GG had an easy way with the audience, regaled us with stories of his experiences and played some utterly compelling music. I can't remember the last time I felt so relaxed at a concert, especially after a day's work. Most enjoyable.

Good one Martin.

I saw Giltrap in the '70s, and he is a consumate performer. Glad you enjoyed the gig.

I bought a book of Gordon Giltrap guitar transcriptions a few years back (I know :rolleyes:), and once I'd mastered what I could, I sold it on eBay... to Gordon Giltrap :lol: I asked him why he wanted to buy his own book and he replied that it was out if print and he had never kept a copy, saw it on eBay and thought "why not?"

Hmm, bit of a cock-up maybe? I don't really think the first gig you went to really fits into a thread for the last gig you went to :scratch:

Hmm, seeing as he is the drummer and the Keith Emerson and Greg Lake parts are critical, who will be playing with him?

Hi Tim,

Sorry to butt in, but have you decided yet what you're doing about your records? :)

What? Records? You getting rid of them? BUNDLE!!!
26-09-2011, 10:44
Tim

I posted on the Weymouth Record Shop thread (I think?). But I plan to sell them as a bundle or to whoever by talking them to Scalford next year..... AoS members will get first choice.

There's less than 100, not sure as I have not counted them yet, but all in minty nick as I'm a bit anal like that and not been played for 20 years. I may do a list for 'special' people here :eyebrows: (and yes Marco, you have always been special :kiss: )
26-09-2011, 10:52
Marco

Aye, special needs, mate! :lol: :eyebrows:

Yup, please do a list for folks here A.S.A.P, as I'm sure you'll shift a few ;)

Tindersticks are out on tour as a band again, they're doing a split show, part one is the film scores they've done, part 2 apparently a gig...I do hope part 2 is significantly longer than part 1, although I do enjoy some of their film scores ;)

If you have not seen or heard of The Musical Box, then they are worth exploring and shouldn't be dismissed as a 'cover band' - they are rather extraordinary IMO.
Take a listen on their website, the music you hear is them, not Genesis ;)

Rickie Lee Jones tonight in London?

Rickie Lee Jones
Sat 26th November

Very late notice I know, but I just went onto the Southbank Centre website and was very surprised to see there are still quite a few tickets available for tonight's show at the Royal Festival Hall :scratch:

Rickie is performing her first two albums in entirety (Rickie Lee Jones & Pirates), so just in case anyone has a free evening?

Wednesday 11/01/2012 - Union Chapel, Islington, London, UK

I saw them in Liverpool on the Trick of The Tail tour, very good.
After the album they did other songs and when the singer "Phil Collins" was doing Suppers Ready I couldn't make out if he was now "Peter" or still "Phil". :scratch:

Shostakovich Sympony No. 7 / St Petersburg Philharmonic / Barbican

This concert on 24th March features not only the St Petersburg Philharmonic playing Shossie's 7th but the superb conductor Yuri Temirkanov. And then we have the fabulous pianist Martha Argerich playing a piano concerto (TBC)!

http://www.barbican.org.uk/music/eve...l.asp?ID=11853

This is one not to be missed. Apologies to those in the north but this is worth the train journey. See you there.

The Civil Wars autumn UK tour announced.

The Civil Wars

http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w...BGPLTlCL-1.jpg

I think quite a few folk enjoyed my album club selection of Barton Hollow by The Civil Wars, which recently won 2 Grammy awards.
Their March tour mostly sold out immediately, but they have just announced an autumn UK tour - most tickets go on sale tomorrow,
but Southampton and Cardiff and some others are on sale now.
They are an exceptional live act and a ticket won't break the bank either - highly recommended :)

Try and catch Ellen and the Escapades too if you can Dan, great new band with their first LP coming out in April. An alternative folk band with a bit of pop/country going on too. I really like them :)

Off to see Ozric Tentacles tonight. Not the classic early 90's lineup but Jumpin' Jon Egan is supporting tonight with his outfit Champignon, hopefully he might join the rest of the band again for a rendition of Eternal Wheel?! Here's hoping.

Saw them in the early 90's at the phoenix festival (straford-upon-avon)...

Got my ticket this morning Martin, Level 1 Unreserved - these have now sold out. Standing and Levels 2 & 3 left, so I wouldn't hang around if you want to go.
Also, don't buy them from the promoter, get them from the Shepherd's Bush Empire direct - £4.00 cheaper: http://www.o2shepherdsbushempire.co..../birdy-tickets

They were at their peak in the early 90's. They were very good the other night as well, which was a real shock. The lineup has changed a lot, only Ed remains consistent, but the band is very tight; Brandi on bass and Ollie, in particular. It seems they live for the music and Ed's guitar is fantastic. They were always best live versus on record. I'm not sure if the Phoenix would have been the best venue to enjoy the Ozrics. They can work very well in a tent, but stick them on the main stage in front of an indifferent audience I think the magic would be lost.

PS. I know they're 30 years too late for you Andr'e!

Here's my favourite... skip to 12'10". The guitar is sublime when it kicks from major to minor..., around 14'30"... :)

Fantastic stuff. I really like these guys and I have most of their albums. I am normally pretty hard on groups that are ....well....clones of others. Gong, Steve Hillage, System 7 and Hawkwind all leap to mind re Ozrics but I still like them.
04-05-2012, 22:27
Beechwoods

There is a very clear influence, but Ozrics do their own thing, and after nearly 30 years they have many clones of their own now! If you like their stuff, a lot, check out their website where you can get unreleased and live stuff in FLAC format. Proper price for an album's worth of material, but they deserve to make a living. It's nice to be able to hear some of the offshoots properly, like Nodens Ictus, one of their more ambient side-projects.
