Excellent - and a coincidence. Cerys live, Kirsty I-Player!

Orhan Pamuk's Private Passions may be worth a listen on Sunday...

I haven't heard this programme yet but I have listened to Martin Carthy on DID and enjoyed it very much. That "Josef Locke" by Norma is a very fine track. How is she now health wise? I understand that she and Eliza were on stage in London in December?Originally posted by Globaltruth View PostComment

They were indeed, dont think there is anything else planned at the moment for those two, but here are some other hidden treasures (including Carthy E & relatives)Originally posted by Lateralthinking1 View Post
and Alan Bearman is a good source, I like just about every artist he represents....
I listened to both Carthy M & Orhan Pamuk. I wished that Martin Carthy had been on Private Passions. However Orhan Pamuk played a track by Dede Efendi - someone you may want to investigate. Then surprise, surprise finished off with....Amy Winehouse and Mark Ronson
Back to Black. Not often heard on PP. I've made a note to read at least one of his books - a better & intriguing guest than some recent previous. [by the way does anyone know which thread PP is discussed on here?]
Martin Carthy's DID flew past. He spends/spent a lot of time listening to music and crying as far as I could tell. Nothing wrong with that.
I was surprised that neither his years of collaboration with Dave Swarbrick, nor his work with Steeleye Span were mentioned.Kirsty seemed more interested in the old Paul Simon Scarborough Fair and the hoary 'Zimmerman the Room man' stories. Ho Hum.
That whole Norma Waterson CD is a fine piece of work, and, he chose a standout track by his daughter too. Too short. An inspired choice.
Can I just point out that recently I have been positive in my reviews of not only Lopa's Wo3, latest Late Junctions but also Cerys on 6, Private Passions & Desert Island Discs. It won't last.Comment

Well I do tend to go into non-critical geeky fanboy when it comes to Mr Wood, so, yes.Originally posted by johncorrigan View Post
I did therefore and, of course, know about it but thanks.
He is also doing a tour, in our neck of the woods in May. I May go.
Unless it is dire and those feet are made of clay after all.
Now I know you like a bit of footer mixed in with your music, so here's a rare fact about young Mr. Wood...

I think your points were reasonable ones Global. However, he would never have been on the programme had it been Roy Plomley and in the case of Sue Lawley he might never have got out alive.Originally posted by Globaltruth View PostThey were indeed, dont think there is anything else planned at the moment for those two, but here are some other hidden treasures (including Carthy E & relatives)

Thanks for the links. Tony Benn was very good live when I saw him and he didn't even have Roy Bailey there. In fact, I have his Greatest Hits CD in my collection and frequently segue it into "All Things To All Men" by the Cinematic Orchestra and Roots Manuva. It's ironic because mainly he isn't - and it sounds great!

World on 3: Live From Celtic Connections
Mary Ann Kennedy is live from Glasgow at one of the world's biggest winter music festivals, with special late-night performances from the Green Room of Glasgow's Royal Concert Hall.
Celtic Connections is held in 20 venues over 18 days with 300 events taking place throughout the whole festival, involving over 2,100 musicians from 26 countries. Scots and Irish Celtic music is at the centre of the festival, but it has always embraced the music of the Celtic cultures of the USA, Canada, France and Spain, together with the closely connected cultures of Scandinavia and Eastern Europe. In recent years the festival has also connected with traditions across Africa and Asia. The concerts range from the most traditional to the most experimental, all brought together in the context of one of the world's liveliest folk cultures, with a never-ending stream of young Scottish musicians who are reinventing their own traditions for their own time.
For the past four years, World On 3 has hosted live late-night sessions from the Festival at Glasgow's Royal Concert Hall. These start late, and finish early, with bands often coming straight from a concert in a main venue to play for World On 3. The line-up is always kept secret until the day of the event.
Presenter/Mary Ann Kennedy Fridays 18th & 25th Jan 11.00 - 01.00Comment

Great to hear Chris Wood's intimate version of Jerusalem and his inspiration for doing it on Radcliffe's new and, dare I say it, improved folk show. Thought Chris' version sounded brilliant away from the big rugby crowd anthemic approach that we're much accustomed to. Look forward to hear more.Originally posted by Globaltruth View Post true enough.

...and great to hear 'Freight Train' by Elizabeth Cotten that was played after Mr Carthy had chosen it for DID - what a track! I really do like the Folk Show being live.Comment

Yes, generally a good show what with Carthy/Hardy & the closing lullaby. I liked the fact Chris Woodhasn't even made the album yet, yet the tour is booked, the launch date announced and yet theyve only just got together. Cool.Originally posted by johncorrigan View PostGreat to hear Chris Wood's intimate version of Jerusalem and his inspiration for doing it on Radcliffe's new and, dare I say it, improved folk show.

Not too keen on the Radcliffe stumbling style although he does know his stuff.
To be honest I'm still not convinced about the Jerusalem track - he did it live on the Joan A tour & thought the same, although I did appreciate his explanation that he was reframing the questions asked. Wish I could recall the Latin tags for 'questions expecting the answer No'. Might have to google it...although doubt anyone else would be interested.Comment

I haven't listened to this programme yet but I have the Billy Bragg version. He claimed that it was a socialist hymn that had been made into something different by the establishment. I wouldn't though trust his judgement now in the way we all did c.1990.Originally posted by Globaltruth View PostLast edited by Guest; 20-01-13, 17:12.Comment

It's cold, it's dull, there is loads of snow; so if you do happen to want to brighten up your day with some surprising English hip-hop folk dance then you could always have a look at

Just had to mention it - Lauren Laverne is playing Desolation Row right now - delightful surprise given the snowfields out there.
