Kathryn Tickell's World on 3

well that was a pleasant surprise.... but once past the surprise, well, it all got a bit bland I thought... Blind Willie Johnson excepted of course.

Thanks GT - I'm looking forward to listening to it.

I enjoyed that show last night. Some fine tunes in there. I had a listen back to the show a couple of weeks ago and enjoyed that KT show too. Especially great to hear Dona Rosa again - what a voice!

Hmm, a bit predictable for me JC, although never tire of a griot. Compared to current LJ, which should be retitled 'Mixing It' though it's a bit of a haven. Perhaps oasis is more appropriate..

I was about to say that I believe KT's got Lady Maisery on the show this week because I've been listening to them in the car today - only to find that the Scheds have changed and it's BBC introducing instead. Oh well, I liked this track which on the record sounds sort of like when I first ever heard Steeleye Span harking the village, and Sandy D did the track. Anyway here they are on stage in a cold hall somewhere. They've got a good sound.

Love that one.

KT began her most recent programme with Kadialy Kouyate.

I'm not sure why the album isn't getting more reviews as it looks pretty good to me.

I'll have to give her a go again. She seems pleasant enough and knows her stuff. (DWFP = Damning With Faint Praise)

Maybe the BBC will outsource "all" their WM output to the same production company who've taken over Late Junction...might ring a few needed changes.

Very enjoyable show last night, what I heard of it...the very enjoyable Young 'Uns (no Cliff in sight, but David Essex, strangely) and Mrs Tickell was a fine host, trying to keep her Dad away from the mike, it seemed. Anyway this New Year's Wo3 effort from a folk club in Newcastle, fuelled by a 3-1 victory earlier in the evening by the Toon, reminded me of some old days on the show. There was the great Mary Ann New Year gig from Ardgour at New Year with Michael Marra a few years back; although last night's show had me thinking of the night Kershaw went to the pub with the Oldham Tinkers...them were the days, and perhaps still are...more shows from pubs/clubs please R3!

A very Happy New Year, JC, our Host GT and everyone else on the WM forum.

Well, yes......but. The music was great, but halfway through, I became very irritated with the banter of a couple of performers who found it incongruous that R3 audience should be listening in to what was going on in the pub - R3 too posh, perhaps? It might have had something to do with a certain R3 VIP who hails from Stockton-on-Tees? Anyhow I switched over to the Late Junction episode with Richard Dawson, as recommended by you, and found the presentation much better.

Overall, a great improvement on Lopa Kathari, who unfortunately has gone past her sell-by date for me, despite her obvious skills and knowledge.

Now that you mention it, Ob, that was annoying me too...I enjoyed it but there were a few too many in-jokes going on...I just thought it was a Newcastle-type thing.

The thing for me about Lopa is that she lacks any enthusiasm. As I say every so often, she sounds like she's reading from an autocue. I never feel like going and getting music based on any of her recommendation either. There's a few folk out there who could add stuff into the mix.

Just caught up with Wo3 and its opening track led to a magnificent version of the wonderful 'Cover your Eyes', with Karine Polwart and the Scottish Symphony Orchestra.

...I was left wondering whether Margaret Barry would recognise Cara Dillon's version as 'She Moves in through the Fair'.

Getting myself confused because I thought I was watching a visual clip of Karine Polwart a few minutes ago and now I can't find it. Also, I know her from the album with the great "King of Birds" on it. But I am not sure I get the "Daily Reflections" bit and how it relates to the "Songs of Separation" CD. I'm guessing it was a women's workshop, possibly on TV.

this track is compulsory listening JC. for everyone.

I like to think she would love it, then I'd play her the Sinead O'connor version with The Chieftains and she'd be in tears. I'd tell her that was possibly the drink and she'd join in...
