At 64 years of age I still attend numerous gigs / festivals.

Wife and I are agoing to Glasgow Green this weekend to see The Darkness, Alabam3, Texas and Queen, plus a good few other bands.

Going to Electric Fields, just 3 miles from me last weekend in August to see James headline Thursady, High Flying Birds Friday, and Leftfield on Saturday. Tickets for Alabam3 again in September in Kilmarnock.

Have been local organiser of Thornhill Music Festival for the last six years - mainly blues based, but we have had Ska and other genres of music.


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

Will have to try some of that JDT. Obv I know Texas ( ) and Queen but don't know the others.

Was moseying around YouTube just now and came across this which was used in the Detectorists. Always liked the Unthanks, never let their musicality get in the way of their accents, but this makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.



Chorus:
One's for sorrow
Two's for joy
Three's for a girl
And Four's for a boy
Five's for silver
Six's for gold
Seven's for a secret
Never told

Devil, Devil, I defy thee (x3)

O the magpie bring us tidings
Of news both far and foul
She's more cunning than the raven
More wise than any owl

And she brings us news of the harvest
Of the barley, wheat and corn
And she knows when we'll go to our graves
And how we shall be born

Chorus

Devil, Devil, I defy thee (x3)

Now the priest he says we're wicked
For to worship the Devil's bird
Ah but we respect the old ways
And we disregard his words

Well we know they rest uneasy
As we slumber in the night
And we'll always leave out a little bit of meat
For the bird that's black and white

Chorus


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

That's cracking that. Was never aware of the Unthanks until Tom Robinson played one of their tracks on his Sunday night theme show on 6 music. What are the chances that a song about a man from Derby in awe of his racing pigeon could sound so lovely? This for me nails the sort of folk music that I enjoy.

That's a fairly diverse list Beijing. Given they're albums, so that's a lot of music. Give us one or two must listens. Not necessarily your faves, or the best. Just off the top of your head.

I only know Wilco from the Mermaid Avenue collaborations with Billy Bragg.

I'm spending a lot of time in Nottingham/East Midlands these days. I'd forgotten all about Martin Stephenson (and the Daintees) until reminded by my sister's bloke who went to see him in Chesterfield in a converted church which he (Martin) hired for £60. Apparently he spends his life gigging around small venues charging £15 a ticket. Am hoping to catch him at the Running Horse in Nottingham on 19 September. Really looking forward to it. One 9f my fave 80s bands.

Quoted from KingstonMariner
And this reminds me of their gig I went to at the Leas Cliff Hall in Folkestone. Seeing all the teenage girls at the front and turning to my ex and saying "I stand more chance than that lot".




Wow that brought back memories when I was down there tunnelling!!
Went to the Leas Cliff to see Rory Gallagher....
got the wrong week and it was “Kiddies Disco Night”.

Went back the next week on the correct day and Rory was great, an amazing guitarist; but by then he was fat and bloated with booze, and died a few years later after a liver transplant.  Shame.

Would have been down there similar time then 1985-86?

Rory was ace. Irish rock musician. Liked a drink. What could possibly go wrong.
