Pat off the Lash

[Serial_Apologist]

Wagner's Parsinomious has to take precedence, so no J to Z this coming Saturday. We're used by now to being second-class citizens, but sorry and all that, all the same, folks!

Sat 2 July
12midnight - Freeness
Corey Mwamba with two collaborations - guitarist Dominic Lash with pianist Pat Thomas, and Barcelona-based Tomomi Kubo with saxophonist Ferran Besalduch - and new music from WeFreeStrings.

I've always thought of Dominic Lash as being a very good bass player, so we'll have to see if the above is correct. The write-up below suggests a very interesting programme.

Concentrating on Bruce Turner, it says, Dad.

I haven't yet fully toothcombed next week's Radio Times for the telly welly, but note that a four-part series on the Rolling Stones commences on BBC2 on Saturday, carefully placed post-watershed at 2130 hrs, so this is really one for our brothers, sisters and non-binary comrades over on the putative Experimental etc bored.

Some may be interested in 'Percy Shelley, Reformer and Radical' on Radio 4, Sun 3 July at 4.30pm presented by Benjamin Zephaniah who was inspired by Paul Foot's book 'Red Shelley'.
Will record the programme as it clashes with JRR!

I think that there is a memorial to Shelley's brother in the church in Avington which is on the River Itchen NE of Winchester as you head out towards New Alresford. I am not sure what his relationship wi the village is but Avington House used to be the residence of the Duke of Chandos who was the composer Handel's principle sponsor. i am not sure if it was the same Duke who was also heavily involved in the development of cricket in the area and the Hambledon Club in particular in the late 1700s. (Alresford is another vplace associated with cricket - the landlord of The Globe playing for both Alresford and Hambledon and his tactic of blocking the wicket with his legs ultimately resulted in the LBW rule.)

Not too familiar with Shelley as a writer but Winchester is, of course, more closely associated with John Keats whose "Ode to Autumn" was inspired by a walk along the water meadows south of the river which, incidentally would have passed the Green Jackets ground where St Cross now play cricket on Saturdays.

"The Mask of Anarchy"
by Percy Bysshe Shelley 1819

Written after the Peterloo Massacre, which Shelly was abroad for...

Should be memorised by all.


"I met Murder on the way —
He had a mask like Castlereagh —
Very smooth he looked, yet grim;
Seven blood-hounds followed him:

All were fat; and well they might
Be in admirable plight,
For one by one, and two by two,
He tossed them human hearts to chew
Which from his wide cloak he drew.

Next came Fraud, and he had on,
Like Eldon, an ermined gown;
His big tears, for he wept well,
Turned to mill-stones as they fell.

And the little children, who
Round his feet played to and fro,
Thinking every tear a gem,
Had their brains knocked out by them"....

There is an anecdote about the radical Thomas Paine slipping back in to the UK from exile in France to watch Hambledon play cricket but I believe it was unlikely to have been true.

JR , my JRR for Johnny Griffin's "Black was the colour (of my true loves hair)" is hopefully going out on July 17, to celebrate a friend's birthday. Very grateful thanks to Mr Shipton!

Something similar needs to be written about the present gruesome Tory cabinet.
Look forward to hearing your Johnny Griffin track on JRR.
Was expecting my request for Charles Lloyd's 'Apex' to be played today but it mysteriously disappeared at the end

JR I'd expected it to be there too but it didn't make it. Sorry for incorrect info on my website - I will include it in a future week, but not til later this month. Apologies! AS

Many thanks, Alyn - it'll be worth waiting for!

He does indeed play guitar as well. I presume the music in the programme will have been taken from this album of duos with Pat: https://dominiclash.bandcamp.com/alb...oxford-brevity

Not an easy album to find.

Thanks! I bought it when it came out with a bit of trepidation, Johnny Griffin playing traditional folk songs?!! But the second side of the LP was quite different and the first side is equally excellent. Most of the "folk" side was re released on one of those Riverside double LPs which also included the brilliant "Way Out" session with Drew, Ware and Philly JJ. A classic album. That run of Riverside albums rarely gets a mention now but he was always trying for something new.

Well, with Liz Truss looking increasingly likely to be PM, I think that the Conservatives are like turkeys voting for Christmas. I really hope she wins as there is no way that I can see her succeeding in any aspect of government. After Boris, I just feel that she will be the final nail in the coffin for the Conservatives and would be very surprised if she last 12 month before we have another no confidence vote. I feel that there is a sea change on the horizon and that the Tories will be swept from power for a long time after the next election. It makes we wish Labour had had the balls to stick with the honourable, authentic and principled Corbyn as opposed to the "plastic" Starmer.

I had a conversation with my mate's daughter about politicians and how the "ideal" template has shifted since the pandemic so that female political leaders have replaced the likes of Cameron and Blair as the model that now resonates with voters such as Ahern in NZ . I don't think Truss will fit that bill and am rather hoping that Ms Sturgeon will make mincemeat of her.
