....love it Paul! ...but the red one is eclipsed by our cloudy evening!

I loved this double bill from MA's Friday show - two bits of terrific Scandanavian folk, I thought.
Markku Lepisto, Pekka Lehti (bass) — Myrskylintu (The Arctic Fulmar)
fribo — The Night We Drank the Puirt

The Spaniels who went before were pretty excellent too.

I enjoyed that fribo track too. The whole show to me was quintessentially MAK...pretty damn fine.

There was an air of melancholy through a lot of the show, I thought which was emphasised by Gasandji in that unenviable position of being interviewed without an interviewer. Mind you I loved the Brazilian piece (not a bit pensive) - must go buy Songlines - and it was great to hear the Kate Rusby track and the Battlefield Band and the Stewart/Bourgault track - great show.

I love a bit of melancholy I do

You're right JC - well spotted; in fact there's been a bit of melancholy around lately - maybe we'll have to start a relentlessly upbeat WM thread to cheer everyone up.:cool2:

Here's a samba pie dish for both friends here and forum-gazing geezers everywhere, who must have loved these young lads during MAK's grand show on the 18th June.

Thanks Paul - it was that first track that had me rushing out next day to get the 'free' CDs on Songlines - it's kinda life affirming somehow and in a good way.

[Paul Sherratt]

>>life affirming

Indeed, John.

And all shows should have one.

At least.

Friday's show was another pretty good one, only slightly marred by the over long interviews.

Heaven was brilliant - I'd go see Ebo at WOMAD, if I wasn't Iona bound.
Mamadou was glorious - how does that Diabate family do it?
Loved Meshiya Lake's take on Bessie.:cool2:
Brian Finnegan - choice cut!
Still got last half hour of the show to go.
Guests - a bit worthy - not bad but I prefer this version of 'Old Paint'.

Sorry Global haven't got the characteristic discipline to handle 140.

No probs, glad to have flushed a more thoughtful review than mine out...with which I agree. 'worthy' is spot on.
Can never have too much Diabate on national radio. If only Rajar W read this thread...
By the way I nominate Verity for the missing Wo3 presenter job.

Great to hear the shark callers last night with Mary Ann - I thought they looked a bit lost in the vast space of the RAH during the Human Planet Prom, but in the WO3 studio last night they sounded completely at home - a bit like they sounded when Andy was talking to them for Music Planet......another short programme mind you, but she had a fine entrance in with no voices for the first three tracks until Bara Grimsdottir, a voice well worth waiting for.

[johncorrigan]

....and another fine track by Mamani Keita too.......and good to hear a successful and very fine suggestion to MAK from a certain Mr Sherratt.
Really a very fine show, if a bit short.

[Paul Sherratt]

I hadn't actually heard that track before, john. I just spotted a revival of Lazy's album by those good Ace people and asked them to send a
copy to a remote post code in Scotland ! I've done the same with good ol' cross-dressing soul man, Bobby Marchan. It'd be excellent to hear a top version of
' What Can I Do ' filtering across the airwaves ...

Could he have been the one Susan Maughan was singing about ?
