Martin @port perran , in it's defence, it's not really a 8 am Monday morning sort of song. Try it again after one of your Whisky Festival visits

I'll give that a try. Cheers 

RIP Chris Rea, let's have a sunny track to remember him by...


Tim

Some Fairport, including the albums 'Liege & Lief' and 'Full House', along with what is possibly the longest titled track ever.....

'Sir B. McKenzie's Daughter's Lament for the 77th Mounted Lancers Retreat from the Straights of Loch Knombe on the Occasion of the Announcement of her Marriage to the Laird of Kinleakie.'

Liege and Lief was, in my opinion, a masterful piece of work.

In my opinion the greatest and possibly the most under rated guitarist of the late 60s/70s was Rory Gallagher.

Never really in the top notch superstar category but he was a superb musician who simply adored performing on stage.

I saw him three times and on each occasion he was on stage for well over two hours always dressed in his checked shirt, jeans and bumpers.
Mind you those three occasions is nothing compared to Mrs PP who saw him a good 17 or 18 times well before I met her.

Sadly he left us well before his time.


Hope you enjoy this :

I'm so, so sorry, but I've got to ask. What is/are 'bumpers'?

The video was interesting, thank you. The best guitarist I saw was the late Chuck Berry. In Glasgow. Now, Glasgow audiences have a reputation for a certain tendency towards liveliness if not completely happy with a performance. This one absolutely loved Chuck Berry.

Thanks again and all good wishes.

Bumpers John - well favoured footwear of the early 70s along with very well worn Dunlop Green Flash tennis/squash shoes:

Ha-ha yes bumpers, I cannot remember if I wore those.

Anyway, that's two musicians that I am not really familiar with (Messrs Berry/Gallagher). I do remember Chuck Berry on TV (TOTP) doing my "My Ding-a-Ling".

John @Train Waiting , please enlighten us on your musical tastes - but only if you want to.
