"Dragonsfly - very popular down in the south west (UK)[...] http://www.dragonsfly.org/" - Luckett Lad

I saw them Saturday night at the Wookey Hole festival. Very good. And yes, I think I was listening to their CD "The Ridgeway" on Sunday night. That and "Legends and Lovers" by Issy and David Emeney with Kate Riaz, who I saw on Wednesday in Litton (at the Old Down Acoustic Club)

Not last night but Sunday night I went to see Queensryche, Alice Cooper and Heaven and Hell (which is bascially Black Sabbath with Ronnie James Dio singing). It was AWESOME. Obviously a far stretch from folk but I have loved Alice Cooper since I was about 6 years old and he was on the Muppet Show. I've seen him live 3 times now and he puts on a hell of a show every time.

Last night I recovered. :-)

I listened to Pint and Dale, live in our front room. After completing Great Yarmouth Maritime festival I invited the crew of the Grand Turk across for dinner and William and Felicia, who were staying with us, offered to play a little music.

It was the cherry on the top of a wonderful festival and, as the Turk may be sold this year, it was a fine ending to the festival and what may be Turk's last visit to Yarmouth.

Thanks guys it was something special

I listened to my daughter, she wasn't singing or anything. She has just split up from her boyfriend - (unnecessary detail)
Spent the rest of the evening quietly rejoicing at the thought of a new Chris Wood solo album as announced on the English Acoustic Collective website.

Monday night went to the amazingly popular Royal&Derngate to watch the recording /touring "Sorry I haven't a Clue" team. Very funny - (unnecessary detail).

Trubrit - Bill Wyman, Andy Fairweather-Lowe, Albert Lee, Geraint Evans, a couple of amazing horn players, one of who was in danger of a rupture playing the soprano sax, not to mention Georgie Fame on keyboards - awesome.

And, yes, the Manfreds include Mike d'Abo, Paul Jones who last time didn't seem to have aged a day from the 60s, shite on him !! :-); and various Manfred Menn whose names I can't recall.

Mind you, at my age that ain't a surprise.

Sorry, fellow 'Catters, if this is thread-creep.

We have booked to see Oysterband and the Big Session, later this year.

Dear Mattkeen,

Thanks for this.

If you are going perhaps we and partners (Missus, in my case) might meet for a beer. PM me, if you wish.

Last night we listened to Leigh Stirling's 'Standing in the Wings', and Bellowhead 'Burlesque'. That'll be played through before long - even the grandbrats aged 7 and 4 love it.

A lot of early Bob Dylan; they re-played the Scorcese movie on PBS last night. Even after all this time, his music still resonates.
Lay Down Your Weary Tune closed the program; a lovely and under played song.

The 'listen to rock 'n roll hormones' have recently kicked in with my 13 1/2 year old son. He will spend his entire evening (if I will let him)searching iTunes for music to download onto his iPod. I have felt very priviledged the last few evenings that he has invited me to sit with him and listen to many of his selections. He has chosen a whole bunch of decent to really good classic rock from the 60's and 70's - so I've been listening to the likes of the Allman Brothers, Lynard Skynard, Jefferson Airplane, the Stones, ACDC. And he is introducing me to newer stuff - Weird Al whasisname, Green Day, Cake, some ready-for-prime-time rap. Also, the complete soundtrack to Monty Python's Spamalot, which he finds absolutely hilarious, Red Hot Chili Peppers (boy, they sure don't sound like they did when they were local boys playing around Chapel Hill and Carrboro) and orchestral music from the soundtracks to the Lord of the Rings trilogy and the Star War movies. Plus a bit of stringband music from the Bing Brothers.

I've noticed him checking out Dylan, but he hasn't aquired a taste for him, and otherwise has little affinity for folk or trad. other than some stringband music (but only the instrumentals.) He shushes me when I sing around him. "You've got such a good voice, Mom, but I can't stand those songs you sing. They're all so stupid." And I still have not been entirely forgiven for accidentally causing some field recordings of a capella hymns and work songs to be downloaded onto his iPod. He has absolutely no tolerance or appreciation for a capella music of any type.

All-in-all, though, not bad selections at all for a 13 year old kid who can not carry a tune in a bucket.

Listening with him is a blast from the past for me, as well as an introduction to newer popular music.

I too listened to Rachel Unthank's album "Cruel Sister" after all of the good reviews I've read and ended up wondering if there was something wrong with my ears. I've heard some poor albums in my time but this beat them all. They must either have a very good PR person behind them or there really is something wrong with my hearing. "The Bairns" would have to be a lot better for me to spend my money on it.

Leo Kottke live solo concert at the Paramount in Rutland.

A freebie, thanks to a local music store owner, also a client, who was one of the sponsors and got a block of tickets.

Not exactly my thing - his music lacks structure to me.

But his instrumental technique - incredible.
