I'd imagine that had a lot to do with the hugely underestimated Alan Hull (not by me).RIP.
I don't like Lindisfarne, but I really like Alan Hull's 'Pipe Dream'. That was a bit of a stoner classic for me back when I used to smoke the evil weed. And of course the last track is the greatest song Neil Young never wrote!!

Always felt Alan Hull could have been an excellent folk artist if he hadn't made it into pop with Lindisfarne.

I'm in my 60's and saw Lindisfarne (easily the best group to come out of Newcastle after the Animals,of course), twice back in the day.Once memorably at the Palace theatre (Westcliff) round about the time this was recorded:-


and also at Aston Uni, round about the same time.

I wozz there :Thumbs up:
 
Hotel and train tickets booked for my trip to London to see King Crimson at the Royal Albert Hall.

Fripp and the chaps are kindly playing on my Birthday!
Good that the camera is still doing the biz. You can't buy a new one of those now!! As for Crimson its a bit weird that Twenty first century schizoid man is now.

They do a new model now. 21st Century is now and used in a sample to advertise perfume!

The camera was a very good purchase RHB!

I like Ain't no doubt by Jimmy Nail.

I always thought he had a bit more credibility than other actors who embarked on minor pop careers such as Nick Berry, Robson and Jerome etc.
 
Saw Gary Clark JR at the Jardins de Pedrables on Saturday night.Really excellent concert (and I was in the front row).Anyone who likes loud guitar blues and soulful vocals should check him out.:Worthy:

I totally forgot about this thread. Two gigs to report
1) saw The HU a couple of weeks back for my fix of Mongolian folk metal.
2) saw Demons and Wizzards on Sunday.

Both excellent, fairly cheap and in small venues. Brilliant.
 
Saw Diana Krall with the excellent Joe Lovano on tenor sax at SC's Auditori earlier.Some great ensemble jazz.Hope DK records with this trio.
 
Saw Joe Jackson again at BARTs in Barna last nigh.Been 40 years since I last saw him live.Glad to say he's ageing well.Always liked the raw energy of his pop songs.He came in with the punk movement (first album back in '79) but like Elvis was always a more talented musician than that.Excellent show.
