Dodgy covers is it? In which case I might do my Up on Roof, which had me thinking about the nature of folk songs & provenance in the light of a recent way-too-close encounter with The Pierrotters who persist in a notion of folk music deriving directly from its relevance to the folk they encounter in the course of their al-fresco performances. Their renderings of such classics as Istanbul & Pasadena are second to none (especially in the context of the sun-lounge on Blackpool's North Pier) but they're not above doing more contemporary popular songs and one or two originals too. In this respect I direct you to Jake Rodrigues' (aka Shameless Shabacko) Myspace page and to the song The Sea Kissing the Shingle here performed by Jake and The Pierrotters. What else is folk but perfect appropriateness?

See you all tomorrow night, I hope.
