Weren't they on Later... with Jools Holland during the summer? They were good!
Hi Martin ,yes they were they were in the UK doing the festivals , their debut album 'days are gone' was released on Monday on double 45rpm vinyl (lovely pressing) CD and Delux CD. A strong recommendation from me

Just back from an evening with Stefan Grossman - an excellent gig.
That guy has some stories to tell! There aren't too many people around any more who can say things like "....so I took Mississippi John Hurt to the house of my guitar teacher, the Reverend Gary Davis......"
Or "......I was given the job of looking after the performers before concert that evening. There they were, Big Joe Williams, Skip James, Son House and Bukka White, all staring at each other across the living room...."
And he can play too!

Another gig tonight - same venue but the music couldn't have been more different.
Acid Mothers Temple are a very, very noisy Japanese rock band. Fantastic!
Bit late with this as it was about a month ago, Roger Waters - The Wall at Manchester Arena.
I saw The Wall at the same venue two years ago and as good as that show was this was so much better. The first time around Roger presented The Wall as we know it and added a few special effects , a rock concert in other words. This time it was like a theatre impresario had put the show on, it was incredibly entertaining visually and sonically, probably the best show I have ever seen. Roger as the fascist leader the highlight. 10/10
Oops, big catchup time again:
Cropredy Festival 2013 - August 8-10: - Highlights were Fairport Convention (obviously), Alice Cooper, Kathryn Roberts & Sean Lakeman, 10cc and Levellers (and a surprise impromptu set by Jasper Carrott!)
Jim Moray & Eliza Carthy @ the MAC in Birmingham 22/08/13 This was something special. Two of my favourite folk artists playing together in a small outdoor amphitheatre in Cannon Hill Park in Birmingham. A perfect evening.
The Defiled (supporting Motionless in White) - Birmingham Academy 2 20/09/13 - Great night although the set was a little short, chuffed to meet the band again.
The Duckworth Lewis Method - Birmingham Glee Club 29/09/13
Space - HMV Institute Birmingham 18/10/13
Bowling For Soup - Birmingham Academy 1 19/10/13
Savage Mother Tongue - Birmingham Academy 3 24/10/13 And now we're up to date. This was a great night. I was on my tod for this one, but it was still a great night. There were 3 other bands on, Valous, Left For Red, and Voodoo Six, but Savage Mother Tongue stole the show, and it was great to meet them after the show too. A real shame this is their farewell tour.

I like everything really. From the britpop bands like UB40 right back to classic rock, like Wings. They're only the band the Beatles could have been.
