“The sound was a bit woolly, but good enough for folk-rock.”
hehehehe, love it :D
Ah, TMTCH. One of those bands you just have to catch live. I remember kicking myself at being unable somehow (poor student? no transport or pals?) to see them back in ~1985. I grabbed any chance after that. But they were rare chances I remember. Maybe they didn't come up to Scotland much? Cannae remember the noo. But I was lucky enough to catch them supporting the Oysterband in Cambridge at the CornX in about 97. ...and catching sight of Mr Cutesy again, lol. Yes, a personally significant live band in my history/life. love them live even though I don't know their material half as well as I should. But I still rave about the version of Green Fields of France that they did for a Peel session in about 1984. Awesome. I learnt that song because of them/that. So it might have been 10 years since I've seen them live. But I'm a festival junky, so maybe I caught them somewhere else since then like Larmertree, Guilfest or CFF. yep, I'm still green. (I would love to have been at this one)
Or, wait a moment... GET TO THIS ON FRIDAY... In a similar vain...........the "Raise Your Banners" Festival in Bradford on Friday November 9, with Oysterband, Dick Gaughan, Chumbawamba and Tracey Curtis.......for tickets call 01274 432 000.
That'll be Dick just back fae Australia then. Cool lineup.
I love his version of The Witch of the Westmorland (written I believe by Scotland's own Archie Fisher), and you cannae beat the live version of 'The Scotsman'. He was one of those folk singers in the jovial rotund category, like Hamish Imlach and Danny Kyle. A real talent in the Canadian folk genre.
As for me, I'm off to what is basically a glorified private party this weekend I think... get yer mates on stage... get everyone on stage... :)
