Not the Promotor the Agent . He tells me .( I was once on one of his guest lists ! Rock N Roll Or what ! ) Anyway . Another great band in the same mould . Indie Folk and had more members than Waterloo station loo
Bright Eyes. This tune is brilliant . My fav of theirs.

Next up . Joannna Newsom. I have her album Ys It had great reviews in the Folk world . 5 stars 1 10 / 10 . The best thing in folk for years ! great cover ! (that bit was me ) .You get the idea .
I have not come across anyone yet telling me how great Joanna is etc etc .
I need an opinion .
This next song of hers comes with a warning . If you are Not a fan of Shirley Temple or Bjork on a very bad day . Don`t play this one . Seriously !
I warned you .

There is a program doing the rounds at the moment on Sky Arts about Roy Harper . I`ve just watched it . It was bloody brilliant !!! About time the man has been recognised as the genius he is . On the show was , Page , Plant , Johnny Marr , Ian Anderson , Peter (god like )Gabriel ,Nick Mason, Peter Jenner and Joannna Newsom ! I highly reconmmend it . Here is one of my many fav songs of Roy`s. This piece is just Harper magic , the memories of Roy`s when he was growing up and Swords could be found in ponds !

Erm yeh . Just a bit more about above. I bought Vinyl , you may have noticed and I don`t really own a proper Record Player . I have one of those plug in USB jobbies . But to my joy when I got home their was a code for the download , so you get both for the price of one ! Great ! The new album . Well , it`s not folkie or even bluesy as such . But It`s quality . So I guess The Smoke Fairies ar`nt Folkie at the moment . They are on at Glastonbury next week so check them out . And if your in Germany later on this year . Check them out . Jess .

I`m going to go all Sandy Denny and Fairport Convention on your bottom`s this week . I hope I can show you the magic of Sandy and the band that for me invented Folk Rock Fairport .
A good one to start off with.

Well reader I hope you enjoyed that last tune . This next cracker is a Trad folk song that shows how Fairport turned it into an almost Folk Prog song . And Denny as ever at her finest . Hairs standing up at the back of the neck moments . Oh, and Turn it up !

Pothos, that was delightfully captivating. So enchanting. The girls' voices are a joy to listen to. I have an affinity with Brass Band music too as my brother plays cornet in one of the local bands.
Thank you for sharing.
