Hard to beat this one, but the film's worth looking out:

    Yes - that's good. I was having a look at the newish Mull Historical Society record and am a bit disappointed by it. However, the focus is good:

    "With all the loud sniggering and the mass of terrible reviews that surrounded the release of Morrissey’s debut novel "List of the Lost", it was easy to overlook the other indie songwriter who turned his hand to literature last year. There were fewer creepy sex scenes and no mention of a ‘bulbous salutation’, but Colin MacIntyre’s "The Letters of Ivor Punch" was much more to the critics' liking and ended up winning a few awards. Set on a fictional Scottish island, the book centred on an eccentric character who wrote letters to President Obama telling of local gossip and long held myths. It was informed by MacIntyre’s own upbringing in the Hebrides and proof that, despite living in Glasgow, Los Angeles and now London, the craggy landscape of Mull remains central to his creativity. The story becomes the basis for 'The Ballad of Ivor Punch' - the stand-out track on MHS's album "Dear Satellite". It’s a galloping, glossy piece of indie pop, that recalls Feeder’s fist-pumping, anthemic moments, and instantly destroys the image of MacIntrye as a sullen, folky strummer. After all that time spent locked to a laptop, tapping out the chapters, it sounds like MacIntyre has finally been unshackled and let out to play in the sunshine."

    (Drowned in Sound)

    I feel that he is different enough to be almost very good.

    Like an indie Maxwell Davies.

    This is from one of his sullen, folky, albums -

      Questing, always questing, especially now there is a gap in schedule with the demise of The Shed. Stumbled across Stephen McCauley on Radio Ulster/Radio Foyle.

      Here, for your delectation and comment, or to ignore totally, is his latest show.

          Thanks Global. May I make a suggestion too. Fiona Ritchie was compering an event connected with Perthshire Amber Festival in Dunkeld last weekend and I felt I recognised her name. Then I realised this morning that she's a regular contributor to Cerys' show; she does a show on NPR radio called 'The Thistle and the Shamrock'. Here's an example of her output.

            Good call JC - I used to listen to a few programmes on NPR a while back - maybe time to get back into the habit.

              Coming up on r3 tonight at 7.30
              Live from Leicester, Lopa Kothari presents a concert celebrating Indian classical music.

              Live from Leicester's Peepul Centre in Leicester, Lopa Kothari introduces a recital by sarod virtuoso Soumik Datta, with Roopa Panesar playing sitar and Shahbaz Hussain on tabla. In the interval, Viram Jasani, director of the Asian Music Circuit, recalls those early broadcasts on the Third Programme. Radio 3's 70th season celebrates seven decades of pioneering music and culture since the founding of the Third Programme.

                Only on iPlayer for the next year so no excuse for missing this short programme about Jimmy Scott.
                The story of Jimmy Scott, one of the 20th century's most overlooked vocalists.

                Warning: it's heartbreaking

                  By the way, in case you didn't notice, the Beeb are casting the Boss away this Sunday. Kirsty Young will be seeing Bruce off at the pier.
                  Bruce Springsteen is interviewed by Kirsty Young for Desert Island Discs.

                    Some great suggestions - thank you both.

                    I will start with this one and work back:

                    That is on the assumption that I manage to drag myself beyond 10.20 am and hence into another year.

                    One year older than Ewan MacColl's old man should you be wondering, not that I placed any bets on it.

                    Oh.....and according to Google, this man would have been 16 years ahead of me precisely.

                        Thank you.

                        And speaking of 16 years, it is 16 years to the day since Kirsty MacColl:

                        The late great Kirsty from 2000's 'Tropical Brainstorm'


                        (10 October 1959 – 18 December 2000)
