A pleasant ditty from 50 years ago by Heads, Hands and Feet. I have the studio track on the Island sampler 'El Pea' but this live version from The Beat Club is pretty good

I saw Shade at the Jazz Caffe in Camden about 20 years ago and she was even better live.  There was only about 150 people (capacity) and she came and had a drink at the bar with us after.  A really nice touch.

The Doobs. Quality of this video isn't too good, but I like the intro into this song in this concert.

I have the music DVD of this concert somewhere...

I've always liked the Doobies - mainly their rockier side like the above and this......

Yeah, they went through different phases. A lot of memories with this group.

Now then.......this won't be to everyone's taste but I rather like Cornershop's innovative take on Indian/British Indie style music.

Most folk will remember their catchy hit single Brimful of Asher but this is, perhaps, a bit different.
It's from the excellent album - Handcream for a Generation :

Bagpipe dubstep..

Excellent Mike.
I love the vocals  of Annie Haslam.

Well, H, H & F, The Doobies, Indie, Bagpipes and Renaissance - what a selection. I really liked Renaissance (and various versions and off-shoots) and saw them live a number of times in the 1970s. Annie Haslem's later US based Renaissance isn't quite so good for me I am afraid.

The late Michael Dunsford released a "Renaissance" album in the mid 90s called "The Other Woman" featuring Stephanie Adlington on vocals, here is the title track...

I'm a huge fan of Renaissance, with my most played track being 'Ashes are burning' from the 'Live at Carnegie Hall' double album. Annie Haslam has a great pair of lungs on her

I managed to see Renaissance twice back in the 1980s, at Bournemouth Wintergardens and Poole Arts centre. The other group of that era I would have liked to see was Focus. My main musical interest was and still is Jazz and big bands of the 30's through '50s. I got to see Ellington, Basie, Woody Herman, & the reformed Glen Miller orchestra, George Shearing, Ted Heath, MJQ, Ella Fitzgerald, Acker Bilk, Nat Gonella and some of the "Jazz at the Philharmonic" tours of the late 1950s.
