Tony Iommi's new album From the Dark.  It's extraordinarily strong.

If you're even remotely attracted to metal, especially Dio era Sabs and early Bruce Maiden, do give it a listen.  Highly recommended.

Strawbs  :  Grave New World Live   ( Witchwood Records LP,  red vinyl,  2026).  


500 of these and no mention of a CD release at the moment.

It was recorded before an audience, who were  requested  not to applaud, a few years ago.

The sound is good and the music faithful to the original album,  which imo  represents the band at their musical  and creative  peak.   Some people  may not like the spoken word links between tracks, which  are new.  These are delivered by a songwriter who went by the name  John Wesley Harding, and who  I saw play some years ago,  supporting someone - don't recall who.

TAW is written in PHP, but is very old code that will only run on old PHP.

So a patch would probably kill TAW. Then again the vulnerability might only be on new versions. Whatever, if it gets hacked no new version is available.

I saw Brian Maxine when he joined Swarb, Peggy & Simon for a few numbers, at Dingwalls in '74. DM was in the audience calling for Matty Groves. Ho, ho.

Maxine's appearance at Cropredy 1982, sharing vocals on '6 Days on the Road' with Trevor, is at

I think the 'Fairpets' were Linda T and Phillipa Clare, who was their manager for a while and was listed on the appearences website.

Wasn't it on one of the 'official bootlegs' from that era?

Huw Williams at Barry Folk Club last night. A packed house (it's a small room, but it's the most I've seen in there!) Huw was wonderful. Great songs, very funny stories and all in all, a thoroughly enjoyable night. A couple of Fairport links - He played 'Summer Before The War' and encored with 'Rosemary's Sister'.


That sounds great, loved to have been there.
