Rapt to see Ol’ Shakey “Uncle” Neil Young leading the charge against Trump etc.
To me he’s always seemed genuine

So that’s what happened it! I rambled out of Kennedys of Westland Row one night in the early 90s and there it was gone! The Taj Mahal ended ed up in Finsbury Park!
Hello Christy,
Thankyou for talking about Yorkshire’s people and music. “All encompassing…” that’s brilliant. I guess it’s a big enough place to hold that.
I’m trying to get a song a week under my belt. Taking two every fortnight to the Panther Club. Every person in that small room is a character.
I’ve been walking through the woods here every morning. The place is full of birds. There’s an app on my phone called Merlin. It helps you learn what the birds are by their calls. This morning there was
Wood pigeon, collared dove, wren, sparrow, dunnock, blackbird, chiffchaff… starting to recognise them.
Hi Christy
working again in Aberdream and a colleague said that business today was ‘scuttery’ meaning slovenly or bungling (for our non-Scots listeners) , so i immediately thought of the use of ‘scuttered’ in Ireland i gather meaning blootered (or very drunk for non-Scots listeners).
Is language not just fabulous when it is not anglicised…..like place names have been the world over……just ask the good people of Cluain Meala.
I seem to recall a michael palin inspired Ripping Yarns character saying someone was off ‘fighting to keep China british’……and so it goes.

Dear Christy, thank you very much for sharing the poem. It.s indeed correct.
Last night it was a nice one: excellent musicians, beautiful music and singing, a derwisj dancer…it was in a village nearby. It.s a shame, only 6 rows were occupied in a venue of 400 places ! If a person has been on TV it’s full house!
If you are interested in this music you should look for JAWA (last breath fromAleppo)
Next week Jools Holland, totally different. In Antwerp this time 😉
Nice greetings
Dear Christy I hope you and yours are well.
I recently got hold of an original NME advertising the Fleadh in 1992. It was cracking to be there. All the greats. But for the life of me I don’t remember seeing Tommy Makem tho hes on the list. Do you recall it? What a thing for me not to recall. Maybe I was in the smaller marquee.

rumour has it that you were in the Artist’s Bar with Taj Mahal

Here’s something irrelevant that I hope makes you laugh.
