Remembering the marvellous Judy Dyble today, on the 5th anniversary of her passing...

Somehow she became everybody's favourite auntie, a voice of common sense with a wicked sense of humour, and a total sweetheart who is much-missed...

There is an update/addendum to this. Dick, with the help of Colin, Kathryn Tickell and others, is seeking legal intervention to bring his music back into his own control, so that he can get it out there for those who want to hear it. This will have knock on effects for Nic Jones, the Bright Phoebus album and others

Let's hope so eh?

Paul Zervas and Kathryn Pepper doing their Joni Mitchell tribute show at Lancaster Grand. Kathryn has certainly nailed Joni's voice and their backing band were all very good. I'm not the biggest JM fan but knew a fair few of the songs, especially those from the early albums.

The encore was the inevitable Big Yellow Taxi followed by a lovely rendition of River. The final song was Both Sides Now which I must admit made me a bit tearful what with is being the 5th anniversary of our Jude's passing tomorrow.

I don't go to see many tribute acts but this was excellent. They've got a few more dates coming up this month and are playing at Shrewsbury Folk Fest on the Friday and Saturday.

Their own (non-tribute) work is also well worth checking out.

Iris Williams…Welsh singer…I mainly remember her for the single ‘He was beautiful’, when I was a child, in 1979…but she had many and varied achievements.

Friends went to see ELO at Manchester Co-op last night. Having paid the extortionate food prices, they were in their seats at 8.15 when it was announced that Jeff Lynne was ill and the concert was cancelled. Needless to say they - and many others- were not impressed.

Sixth, and presumably last of David Bowie’s career box sets to be released on 12-9-25 entitled “I Can’t Give Everything Away” it covers the period 2002 to 2016.

The woman has pulled out of the tour, refunds being given etc but Peter will be able to have the stage for the evening to gig their new album. Hopefully he can salvage some financial benefit from something beyond his control.

Seats are available at Shrewsbury tomorrow (need to check this).



yes around 60 tickets still left at £33 a pop

From https://www.folkscape.live/

We are delighted to present Nettlebed Folk Club’s 50th Birthday Extravaganza, showcasing the premier folk line-up of 2025, streamed live on July 14. Join us for an informal, vibrant, engaging and fun celebration. With the venue sold out, reserve your front-row live stream seat today!

Artists scheduled to appear are, in no particular order

Cara Dillon & Sam Lakeman, Feast of Fiddles, Chris While, Julie Matthews & Kellie While, Steve Knightley, Phil Beer, Miranda Sykes, Maddy Prior, Mike McGoldrick & John McCusker, Benji Kirkpatrick, Paul Downes and Jackie Oates, Megan Henwood & Charlie Dore.

The first email listed Show of Hands but that was changed so presumably Steve and Phil will be performing separately. Or Phil might be playing with Miranda. But you never know, we might get Country Life from all three of them.  Grin
