A couple of Richard Thompson related programmes tonight 24/03

More4 at 22:00 has a programme recalling the real"Grizzly Man" about whom the film was made.

At 00:10 more likely to be of interest to RT fans, a programme about the music for the "Grizzly Man" film soundtrack.

I met someone on a train to Aberdeen who said he was in Fairport Convention - probably during the early days - we were a bit tipsy and all that. He said he lived in a castle outside Aberdeen and was chatting on about RT; John Martyn and Jennifer Warnes, and so on.

What do you think, genuine?

I have since found out it was Dave Swarbrick

Could have asked him if he remembered, when I see them on Saturday, but unfortunately DS is not coming now.
It's the Fairport Convention "do"at the Barbican, they are not coming round my house or anything.

Re: the RT documentaries , I switched them off last time as I found Herzog? really annoying, he's film maker and I could understand the musicians not tell him to shut up, when he was offering "music" hints.
