Leap. I still can't work out why they put 'My Feet are Set for Dancing' on an otherwise pretty decent album.



Is that the new 'remastered' edition, Mick?  I'm interested to know if it actually sounds better than the original one?

Apparently Cathy LeSurf had done that song with them at the previous Cropredy, so maybe it was just an easy add?
No, it's the version I bought many years ago.  Yes, I heard it at Cropredy that year. To be honest, I can't remember what I thought of it at the time.

Have you heard III?.


Don't think so.  Will remedy that one day.

Just my personal 2 cents, but I'm surprised how little Hergest Ridge gets a shout.


It had loads of fans these days. I think it's become the hipsters' choice.

I think the old fashioned clunkiiness  of both TB and Hergest Ridge  may appeal to the modern hipster.
TB  II and III   have  respectively   an ambient   or dance  gloss which sat well in the  90s.


I still find the BBC Tubular Bells '73 version is the most enjoyable one (partly at least because of who is playing it) but even I was shocked when I finally weakened and picked up a copy of II on CD for a quid the other year.  It's brilliant.


I agree.

Have you heard III?.

We had a nice walk on Hergest Ridge at Easter when we were up in the area.

Back on topic:
Granny's Attic - Cold Blows The Wind (their new album) right now

Kate Bramley - Little Canaan before that - I picked it up at Cropredy because of her connection with Jez Lowe

I love Hergest Ridge. The album, not so much.  Grin
