I'll certainly be buying John From Austin's memoire when it's published. The musicians will be queuing up to write the foreword.


Better get a move on with that then. John doesn't usually go and see anyone under the age of 65.  Grin

Last minute booking to see the legendary Herb Alpert tonight at the Paramount!

He's 88 years young and probably won't hit Austin again, so who's up for A Taste of Honey?


This thread needs to be renamed John's Upcoming Gigs.  You're keeping the industry alive singlehandedly, my friend....


Ha! Being a slightly compulsive accountant, I keep a running gig list. I was averaging between 40 and 50 gigs a year by the time Covid shut us down, and I've been creeping back up. My personal best is 54 in 2016. Given my taste for aging artists, I suspect we'll be near zero within the next 10 years. What shall I do with all that free time?

Jon Batiste tomorrow! Followed by the musical Wicked, Bob Dylan, and Steve Hackett over the next two weeks. Herbie Hancock is on my radar.

I'm going to have to take a screenshot of that posting Mike. It brought a smile to my face this morning.  Smiley

We truly have a gig-going legend in our midst. And I'll certainly be buying John From Austin's memoire when it's published. The musicians will be queuing up to write the foreword.

All these music legends having a pint down the pub:

'Alright Bob ?'
'Heey Neil Yoooooooung, How you doin'?' (Short barely in tune harmonica solo.)
'Not too bad, your Dylanness. I'm off on tour tomorrow.'
'Cooooooool. How many roads are you going doooooown, man ?'
'Oooh...a lot.'
'Are you going to Texas ?'
'Of course. Nobody misses a chance to see John from Austin. He's OK for a Southern Man.'
'That, my friend,' (hoot, parpy parpy hoot), 'is the trooooth. If you see him, say hello. More wine ?'
'Don't mind if I do, and I will.'

A few hours later...
'Hey Herb !'
'Hi Neil !'
'You see that guy ? That guy is John from Austin !'
'No way ?'
'Yes way !'

Enjoy your Herb.
I do,occasionally.

I'm featuring the music of Show of Hands on this week's show having seen them recently on their farewell tour. I think Phil said that their date at Settle was the 35th out of 70 gigs. I'm not surprised that he was perching on a stool for much of their set. I've also selected tracks by some of the various musicians who have supported them on tour since I first saw them in 2006.

So there are four songs by SoH including one with Track Dogs along with...

Edgelarks, Flossie Malavialle, Geoff Lakeman, Steve Knightley, Martyn Joseph, Slaid Cleaves, Stephen Fearing, Miranda Sykes, Hannah Sanders & Ben Savage and Kirsty Merryn (feat Phil Beer)

Tune in at 1pm or 8pm on https://www.internet-radio.com/station/gingerfeatherfm/

Copied from FB for those who don't use it and might have known Mike.

The following has been copied from Ed Frost page
Michael ERWOOD 'Mike'
Mike passed away peacefully in the care of Sobell House and surrounded by his family, on 4th March 2024.
He was the much loved husband of Moira (Gainey) and an adored Dad to Katherine.
A loving brother to Tony and John and dear friend to many.
Amongst many things Mike may be remembered by the Cropredy Festival community for his many years of service, at ‘Moira's Gate’ (backstage), each year at the festival.
Fairport Convention as a band, and the Cropredy Festival crew, has always adopted a wide circle of family and friend and Mike was certainly considered one of these.
Mike's funeral service has been arranged to take place at Oxford Crematorium (St John's Chapel) on Wednesday 27th March at 1.00pm.
There will be an opportunity to make donations in Mike's memory for The Pulmonary Fibrosis Trust and/or Sobell House at the funeral service, on line via www.eddfrostanddaughters or by post c/o: Edd Frost & Daughters Family Funeral Directors, 14 Canada Close, Banbury OX16 2RT.
Can we please ask that this notice be shared in the usual manner in order to inform as many people as possible of Mike's recent passing and of his forthcoming funeral arrangements.
Thank you.

I’ve been out again. I met The Artist Formerly Known as Serious Keith in case anyone still here remembers the Farnishes. https://skirky.blogspot.com/2024/03/and-so-again-to-helstock-which-as.html

Anyone else had a message from a Richard Houghton asking for fans comments for a book he is writing with/ for Fairports.?

Yes, I'm struggling to know exactly what to write. I discarded a first attempt as it contained far too much information, like verging on autobiographical details. The remit is apparently "your Fairport journey", so I'll have another go over the weekend.

Yep, I’ve had that problem too Dan. Wasn’t really sure what he was wanting. I ve sent something, so we’ll see…..
