@Kaisfatdad – absolutely; prime era KC&TC playing ten of their own would be wonderful, but you misunderstood me. I meant that I want them to play all ten covers, in their own musical style. I haven’t thought of […]

Cheers. It was actually you @kaisfatdad I had my money on to do the top 100 playlist..

Thanks for that, @kaisfatdad, an obit for Sir Danny I had missed. It also led me to a quite amusing interview with Dave Pegg, the Fairport bassist. The Thompson piece had me wondering about who would be best […]

Good stuff @kaisfatdad

Sure, @Kaisfatdad, during the winter months you can buy as much talg as you need – for feeding the birds! That’s the only use of it here, balls of it being hung outdoors for the birds to stay alive during the cold […]

@Kaisfatdad, when I hear the name Charles Redland I think of the original Barna i Bullerbyn in b/w, he did the music to that one as well. I know that because the kids in the series would end every episode reading […]

@Kaisfatdad – I know this thread has run its course, but YouTube just recommended this extended soundtrack to Kullamannen to me, and it’s too good to ignore! For a kids show, I think it’s very ambitious.

@Kaisfatdad – what’s interesting is that Åke Holmberg also worked as a translator of books from the English language, and other languages too. So you’d think he could have translated his own books into English as well…!

Yes, I’ve heard about it, @Kaisfatdad, but not exactly how successful they were. I think the Ture Sventon books by Åke Holmberg would have deserved that kind of success more IMO, they’re sooo much funnier (only […]

@Kaisfatdad – you mean Fablernas värld, of course. I remember watching a feature film version of Fablernas värld at the sadly no longer existing cinema Röda Kvarn at Biblioteksgatan, when I was very little – I be […]

@Kaisfatdad – just one final childhood classic with a jazzy theme tune; Agaton Sax!

My pleasure @Kaisfatdad. If I ever went on Mastermind my specialist subject would be British jazz of the 50s and 60s. Full of great stories and characters – and, of course, music. I remember seeing Gurney Slade […]

@Kaisfatdad, no it’s definitely up there. But the competition is fierce! Lots of great music in many of them too.

I remember seeing ‘Sven Klang’s Kvintett’ ages ago and really enjoying it. Thanks @Kaisfatdad for reminding me and pointing me to the You Tube link.

@Kaisfatdad. There was only about 11 minutes of instrumental music in the original release. I know that because, some time ago, I went to the trouble of extracting the music from the DVD (I know). This excluded […]

Well! I can’t agree with your characterisation of my view, @Kaisfatdad! “Jazz = gritty reality” works just as well as a theory, even if the jazz in question is the exquisite Cleo…I don’t think the jazz necessari […]

Undercut, @Kaisfatdad? I thought it supported Leffe’s theory… ”jazz = gritty reality”…no? I don’t think the jazz itself necessarily has to be gritty.

@Kaisfatdad That’s wonderful to hear. I do think she’s one of the good ones in every sense (but especially the voice!) Her one album to date isn’t *quite* as good as I wish it was but it’s at least 50% brilliant […]

“Afterword Superstar” – that descriptor is going to stick, @Kaisfatdad!

Really enjoyed that and I hate Bohemian Rhapsody. Thanks @kaisfatdad
