Rising Of The Bold - the new album by Merry Hell
Boy does Simon Swarbrick's playing sound like his uncle on here.
Oh and it is a very fine album too.
Thanks for the heads up. I didn't know they had a new record out so have downloaded a copy from Bandcamp. They're coming to Morecambe later in the year so I'll hopefully see them then. I got a copy of Flook's new release Sanju thru the post. Only 30 minutes of music - quality rather than quantity. Maybe it's to do with them being on their 30th anniversary tour this year. |

I'm also enjoying Suzanne Vega's latest, her first in 11 years..
Is that the CD, Alan? My mugshot's on the front page of the insert. Same pic as on here... |

Joni Mitchell's Clouds album, vinyl, 2021 remaster.
Interesting to hear, in original state, the 2 tracks which Fairport covered on their debut.

I'm racing in the Southport Sprint Duathlon this coming Sunday, as is a certain Mr Andrew Kettle. Maybe we'll have a chorus of Peace..... after the event!

Doubling down on Simon Swarbrick this evening with a listen to Feast Of Fiddles' Live '24.
I didn't realise that he had joined the line up until I was googling yesterday to see what he had been involved with outside of Merry Hell. It is some years since I last saw FoF or bought any of their albums but this one is a great listen and they sound reinvigorated by the new line up (some of the better known old hands (Peter Knight, Chris Leslie) having departed. DM's drumming is mighty here, albeit a little low in the mix.

Actually, rejoined the line up, as he was one of the three Simon's in the original membership, way back! Was fortunate enough to catch a few dates this spring tour. Not only did he play Lemon Dog Reel which is on the Live 24 cd, but also Lizard on a Rock, as yet unrecorded, but equally as brilliant. |

Is that the tune you mean? |

The new Green Diesel album, Onward The Sun, is excellent. It's a little beefier than usual but not so much that it's detrimental to their usual folk-rock sound.
I'd love to catch them live at some point.

Thanks Jules, I hope you/no-one thought I was referring to someone no longer with us... it's someone I've known for over 50 years, who I was due to meet this week, but circumstances conspired against us. One day...

I came to no firm conclusions. I hope things work out better next time. Jules |
