By the way, if you're stuck for something to listen to while waiting for Verity to strike up the tunes tonight, you could do a lot worse than join David Rodigan for the second of his 'Month of Sundays' programmes on 6 as they continue to celebrate 50 years of Jamaican Independence over there.

It crosses my mind, Paul, that there's not enough songs about switches around these days. Looked nice all that sunshine and beer.Originally posted by Paul Sherratt View PostOff the schedules atm, afaik

Reminded me of me ole fave - Guy goes to the doctor and says, 'Doc, I think I'm a moth!' Doc says, 'Nothin' I can do for you, you'll have to go see the shrink!' Guy says, 'I was on my way there but I saw your light was on!'
Thank you!

Apparently, he was in York earlier this year - http://york.greenparty.org.uk/events/65.
I liked it; reminded me a little of Animals That Swim and a few other creatures.
The Rodigan tip is good too.
Hey, this could be the new Don and Phil! -

Yes, hf, why he didn't go was for a good enough reason - the human rights of mineworkers - but that it was him who didn't go was good enough reason to include the clip with few scruples. Good fun I thought.
There is 'Cathy's Clown' in there somewhere, of that I am sure, but there might well have been in the mega-selling original.
Actually, I was looking for some proper world music from that country and just happened to alight here!

Heard a trail tonight in the car and that home of World Music rollickin' Radio 2 has an Introduction to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan this evening at 10 pm introduced by Nitin Sawhney - I was surprised, I have to say - so much so that I thought I should post it.

nusrat's music was great.
i was listening to r3 waiting for 'world roots' last night, when a man abruptly came on, and casually announced that 'world roots' was being missed out, evidently because another man with voice strain wanted to sing in a foreign language instead!
i had to turn it off. having first sat through susie orbach, with that dreadful philip ? chairing. imv he is a truelly dreadful chair, makes the dimmest comments ever imaginable..... and so rude! (where ever did the beeb find him)?Comment

I thought it was very interesting and really well presented by NS - obviously a big fan. I enjoyed Jeff Buckley's attempt to take requests to do NFAK songs live.Originally posted by handsomefortune View Post nusrat's music was great.
Oh right that's what happened, handsome! I just assumed that they had decided to continue the Evil Theme of 'Words and Music' earlier in the evening and inflict a bit of nastiness on us WR listeners. I mean they only hit us for a half-hour on Friday night which is small beer for us during the all-important Promenading season.Originally posted by handsomefortune View Post

Yes, an enjoyable programme. No words could do justice to Nusrat's voice. It was quite simply glorious. When I first heard Tery Bina (Nothing Without You), I played it repeatedly. I did the same with Tera Bin (nahin lagda dil mera) in all its versions.Originally posted by johncorrigan View Post
Few people have so obviously had music in their DNA as Nusrat. It really came from his soul. It is such a shame that both he and Jeff died so young. There was no time for toe-curling collaborations but they could have given the world very much more.
Regrettably I never saw them live but I did see Rizwaan-Qawwali. They weren't Nusrat but they were still magnificent. In fact, I have lived ever since with unearthly vibrations. Hearing qawwali music live should be on every 'things to do in your lifetime' list!

Really into this again now. Further to my last post, here's Jeff Buckley's fabulous 'Last Goodbye'. It makes a completely different kind of sense when you know the Nusrat influence. Actually, I could imagine Nusrat singing it or at least singing somewhere in it -
Here are two Terrys -
And, yes, I do love the Gaudi dub treatment -

Some good people on this six date tour:

and, if you're thinking of going, a quote from the website:
hmm...The lineup rotates so please see individual venue sites for specific artists at each concertLast edited by Globaltruth; 26-08-12, 08:51.Comment

Yes, there are some good people. I have never seen Tony Allen, Bassekou Kouyate or Baaba Maal live. I don't though relish the idea of Kings Cross.Originally posted by Globaltruth View Post
My World Music 'disappointed not to have seen live yet' list would be quite a long one. Yasmin Levy, Teddy Afro, Cheb Mami and Ana Moura are four that immediately spring to mind. There are many others.Comment
