I saw Ralph McTell on Sun (21 Mar.) perform at the Clarendon Hotel in Katoomba (NSW, Australia for the uninitiated). It was the first time I have seen him in person and it was a great concert.

I wonder if any Syndey Mudcatters were there. I didn't see anyone sporting a "Mudcat T-shirt" but neither was I. Perhaps we should have Mudcat badges.

Anyway, he did a lot of new stuff that I hadn't heard on any CDs. If he was going to choose the name of an old-time bluesman, he should have choosen "Blake" instead of "McTell" because I think his blues style is closer to the latter.
