I'd recommend these two albums, both from 1993 and good companion pieces for listening.

The first is United Kingdoms by Ultramarine, which includes two vocals from Robert Wyatt as well as a cover of his Matching Mole tune Instant Kitten.

The second is the eponymous album by Aon, who were folk singers Graham and Annie Burton (mother of Louise Rhodes from Lamb, who appears on backing vocals) along with producer Youth. Includes a version of Quiet Joys (as they call it).

John Renbourn & Wizz Jones - Joint Control

That must've been about the last thing John recorded before his death in March 2015. And now Wizz has gone too.

Very sad.   He was at the centre of  it  all with Ralph, Bert and John, and all the others.   I feel he wasn't credited enough.

Wizz Jones

One of the greats.

Thanks Andy
It was a brilliant evening at Union Chapel, London on Wednesday.  
Matt was there from the Matt and Naz Foundation, very emotional that song.

We saw the Young'uns last night at Pontardawe Arts Centre and they were very good.

Thoroughly recommended - they're on their 20th anniversary / 40th birthday tour this year - go and see them!

I videoed a couple of songs but FB simply mutes them if I put them up.

So I've uploaded them to my seldom-used YouTube channel.

I don't recall that episode, but I'm going to have to seek it out on Youtube now
