No idea where Herga is, but I don't think its near New jersey where I saw him a few months ago. He is definetly worth seeing, very professional, with many of his own songs and some covers as well. I believe his "Jewel of Paris" the 2nd song of a proposed trilogy will become a classic. you won't be disappointed.

Nowhere near Jersey, New or old - it's at the Pinner Green Social Club, Rickmansworth Road, Pinner, Middlesex HA5 3TJ(NW London for those not adhering to the ancient borough lines)

And if you're not within spitting distance of the mighty Herga, Nathan's going to be the guest at York's BBC-award-winning Black Swan folk club on Thursday 18th June. Eagerly awaited... and yes I'll have one of Stan's ready too, just to make him welcome!

I am sure that Nathan Rogers would just love to travel these lands and everynight hear loads of wannabees sing-murder his father's songs.

It'll save a paying audience from hearing some of them done by the son who can do them so well that it would be difficult to tell which was the original

Give the night over to Nathan, but at Herga they'll have Dan Mackinnon from Halifax N S who is widely regarded as a tribute to S R though he is now highly regarded a one of Canada's leading singer/songwriters

I can understand why certain main acts request that they dont want other floor singers to perform when they guest.

I wouldn't dare to sing one of Stan's songs when Nathan's present, Breezy. Words like 'No' and 'Contest' spring to mind! I might be a fighter, but I know when I 'm licked! :-)

It does take confidence in ones ability to perform a song in front of the author, or in this case , his heir.



It'll be interesting to hear Dan sing a Stan as he is famous for doing them exceedingly well as was/is Mary Mellor who did a fair job of 'spreading the word' so to speak

At Stanfest they devote an hour on the main stage to singing Stan's songs in his memory

maybe they'll, D and N duet?

Who knows, come and find out, it'll be great whatever happens

I was pulling legs when I said I'd do "I wish I could have met you", I wouldn't dare! Anyway, Ariel has a copy of it, probably long consigned to the dustbin. But Breezy is right, Stan songs should be off the menu in support of Nathan on the night. For a start, we don't know which ones he would like to do himself, if any. And appreciation of the guys Dad can be best shown in other ways - and should not go over the top, Nathan is an artist in his own right.

Not a dud in the entire proceedings

Dunno what it's like in Mansfield at the moment, Breezy - I'm still in the Backwoods, about 40 miles-or-so from there. It's cold and, errrr........breezy.........hereabouts!

But it'll be warm and wunnerful in the Brahn Cow tonight!

It were a champion night at t'Brown Cow last night. The Man was in excellent form and blew the assembled multitude away with his larger-than-life personality, fiery passion in performance, and great songs (including a couple of dad's).

He and Bob spoke very highly of the good folks at Herga, especially the quality of the supporting performers and the fabulous chorus-singing of the audience. Sounds as though you had a cracker down there.

As for Mansfield - the boy done good, dead good!

Thank you bkwdsmn, he brings a breath of fresh Canadian air and carries so much more on his shoulders but does so with responsibility, respect for those who went before and we should thank him for that.

Did you get N W passage ?

I have to admit that Herga can boast in having more than its fair share of performing singers in its ranks but so does the Bodmin club.

So whose on next week?

"he brings a breath of fresh Canadian air and carries so much more on his shoulders but does so with responsibility, respect for those who went before and we should thank him for that"

He certainly does, Breezy. He's one impressive and talented young man, who gives a nod to his ancestry as a mark of respect, but resists the temptation to be SR Jr, and is at all times NR Sr.

A friendlier, more likeable guy it would be hard to find, and Mrs. Fenswoman and I had a lovely evening in his company and Bob's.

We did indeed have 'NW Passage'(and joined in with great gusto!)! And 'The Field Behind The Plow', and Archie's 'Haul Away'. The joining-in was great and Nathan seemed very pleased with the reception he got.

I believe Bob's hoping Archie will join them in Embra tonight - now that would be some show!

All the best.
