Two in the next couple of weeks. Fairport at The Acapela, Pentyrch, on Tuesday. And Huw Williams at The Barry Folk Club in a couple of weeks time.


Huw Williams turned up at the Brecon Folk & More club a few months ago. It's not a guest club so he just did three songs but it was nice to hear him again after so many years.

I'd love to see Huw Williams again. Brilliant songwriter and so many years since I booked him and Tony for our folk club. Enjoy.

I'd love to see Oysterband, or the 3-piece, at Cropredy.

Saw Lunatraktors and Masal last night in Oxford. Absolutely fine stuff.

Masal are a harp/modulo synth duo, while Lunatraktors are a percussion/a-capella/accordion and occasional hazard-bear costume be-decked duo. Both properly weird and wonderfully complementary, though probably not for the faint hearted!

More of this kind of thing please!

Cheers

Nick

Upcoming gigs... Marillion, in about half a hour.

I'm in Aylesbury, enjoying the Waterside Theatre once again. It's quite the hotbed of prog. Will be back up to see Steve Hackett in a month or so.

Cheers

Nick


Time flies... Steve Hackett tonight. Technically this should also be in Recent Gigs - they've just played a set of his solo material. Genesis stuff coming up in 15 mins or so...

Cheers!

Tonight's R4   Archive Hour is entitled:

The Grateful Dead are More Important than the Beatles.

Some  folk will know I have no time for Beatles, so I can afford a little smile.


A friend on another forum points out that at an hour’s duration the programme is actually shorter than some of their songs…😁

Tonight's Archive Hour on radio 4 is entitled:

Well, there we are then .  🙂


No. Just no.

The argument is simply that the Dead were the house band of the 70s/80s computer bods (Apple, MS etc etc).  Which they sort of were - loads of connections with the foundation of the web etc etc etc.  It's not really a musical argument.

It's just struck me that the statement echoes Mr Lennon's remark that the  Beatles were 'More popular than Jesus/'  - I hope it doesn't prove as disastrous.
