MADFISH MUSIC - CHRISTMAS PROMO 2024
My good pal Mark Case has created this promo for recent releases on the splendid Madfish imprint. Heartily recommended. If only I could afford them! :-) I was delighted to have worked with Mark, and Madfish, this year past on the Fairport Convention 12-disc set featured in the promo. I'll be involved in at least three Madfish projects next year (Horslips at the BBC 4CD+DVD, Martin Carthy at the BBC 20CD and a mystery Horslips item later in the year) - and perhaps more. Exciting!

Colin Harper - Indecision/Revisionism (demo)
มุมมอง 1829 หลายเดือนก่อน
I'm fascinated with punk history, not least Ulster punk history. A lot of those involved talk about 'revisionism' - but it seems to me that nobody really knows what this is bar somebody else disagreeing with whatever their memory or perception of things might be. This song is nothing more than a sideways glance at the debate, a gentle bit of satire and nostalgic affection. I'm on nobody's 'side...

I'm fascinated with old punks - and have several good pals among them - and the whole soap opera about Ulster/Belfast punk is especially fun. It is a many-layered thing populated by curious characters - a bit like 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' - in which colourful individuals have various strong/contrary views about who did what when, who profited, who dropped the ball, who was in charge, ...

    I saw them in Washington DC in 1971. I had been a fan since 1969 and felt so fortunate to have seen them live while at the top of their game. As the years went by I caught them individually and the reformed Pentangle. I somehow got backstage at the DC show where I met each member. Amazing band mixing folk n jazz with great solo's .

    I had the privilege of being brought up by my Dad, a jazz/blues/folk fan who spent his whole life fighting to 'Keep Music Live'. So much so, I had the gift of God honour to see, and meet, Pentangle reformed twice. My father was a modest, introspective man until injustice, then he arose. My greatest, most cherished, memory of him was standing on stage introducing the newly reformed Pentangle and just shining, glowing, emanating in the success of sharing the greatest group of musicians ever to have played a (small) venue anywhere, ever. :] Thanks to him, and my mother (classical/opera/big band/folk), I have an encyclopaedic love of music...however, ONLY Pentangle lift me beyond everything, and everyone, else and remind me the beauty that can be created when a group of people work together. Joy to you.
