Sorry to have to put this in BS but not to do with FOLK music so perhaps best........Went to Nottingham to see the Moody Blues last night and although they have aged somewhat..the concert was as good musically as it was 30 years ago....yes thirty years ago since I saw them live. They are magnificent..go see them if you get the chance.
Best wishes, Mike.

The Moodys were a refreshing touch to the 60's music scene back in the late 60's. Dust off some of my old albums and listen to them every now and then.

Good to hear they are still on top of their craft Mike

I preferred them in double breasted blue suits doing cover versions.

weren't they put together as a bunch of session players
to quickly knock out a cheapo psychedelic cash-in LP..

but it turned out much better than anyone could predict
so they decided to stick together as a 'proper' group ???


least ways thats how I heard it..

Nah, old hippy. Denny Laine left and did the excellent "Say You Don't Mind" with his electric string band. They got a couple new blokes (or "blowks" in Brum speak) turned out "days of future passed" got in the News of the World for dropping Acid and got all Siekeydelic and wistful after that. I think.
