Some female vocalists:
Dina Medina -'Pegam Na Mô'
https://i.scdn.co/image/ab67616d0000...59937080ff64da
Label: Dina Medina Music, DMM201501
Country: The Netherlands
Format: CD
Released: 13 November 2015
A singer from the Cape Verdean Islands living in the Netherlands. She sings African and Portuguese melodies, she also songs for theatre shows. She started her singing career at the age of 12 with the Cape Verdean band Skysound, and subsequently lent her vocal talent to various albums by well-known groups such as Gil & The Perfects and Splash. At that time, Medina is one of the first Cape Verdean singers to be professionally involved with music so early. In 1995 Medina makes her solo debut "Paixao e Coracao", followed two years later by "Separacao". She thus becomes a real pop star in Cape Verde
In 2015, Medina recorded the album “Pegam na mô”. On this album, which she makes together with Thijs Borsten, she combines different styles such as the Funana, Zouk and of course the Morna (a traditional Cape Verdean type of music full of melancholy).

I'm rather jealous - I wished I'd seen Floyd; I've seen many, many bands that I've liked over the years but not seeing Floyd is one of my biggest regrets !! :(Quote:

I saw them at Man City's Maine Road in 1988, and while enjoyable (amazing visuals!) I find everything they've done post-Waters a bit on the bland side. Roger may be a miserable git, but I preferred PF with his angry input. Gave the music some balls.Quote:

And then there is 'Think Floyd': https://www.thinkfloyd.net/, a UK tribute group, who has received praise from PF drummer Nick MAson.Quote:

I think I may have seen Think Floyd a few years ago at a large bike festival. Really good. The bass on "Breathe" in particular had me trouser legs flapping :)Quote:

The only thing I got at Sunday's car boot. Don't know why I bought this, I already have a vinyl copy. probably because there was bugger all else. Car boot these days is 80% traders, 20% crap. Ok if you're in the market for a phone charger or a giant pack of bog rolls.
I totally agree ..................and traders = f3k1n rip off, especially when it comes to vinyls, CD's etc!!!!!!Quote:

Told me he was going to leave the stickers on and sell them at that price. I bet he doesn't though, more likely he'll bung another 100% on the price and play the long game with them.
We call these people vultures - I've done bootys before, and these traders are all over your stuff before you can even get it out of the car. I will not buy from them on principle.
indeed... not really fair but folk get tempted especially these days. ive a few hundred to sell still but im not able to post them off to folk now so they are just sitting upstairs, hopefully increasing in valueQuote:

Anyway, this is a subject that just depresses me, so back to 'spinning today', with this:

Shepherd Moons. Now I really am depressed :(
there are a few i might keep as keepsakes, but most will go someday. as you say the majority will be sold to whoever i guess.. if your ever up this way you can lol... a lot are not worth a lot although rareQuote:

Should you want to sell your Blues LPs, I would be interested. Collection would be a problem though.
Depends on the venue - our nearest Sunday bootsale, opens to buyers at 10:00, and that applies to private and trade sellers, as well as to the general public. It is quite well 'policed'.Quote:

I find traders, in the main, to be arrogant 845t4rds, they only care about how much they prize out of you and have little interest in the items that they sell other than their value and, they view most people as just targets for money; if you try and barter with them, you get the feeling that they think of you as an irritating tight fisted pain in the 4r5e!!!! My attitude in a nutshell is...... 4Q AND UR STUFF FOR SALE!!! Like others have said previously, I just dont bother with them.
Grant, I should be coming up to Scotland in a few weeks, and I'm sure I can persuade Anita that Edinburgh would be nice for a short stay... "Oh, while we're up here can we just visit my forum buddy Grant?" (that's what she calls you all, my forum buddies) :)Quote:
