The Free piano parts were played by Andy Fraser, were they not? He certainly performed at the piano when they played My Brother Jake on TOTP, without a bass player

and very late 😉 He died in November 2020

That Shadows & Light gig is wonderful. Hattie Whitehead really impressive in the Joni role

Joe’s 1976 album Stingray is one of my all time faves of all time mate! The band is great – Steve Gadd, Gordon Edwards, Cornell Dupree, Eric Gale and Richard Tee, but Joe’s singing is absolutely fantastic. […]

Folk At The Barlow. Based in Edgworth, formerly known as Bromley Cross Folk Club. I volunteered to be the Booker for 2021, had the whole thing wrapped by the end of Jan 2020. Didn’t work out so well! Luckily we’ve […]

I watched the Delfest stream last year which was mostly highlights of previous years. Leftover Salmon, who I’ve never previously encountered, performed Neil Young’s Harvest album in sequence. I thought it was […]

I’m not overly bothered at the imminent 2-shows a night, cabaret seating gigs. As it happens I booked Belshazzar’s Feast to appear at our Folk club in September so don’t need to rush to see them at the Met. I have […]

Plodding along in semi-rural Lancs, staying close to home. Over lockdown my walking & running mileage has been more than half of my car mileage. We both got our 2nd vaccination last week which feels good. Looking […]

I didn’t explain my thinking very well earlier. I’m not expecting an election, and was using the post-war election as an example of how, once the prevailing hardship eases, the public stop giving the […]

From today’s UK newspaper headlines I’m really starting to think his number is up. Now the vaccine rollout is taking hold and the cautious roadmap is playing out nicely people might be wondering what do we need […]

Sorry I just noticed Vincent posted about Ralph Shuckett’s demise 3 days before me

2 very talented guys, stalwarts ofthe 70s west coast scene. Ralph Shuckett who played on Carole King’s Tapestry (Smackwater Jack) and later was a member of Todd Rundgren’s Utopia has died in the last few days, […]

I enjoyed that greatly. Well done!

Thanks for sharing that with us, a wonderful tribute to your son

I bought Cuttin Grass Vol 2 by Sturgill Simpson, The Beacon by Harbottle & Jonas, Plastic Bouqet by Kacy & Clayton and Marlon Williams. The latest John Smith doesn’t appear to be on Bandcamp. After this bonanza, […]

I read that the drummer Don Heffington died just over a week ago, aged 70 and being treated in hospital for leukemia. He recorded and toured with many big names in the Americana genre. I know his came from Emmylou […]

Former Afterword stalwart Beany worked there for quite a while, I’m guessing as an Accountant? He seems to have fond memories of it, according to his Twitter output

HEARD:
I’ve been doing my bit on Bandcamp Friday. February’s faves include Joan Shelly’s “Live at the Bomhard”, the Rodney Crowell curated Music Health Alliance Compilation “Songs from Quarantine” and Nubya […]
