Lots of camping at this show.

I remember a flyer floating around the campsites about this band name Fairport Convention recently reforming and that they were "kinda like the UK's Grateful Dead."  I thought "hummmmm?"

I also ran into to two aquaintences I had recently met and played guitar with them all night that evening.  7 months later, we would form a band.  We're on our 40th year now and just released our first record.

Two very big parts in my life started that day.

Oh.......and the show.....superb!


Excellent.  

I find it almost (I have about 3 or 4 shows I like, mostly with guests - Stills etc.) impossible to get excited about post-79 Dead although I will give it a listen when it appears online.

Fwiw, apart from their longevity I find it hard to think of two bands less alike...15 minutes as the British Jefferson Airplane doesn't alter that, I don't think...

The Aly & Phil set is pretty good


Incidentally I picked up a solo Ally Bain best of the other day at the chazzer for a quid...and it appears to be rather pricey online.  Anybody know why?

Robin Williamson - Ring Dance
Tim Laycock & Friends - Harvest Hwome
Aly Bain & Phil Cunningham - The Best Of...
V/A - The Best of Jazz-Funk

4 albums for £1

And I've just downloaded the Trees reissue from a few years ago (the 3 CD, 37 track set) from *m*z*n for £7.99




Don't know the other two but Ring Dance is brilliant.  As is the Trees set, of course.

like the forgetful auld bugger that i am i ordered the new 3 cd waterboys set Atlantic rain from amazon and its winging its way to me as we speak.
Whats the problem? i hear you ask.  
Well im glad you did, you see the problem is i already ordered it from the waterboys website months ago, and had completely forgotten until they kindly sent me an e-mither informing me that it too was speeding toward the rainy city.
so if anyone wants a copy of said cd set for the bargain bin price of £25 drop me an message and a deal can be done.
Blimey! im turning into Donald ffffin Trump Shocked
