Coming to a venue near you this Spring.IMHO well worth seeing. Does justice to ND's songs and guitar playing.

I wondered if the Zappa fans here were aware that a 'new' album by The Mothers of Invention has surfaced.It's entitled 'The Artisan Acetate'. It was purchased for $12000 by a collector and then made available to the members of the Zappateers forum. It...

It's on it's way.

I've just posted info on this over in Padded Cell, but thought it perhaps should be flagged here as well...Steve.

BBC's World music DJ Charlie Gillett has sadly passed away...I used to really enjoy his shows on the World Service, particularly when travelling for long stints....Will be missed.P.S. And thanks for Dire Straits Charlie!

I've liked all the M&tM albums since Metro Music through the wonderful Danesparc and the beautiful Mystery Walk and The World is a Ball to the excellent Modern Lullaby . My favourite MatM album has always been This the Ice Age - an almost faultless record and one of the highlights of the 80s.

I've a few Fairport C albums on vinyl and thought I'd begin to build up a set on CD. Just bought "What we did on our holidays" and "History of Fairport" from Amazon. They were quite cheap but the sound is dire. Are there any remasterd albums on CD or...

I wondered if anyone listened to the broadcast of Jan Garbarek's recent Barbican concert on Radio 3 last night.Really good pianist in the quartet but I guess that when you have played with Keith Jarrett it raises the bar.

I spent some time this morning with the Shostakovitch Symphony No. 15 (Rostropovich/London Symphony Orchestra).The second movement is quite remarkable. There are subtle and profound brass chorales, A pair of Soliloquies, one for cello, the other for...
