MP3s available from http://www.bradleysalmanac.com/2007/11/mp3s-spiritualized-live-in-boston.htm

Big Al, Level 42 are my favourite band!!!!  Had a two and a bit year email relationship with their guitarist Boon Gould after I bought his Reno Les Paul Hoyer in 2001. So sad he passed away unexpectedly in late April.  Only 64 if memory serve me right.  Miss him so much.

 

Been years and years since I saw them live, but have got tickets for late 2020 at The Royal Concert Hall. Going to be supported by Hipsway who have reformed and released new material earlier this year, thirty years after their last release

Hipsway were one of, if not the first bands I took my wife to see when we first met a third of a century ago. They played Fusion in Aberdeen and much as I loved them back then, I wouldn't want to see them now. Time passes.

 

Kate Tempest is one of my absolute favourites, this song, for me is one of her the best she's done.

Skip to 1.10 if you want to head straight for the song.

 

 

If he has no friends and everything's against him

If he's failed in everything he has tried

Try to lift his load and help him bear his burden

Let him know that you are walking by his side

If he feels that all is lost and he has fallen

Help to place this poor man's feet on solid ground

And when this world has turned its back against him

Always lift him up and never knock him down

 

They give you a house made of fibro cement

You don't need no money

'Cause you don't pay no rent

Listened to over 100 albums in the last 3 weeks cos I'm the king of music, Gaunche, Necking, Amyl and The Sniffers, Purple Mountains, B-Boys, Fresh, The Darts and The Muslims are some of the best.

I fully appreciate that a lot of you won't even give this a listen, and I am in no way a " Fan " of his, but this was pretty good, and probably hit home because of my own Fathers illness, I thought it was relatable and glad I listened to it.

 

" I'm not your son, you're not my father

  We're just two grown men saying goodbye

  No need to forgive, no need to forget

  I know your mistakes and you know mine "

 

One for the Musos'.  Snarky Puppy  -   

 

Spot the Geek @2.53 - 2.58 

 

 

 

 

 

Like this guy - Theo Katzman 

 

 

And a bit of Funk - worth it for the bass players head movement

 

Fearless flyers

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Love RTJ, so glad I got to see them live a couple of years back over in Vegas, superb live act.

the new album from Bambara, STRAY, is very good, excellent live band as well seen them supporting Idles over in Vancouver.

Was recommended this guy on Twitter, and I am thoroughly impressed 

 

 

Heard this for the first time yesterday. Love it.

My mate was at that gig and is a huge fan. He introduced Bonamassa to me a few years ago but alas I am thoroughly unimpressed. Yes he's a good technician but I don't hear any beauty neither in his guitar and especially not in his voice.

Are your mates initials SF? Out of curiosity.

 

And it's different strokes for different folks rocket, I was genuinely impressed, voice & technical ability.

 

Always looking to broaden my Musical Horizon, but I really struggle, and I mean really struggle, to enjoy anything modern and in the charts, always the lesser known Musicians I find myself enjoying, the likes of White Buffalo, The Fumes and now Bonamassa, if you can recommend anything ( Blues/Folk/Acoustic ) I'd be sure to give it a listen.

No, he's HM, a Scot living south of London.

 

Absolutely different strokes. He loves him. I don't. But he did introduce me to Fleetwood Mac, a band I never cared for until he insisted I listened to some lesser known tracks.

 

Will come back to you with some great music I'd not heard before this week, including some stuff recorded before I was born, introduced to me by our 18 year old. I knew she loved music but didn't appreciate how deep her knowledge is and how broad her tastes are.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I asked her to put up some music on the telly just now. These were her first selections which coincidentally includes Fleetwood Mac, even though I hadn't mentioned them to her.

 

I am Fleetwood Mac daft rocket! In my top 3 of all time ( Springsteen, Eagles & Fleetwood Mac ) " Sara " & " Storms " are 2 gems as well. Funny thing is, I fucking detest that She-Devil Stevie Nicks, loathe her. Buckingham for me, is the brain behind all of their success, she writes good lyrics, I won't dispute that, it's her fucking petulant behavior towards Buckingham that I can't tolerate, not that she gives a fuck 

 

I will give the others a listen tomorrow 

 

 

 

KFP,theres a few strains of blues,from the old Black guys like Howlin Wolf,Muddy Waters,John Lee Hooker,BB King to guitar based ones which I prefer like Stevie Ray Vaughan

 

 

 

Robert Cray is bluesy with good lyrics 

 

 

Never been into folk that much but Aoife ODonovan is a modern day acoustic/folk singer I can listen to
