Knew you'd be interested in the Lanegan new album :sing:

[Durly]

I like FJM but was slightly put off him after his car crash interview with Radcliffe and Maconie a while ago. Came across as a proper bellend. Will give it a go though. Liked the previous one.

I've had a listen to the new FJM once all the way through and it's fine, in an inoffensive way. One, I think, for through the headphones, late at night. Hoping I'll find Lanegan's latest on Spotify when I get home. With a doff of the cap to Ges, who turned me on to Lanegan in the first place

It's taken 2 years but Kate Bush is finally releasing material from her 2014 concert run at Hammersmith Apollo :-) . However, CD and vinyl only for the time being. STILL NO SIGN OF A DVD FILM :-( .

On continuous play in the car over the last two weeks

Loving the church bells & other improvisations on her live set

It doesn't sound like a 5 star album to me

One of those artists I feel I should like but nothing stirs when I listen to him.

Loving the 'Preservation' album by Nadia Reid

Tbh, I've just put the album on one of those loops , where you get a minute of each track and that was my thought too. I'll give it a miss.

Back from a weekend at the Acoustic Festival Of Britain, great weekend as usual even though the quality of the acts wasn't as good this year. Old proggers Wishbone Ash, with only Martin Turner , left from the original line up gave a good show, so did late 80's band The Christians, Howard Jones put on a decent show, a little too relaxed at times but like the jazzier edge he put on a couple of tracks. Biggest disappointment were Fairport Convention so so boring, I suppose you have to be a fan.

Best 2 finds of the weekend for me were;
Verdisa, they played a mix of Blues, Reggae, funk and Soul and it worked, they play well as a band, a feeling of true togetherness,helps a live show if the band look like they enjoy what they do, the vocalist is very good, hints of Jamiroquai and Sting.
Mo Kenney a Canadian singer songwriter, nice voice and great songs, only thing I could fault was I felt a few more upbeat songs would help, even though she did admit she has only ever wrote one happy song, and titled it as so, she did a very good cover of Bowie;s Five Miles

oooops forgot Gaz Brookfield, have seen him before(supporting The Levelers) a singer songwriter in the mould of Frank Turner, pit on a good show too.

One my all-time favourite bands

Did Martin Turner use two lead guitarists in the style of Andy Powell/Ted Turner like Wishbone of old ?

2 Electro Acoustic leads, with Turner on bass, even though he plays it like it was a lead guitar.
