April 5, 201511 yr Author Been listening to the new Mark Knopfler album - Tracker, and it's very good, but the stand-out track (for me) is the duet with Ruth Moody (of the Wailin' Jennies, a Canadian based trio of ladies). https://youtu.be/WFad2HC2C Edited April 5, 201511 yr by Ovalteeny
April 26, 201511 yr Author Saw these 3 girls at The Sage on Friday, excellent stuff from Sarah Watkins, Sarah Jaroz and Aoife O'Donovan https://youtu.be/BTDUDRIEifQ
April 27, 201511 yr Author Malcolm, Mr. Hiatt is one of my old time favourites, I have most of what he has recorded and seen him live a couple of time too.I just thought the girls did justice to a very good song and I'm glad that you liked it. Lincoln Town is another very good Hiatt song.My favourite album of John Hiatts is "Little Head" with the fabulous line in the song "Pirate Radio" that goes something like "One star in the sky, so I named it Otis Redding, just like Marvin Gaye searching for his Tammi Terrell". Magic.
April 28, 201511 yr Sting , Jimmy Nail, The Unthanks, The Wilsons, Katherine Tickell and more were at the Sage Friday and Saturday.We needed to take out a mortgage to get a ticket or two but the concert was one of the very very best.People from all around the World were at the venue.The car park was not full and after there were so many people outside taking picturesYou just had to be there.
April 28, 201511 yr Should have said every hotel in Newcastle must have been full.The show was a sell out.
April 28, 201511 yr Author Maggs, I'm very jealous, as we tried to get tickets, in vain for Sting's "The Last Ship", but went along on Friday to see the girls in Hall 2.

July 16, 201510 yr Got a bit of a touch of the Notting Hillbilly's if you get my drift Ovalteeny, as if you stepped into someone just enjoying themselves.
July 17, 201510 yr Author Malcolm, I can see where you're coming from. I saw the Notting Hillbillys when they toured (I think it was at Aylesbury Town Hall !!). Jason Isbell was in The Drive by Truckers, who are worth catching up with, but I love his 2013 album solo "Southeastern", which is more singer/songwriter/americana type of stuff. So I was pleasantly surprised to see this video with the latest incarnation of Lynard Skynard.
