Here's a video of a guitar duo called Hermanos Gutierez.
It's a mix of Latin American and European guitar harmony performed by two brothers very much in tune with one another.
It won't, as usual, be to everyone's taste but I think it's pretty darned good.

Just had a very quick listen Martin @port perran , sounds good to me! We are on holiday staying at the former Castle Howard Station (Platform 1). Thanks Chris @crewearpley40 for the reminder of the special due to pass by tomorrow - we may just see it!
Cheers Tim

Being one who is into power chords and riffs, that is just a bit to 'plinky, plunky' to me.
Sorry.

For some reason this has been my ear worm today

Ahhh, Sandy. First heard on "Bumpers" IIRC. Cheers Tim

Two nice relaxing pieces and good luck tomorrow tim. Nice place to stay in a disused railway station listening to these tunes

Yes, definitely on Bumpers.
Sandy Denny had such an amazing voice. Maybe some of her best work was on Fairport's Liege & Lief?

Her anthology 'No more sad refrains' has some stand out tracks

Fairport Convention. A staple of the Island sampler albums I used to buy, cos they were all I could afford. 

As a fathers Day gift my wife and daughter 'kickstarted' my collection of Argo Transacord recordings, so I'm having wonderful time listening to E1 4-4-0 storm its way from Victoria to Chatham in September 1956 ..13 years before I was born on a vinyl record a scant few years younger than me.

I have another 8 or so LPs to savour

This is pure fricken magic

Hi Martin, @port perran , whilst you are working on your critical path analysis to get trains running on Sprey Point to Teignmouth next weekend, here is a little bit of fun from Solstice to listen to...

I love this band and have tickets to see them in September at "The Stables", Milton Keynes. Here is a bonus song from them...

Sorry, but back to Sandy Denny for Tim and George

Cheers. Second one doesn't work though

Thanks Tim.
Like you, I'm really impressed by Solstice, a real discovery, thanks to you.
Enjoy them in MK.
Cheers

Hi Mick @Newportnobby , I only have Sandy singing on "Unhalfbricking" (FC), her solo studio album "Like an Old Fashioned Waltz", on a sampler "Mojo presents Island Folk" (solo, Fotheringay and FC) and on a live album "Gold Dust (1977)" released in 1998. I haven't played it for a long time but the linear notes imply her voice was past its peak due to smoking and a cold. I will post a song from it when I can.

Cheers,

Tim

As promised Mick @Newportnobby , here is a track from "Gold Dust". You may have already heard this but it sounds like she is pushing her voice a bit at times. This was from one of her last live performances in 1977 promoting her last studio album "Rendezvous". The original recording was beset with technical problems and many of the guitar parts were re-recorded by Jerry Donahue who was not part of the backing band at the time and finally released in 1998. "Gold Dust" has since been re-mastered. Sadly, Sandy died in April 1978 following a number of falls complicated by her alcoholism and depression.

"Gold Dust" has its moments but is not a favourite of mine and much I prefer the perfection of "Like an Old Fashioned Waltz".

Cheers,

Tim
