So ... you are a posh Cambridge toff ja? Ach mensch, alles verloren!

Had a bit of a Pearl Jam and Guns & Roses afternoon whilst doing some building (and IOSH training). Was rather nice to go back a little.

Very nice ... so many singers, so many songs, so little time ! :smiling4: :sad:

…and John Martyn, Joan Baez, The men they couldn’t hang, Lindesfarne, Chas and Dave (superb live), Martin Carthy…… the list was pretty much endless! Always someone superb that you hadn’t heard of before…..

Indeed so! I'm going into my music and see if I can't add a few more - like Christy Moore, Steeleye Span, Capercaille, Runrig - need I go go on? Salivating at the thought of those happy days - time for a Sauvignon methinks!

Saw all of those there as well Steve Runrig were very early in their career…..I went from 82 to 88…line ups here. I’d love to turn back the clock…..

Thanks for refreshing my memories Tim - now I can plough a memory furrow and search my back album CDs :thumb2:

... and as an adjunct I was a (very) respectable folk singer (and Chantyman) in the folk heydays of the late Sixties and Seventies -even part of an LP when Folk Music in the Forces was the 'Thing'! Reasonable Bodhran player and one-time Green Man and Fool! Forgive me for beating my gums!

Pretty cool mate. While you’re looking at the back catalogue, look out Ragged Kingdom by June Tabor and the Oysterband…..fantastic it certainly is!

Pearls from the Oysters - absolute classic!

[Tim Marlow]

Bit newer, Bella Hardy, songs lost and stolen….another excellent album! Oh, while I’m at it, anything by the Carolina Chocolate Drops or Rihannon Giddens. Anything you can recommend?

Airborne01 Tim Marlow We used to get a Christmas card every year off Donnie Munroe (Runrig). Seen them countless times. Gutted when they finished.

Me too, they were awesome, and a wonderful club/pub entertainment - such a small world isn't it Alan!
