Newly released / found music of a certain sort

I don't remember too well, but I think John Wayne was in it.

Are you sure it wasn't Jocky Wilson?

(and I love the polite applause at the end...I mean, that's entertainment)

Have you read ‘Ginger Geezer’ jc. How often do the people who make you laugh have less than simple lives!

Never read it, cloughie. Loved that quote down the page - 'I fear that a single one of Viv's thoughts would blow my damn brains out' - John Peel. Must go have a look.

Well here's 6m 48s of newly-released pure delight.

Courtesy of Petroc on Brekkie earlier this week, I found out that Ballake Sissoko has a new record coming out next month - here's a beautiful piece with Sona Jobarteh from the forthcoming release - 'Djourou'.

Oops, GT...just realised I was at it too.

Anyway, no doubt he's been playing Rhiannon Giddens and Franco Turrisi too, and this is my favourite track from the recently released record - 'Avalon'.

Worth watching if only just for the dancing.

Marry Waterson and Oliver Knight do a great version of Lal's 'Fine Horseman'.

From the city that brought us Staff Benda Billili, Konono No 1 and Kasai Allstars, here's more of that electronic junk music this time from Panter - typical Kinshasan energy and a fine vid too - wish I could do those back flips.

That's a great pick JC. You're too modest - I'm sure I have read reports of you doing back flips after a wild night down Mrs McNab's Drink Parlour in the Kirrie Weekly Gleaner?

Saw this highly entertaining article from a couple of years ago about Chris May making an album with Kinshasa outfit, KOKOKO. What a place!

I posted on another thread about Ian Lynch's podcast, Fire Draw Near - ostensibly dedicated to Irish traditional music.
Well, not always.
Here's a track from Ep. 24 by Hassan Wargui - new to me - and the track title is translated as "Music Speaks"

From her new record with Dave Milligan, Karine Powart making a wonderful job of Michael Marra's 'Heaven's Hound'.

Glorious!

Imarhan feat. Gruff Rhys - "Adar Newlan" - fine piece of Tuareg music...nice vid too.

Things opened up enough and just in time for the 'Lost Songs' collective to perform in Perth Concert Hall last night - almost a full house from where we were sitting. Fantastic evening - the wonderful musicians were delighted to play together in front of an audience, and the audience were delighted to have them there. Great songs and performances throughout - very impressed by cellist Beth Porter and a couple of her MacFarlane inspired songs. Here was one of the highlights of the night for me; Karine Polwart leading off on a song about that wee flower that inhabits so much of our coast, Thrift.
