Fish's performance live at Cropredy 2018 (his second appearance), having discovered that there is a bonus DVD of it with his The Last Straw live album, using the live feed from the cameras.  They seem to have done a good job of editing it to not show his backside after he burst a haemerrhoid during the performance (he hadn't had an accident in his jeans as it looked at the time!).

Just loads of fun , even the ending ...much better than a gentle fade out

Very catchy!

Blackbeard's Tea Party on Saturday, and Sound of the Sirens the next Friday.

I have also just booked to see The Unthanks in Bude, closing out the Literary Festival there.

I currently have 12 acts I'd like to see or have already booked for in the next 12 weeks. The problem is deciding which ones NOT to go to!

Neil Sedaka 1939 - 2026. Most people over a certain age will be familiar with his inumerable hits such as "Oh Carol", "Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen", etc..

Jolly fine! She certainly has a way with words...

This is totally random but I found an old entertainment section from the Austin American-Statesman, dated April 24, 1996. It lists an upcoming performance by Martin Carthy and Dave Swarbrick at the Cactus Cafe. Until I stumbled across this, I had no idea these revered gents had ever come to my fair city. As an aside, I confess I had not discovered them as of that date, nor was I listening to folk music back then. In retrospect, however, I wish I had been more adventurous in my youth.

Mike Vernon, record producer, Blue Horizon label. Name-checked by The Liverpool Scene in their "I've got those Fleetwood Mac, Chicken Shack, John Mayall, can't fail blues".

Len Garry of The Quarrymen

Great! (chocolate) Chip off the old block
