Listening to a Classic album

Did I ever tell you that I played a gig with one of Fairport a few years ago?

Did you really Knecht, now I'm interested? - I'm thinking of going to Cropredy next year.

There you go Knecht, if you fast forward to 19 minutes 30 seconds you'll see that Forza Verde really is catching on.

Jeez, 'festivals' are turning into chicken dance Benidorm weekends these days.
The future has left music ....it's now elsewhere

Now that made me chuckle Penz!

Cock of the Week I think

I used to live in Cropredy.

A folk fan then Knecht?

I like good music - from folk to classical to jazz and lots of other stuff.

I used to play in a folk band and play lots of pub sessions - that's where I once played with Chris Leslie from Fairport.

You must have a good musical talent to have played with Chris Leslie then Knecht.

I used to be good. I could have been a contender.

Nah! It was a join in session in a pub. Anyone could have played.

I stopped going to Cropredy when it got really big. I'm sure it is still good but when you get to that many thousands - 15,000 was the last time I noticed, I think - it lost its homeliness. The village always received it really well. There was hardly a complaint about anything other than not being able to get to the bar in The Brasenose.

ABC - Lexicon Of Love.

A bit of country, a bit of rock a bit of folk a lot of class.

It's not an album and I'm not hugely into the band either but this is one of my favourite concerts.

This isn't a classic album but if anyone's into acoustic music try "Phillip Henry + Hannah Martin". There's lots of their stuff on youtube and their album is 'Singing the Bones'.

They played Calstock "Old Chapel" last night and they were one of the best I've seen for many years. Their performance was stunningly good!

Their music encompassed 'beat-box harmonica' ("the way Sonny Terry would have played if he had grown up in Bristol") through self-penned numbers from Hannah through American blue-grass through straight folk. The way Phil seamlessly segued from an Indian raga (he studied with an Indian musician) into the traditioonal Irish "Si Bheag Si Mhor" on his Dobro steel guitar was an absolute joy!

This is a little taster https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4GwcHHAyyM&feature=related

which only gives a small corner of the range of music they performed last night.

Sandy, you must play these on your radio prog!

No Dubstep then?

What the feck is dubstep? Sounds like young people's music. Young people should know their place.

Afeckindele?! That's music for middle aged swingers and Guardian readers.

I see your Adele and raise you

At this time of year, I'm sure most people's thoughts turn to this album.

I'm going to get Teenage Kicks!
