14 Sep 06 - 07:15 AM (#1834232) Subject: RE: Nick Jones new Cd From: GUEST Looking forward to this! The version of 'Clyde Water' on the 'Unearthed' CD is just amazing - far better than 'Penguin Eggs' version ('The drowned lovers') IMO. I do hope that the version on this new compilation is more in line with the former than the latter. |

14 Sep 06 - 10:10 AM (#1834359) Subject: RE: Nick Jones new Cd From: Northerner I bought the new Cathy/Swarbrick CD yesterday. "Straws in the wind" I think it was called (but better google it). Very pleasant. Not earth-shattering, but pleasant. |

14 Sep 06 - 02:03 PM (#1834510) Subject: RE: Nick Jones new Cd From: Dartford Warbler I have ordered mine from the HMV website at £8.99 (including postage) I still remember (with goosebumps on the back of my neck!) his rendition of "Searching for the Hump backed whale" and Paul Metser's "Farewell to the Gold" at City University (London) Festival back in 197? Seeing Nic put the final nail in the coffin for me ever going to see live rock concerts such as Deep Purple and Uriah Heep ever again! Thank goodness for ear-safe folk music. And thank you Nic! |

I was at that gig too (1978 or 79?), and well remember the heart-stopping performance of "Hump-backed Whale". Much as I enjoyed "Penguin Eggs" when it subsequently came out, I felt the studio version of that song wasn't a patch on the London gig. |

15 Sep 06 - 07:35 AM (#1835127) Subject: RE: Nick Jones new Cd From: pavane That's just what I think about the live recording I made in 1973. Some MUCH better versions than the studio ones (e.g. Blind harper, Warlike lads, Lass of Lochroyal), but unfortunately recorded on a little cassette recorder at a folk club, and not suitable for commercial release. |

15 Sep 06 - 02:27 PM (#1835447) Subject: RE: Nick Jones new Cd From: Northerner I have a tape recording of him playing a gig at Bradford University in the early 70s. Recorded on my little tape recorder. I suppose it won't be of a suitable quality to pass on either. Great for me to listen to though! |

15 Sep 06 - 05:28 PM (#1835614) Subject: RE: Nick Jones new Cd From: GUEST Pavane! Northerner! Wow, Nic Jones doing 'The Lass of Rochroyal' - I don't think that's on any record. I'm sure that if this stuff fell into the hands of the 'right people' then it could be mastered into a presentable form. There'd certainly be a big audience for it, including me. |

15 Sep 06 - 05:50 PM (#1835624) Subject: RE: Nick Jones new Cd From: Northerner I can't remember precisely what is on my cassette without looking, but it was also recorded in about 1973. I had heard that this singer was coming to the folk club at the university and that he was good. I wasn't sure if he would mind my recording him though. So I was stood outside the refectory (room we were using for folk club) and was having a genial little moan to the folkie standing next to me in the queue. "Do you think Nic Jones would mind my recording him do you think?" I asked my neighbour, one of our folk club committee members. "Why don't you ask him?" said my neighbour and he gestured towards the man who was standing on the other side of me. Yep, I was standing right next to him. Nic gave a little smile and said yes, I could use my cassette recorder. |

16 Sep 06 - 10:37 AM (#1835991) Subject: RE: Nick Jones new Cd From: Northerner I'll look out the cassette. It's buried under a pile of newspapers and books at the moment I think. It would be nice to be able to help Nic. Even if he was only able to make a copy of it and play it back for nostalgia's sake that would be nice. It's good that I actually had permission from Nic to make the recording, albeit on a portable cassette recorder. The email address is on Nic's official website I think. |
