A couple from Lindisfarne. On the first one, lead vocals are by Ray 'Jacka' Jackson, who composed and performed the mandolin parts of Maggie May. John Peel sat in and mimed, famously, for a TOTP performance. The second is the late, great Alan Hull.

over my morning coffee I suddenly thought "Roger Daltrey"

so if you're reading this Ed these are for you  :54:

Roger Daltrey - say it ain't so Joe
This line-up includes Keith Moon and Jimmy MacCulloch (Wings, Thunderclap Newman, Stone the Crows) covering Murray Head's say it ain't so
I love Daltrey's version of this. Here's Murray Head's original...

On another occasion, at a live gig, a friend (Chris Eccleshall) played the mandolin part. He's a luthier and subsequently made my own mandolin. There's a tutorial for the mandolin part on youtube and it's surprisingly playable, whilst sounding impressive.

I'm a big fan of Burns' songs but not of the piano. However, here's the best version of "Green Grow.." that I know, played on the piano. It's the words that matter, Burns really was a wordsmith.

I was a big fan of Alan Hull, Lindisfarne's main song writer and bought his solo albums. Liked the  band too, and have seen them  a few times.




Loved this Roger Daltrey version of a Leo Sayer song, Giving it all Away.

What year was that Holders?

When i saw them at the Huntingdon Hall, in Worcester, it was the strangest venue i've been to. We were sitting in paneled pews at the side of what used to be a Methodist church.

I really can't say for certain but it was just after Fog on the Tyne and Genesis were just starting out, before they became big. It would have been at a Poly or Uni somewhere south of London. My memory isn't up to any more these days...

I saw that Arthur Lee and Love's 2003 Glastonbury performance was on telly a couple of days ago so have recorded it. I saw them at a very strange venue - Slough Community Centre. It was a Nissen hut, probably long demolished. They had some puny coloured lights but Arthur just came on and said "put all the lights on so you can see us" So the "lightshow" was the fluorescent tubes flickering!

As to church venues, the strangest was the RC church in Feakle (yes, really) in rural west Ireland a few years back. I'd gone to see my favourite fiddler's duo (he comes from the village). He and the guitarist sat in front of the altar with all the candelabras arrayed behind them and all the hundreds of candles lit. That was their lightshow.

Love  In a Broken Dream JC.

In fact, i entitled a short story I've recently written after it: the  main character is returning to his old family home in West Norwood,and visits a pub, he used to go in all those years ago, and remembers when they had a jukebox with that track on it - now it's just piped music.

'Loved that that song by Python Lee jackson, aka Rod Stewart' he muses. 'and was that Jeff Beck on guitar?' though i don't know if that's true or not.
But when i was deciding  on the title for the story to enter a competition, that  flashed into my  mind - great title, i thought

The last time i saw them was at pub in Crystal Palace - one owned by Tartan Breweries, who made Newcastle Brown, so presumably that was why  were in such a small venue. I remember Alan Hull wasn't with them, which annoyed me a bit.

Also the Cambridge Folk Festival, 1981

Also the Crystal Palace  Bowl, Garden Party, with Yes and the Mahavishnu Orchestra, 1971 i think.

We Can Swing Together was always a  great end of their concerts, with the crowd participating, sort of says what they were all about, i suppose such a great  live band, made great records too,

I've heard that Beck played on it, but it could just be an urban myth

Just read a review of a bio the brilliant guitarist and singer/songwriter , Glasgow born,John Martyn.

A Jekyll and Hyde character,  abandoning his first wife Beverley, with whom he made a record, and child, who had to  go on benefits, while he was spending money on drugs, the bio alleges.Also, that he took on  a group of 12 blokes, who'd abused a waiter in an Indian restaurant, headbutting two, and the others backed off.

But  he wrote such tender love  songs, including this one about troubled friend, Nick Drake

Wow I was told, and since always believed, that it was Eric Clapton!?
Now I feel bad as I've told others it was Eric!
