Yeah seen them at a small(ish) festival in Wales and they were excellent. Seen them a few times on the Tellybox too. Really want to get over to Allendale for New Year to see the barrell run which they sing about: http://cdn.theguardian.tv/brightcove/2012/12/20/121220UnthanksTar-16x9.mp4 And so not to hijack the thread totally, here are some Kathryn Tickell videos:

I personally hope they replace the PVC door to the upstairs flat above Silver Cells now that it's a total eyesore. -
What is a pity about them? They have been fully restored too. -

voted too but it's harder to muster up votes when you have to register, people are just too lazy.

Not heard Kathryn Tickell but I really like The Unthanks and their portrayal of the north east/Northumberland

Bedlington Station (A Winter Wonderland)

Get them to drop it off at mine for fire wood please Some quick googling suggests that they mulch the one at Trafalgar Square ever year. That would keep me going a little while. What a waste! -
i don't know but his surname suggests that he would fit right in here!

I really can't complain at the roads. They have been clear in the morning when I have been leaving for work. Estates obviously don't take priority over bus routes but the main roads have not been bad at all.

At the end of the day, if you are happy with your vinyl then that is up to you. You don't have to buy the newer formats if you are happy with your gramophone.......the same people complaining that artists are releasing their back catalogue on newer formats and costing them a fortune are the ones complaining that the youth of today don't know what real music is! You can't have it both ways unfortunately. If artists want their music to appeal to the younger generations and hold some kind of legacy then it would be self inflicted suicide if they didn't do this. It also allows them to continue making money which is essentially what professional musicians and artists need to do to continue making money. I recently bought an album from Bandcamp which had a minimum price of £5 but I offered £20 as I felt it was well worth the money. This was the same facility which Radiohead used to release their In Rainbows album. You walk a fine line between commercialism and elitism which the artists don't have any control over as all of the power is in the hands of the buyer. Coincide this with Panasonic's decision to discontinue the worlds most popular Technics turntable and you have an older generation in turmoil about the internet and modern pop culture being the downfall of music as we know it. All in all, the decisions lie with the people spending the money and vinyl is just too damn expensive for the modern day music listener.

The problem here is the same problem with Blockbuster and HMV. The industry and the aforementioned companies are partly responsible for their own demise. The entire industry is living in the past and the request for physical media has declined drastically since the introduction of online digital formats. Then the release of streaming services such as Last.fm, netflix and spotify have seen the demise of people actually having to leave the house to pay over the odds to rent a DVD, which may or may not work depending on the scratches on the disc, for two The RIAA/MPAA have wasted billions of pounds chasing people in an inevitable losing battle. What is also inevitable is that the real pirates are the least likely people to be caught as they are taking the necessary precautions to avoid it. You're more likely to catch the average Joe Bloggs for downloading the latest Now album from The Pirate Bay than a real pirate. (They're all off in Somalia robbing boats) And to support the fact that the lawyers are the only people getting rich from the whole affair.....anyone remember a certain Andrew Crossley? http://www.pcpro.co....citor-suspended
