    Just downloaded Jackie Oates - Hyperboreans from i-tunes. I bought tickets to see her in a place called Llanhenock (thats easy for me to say) which is a very small village about 2 miles from here on 07th March. 1 pub and a row of mega expensive houses and nohing else there; I doubt if 50 people live there. She has been booked by a local Arts Fesival. The hall is minute so should be up close and personal!! I will report back.

    That setting should suit her very well and I'm sure you'll enjoy. I must confess that I was disappointed with her as a live performer, I think diffident is a good word to describe her stage persona. However, that hasn't stopped me enjoying her wonderful music and I would go to see her again, even I just closed my eyes to wallow in the texture of that beautiful voice.

    Friend has just lent me his copy of "On the Cobbles", John Martyn's last studio album from 2004. It is utterly mesmerising and listening to it is alternately uplifting (to think he could make such music in the same year that he had to have his leg amputated) and saddening that it turned out to be the last "new" album that he made. I hadn't realised that copies of it were such a rarity until Andy told me how much he paid for it. And now I realise how good a mate he is for lending it to me;)

    Just bought a Belshazzar's Feast CD which was lovely and reminded me of Bob and Julie. It put a shine on Sunday.

    Various Artists - The Gathering

    Not, as some might think, an autumnal recording from Derbyshire last year :D

    It's a compilation album released in 1981 featuring Donal Lunny, Paul Brady, Andy Irvine, Matt Molloy, Tommy Potts, Triona Ni Dhomnaill, & Peter Browne.

    I found this wee gem (and quite a few others) in a bag of tapes in the loft. The tapes are the result of a well stocked local library quite a few years ago. I borrowed (and will freely admit) taped from them on a regular basis. I thought I'd lost the lot years ago :) The tapes are old and will need some careful tidying up - but the results on this forst one are very promising - I'm enjoying listening anyway :)

    Some really good choices there, Goose. The mention of Sandy reminded me that last night we were listening to Vicky Clayton's album with her singing Sandy Denny songs. Delightful, but still have to prefer the originals. Tonight it's been the first Imagined Village album.
