She had a great band with her, G - blew everyone else away - she had such a great presence about her, I thought. I'll definitely be watching 'Later' on Friday and I don't do that often these days.

You're right there JC - she has matured since I last saw her. A commanding performance on that rather dreadful show (although L. Marling was also ok).

Glad you like her TS.

Well worth watching - three crackin' songs, the third in particular a total beaut. Looked brilliant too - Laura marling was pretty good too - also didn't mind the carolinan who sang Put a Drink in My Hand - I could realte to it.

Hey Global, I know you indulge in the odd tweet and although you probably know I thought I should point this particular tweet out to you.

BBC Radio 4 - Tweet of the Day, Cuckoo - Male

David Attenborough introduces the male cuckoo.

Cheers JC - world music most natural. Yes I did know but maybe not all the other visitors did.
Sadly rare in these parts now .

I'm currently musing on how the wren manages to sing so loudly - I mean exactly what kind of Marshall amp is tucked under those feathers??

Probably attached to one of those minirigs, G.

I'm enjoying my stop-start relationship with the local skylarks right now; got to do with the stop-start weather, I assume.

Guy Davis

Since hearing him on Mark Coles a few weeks back, I've been really enjoying listening to bluesman Guy Davis. I notice he's on Paul Jones on Radio 2 this evening.

BBC Radio 2 - The Blues Show with Paul Jones, Guy Davis in session

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01s82v7

Guy Davis is in session, alongside a tribute to the late Alvin Lee.

A very fine guitarist, I think.

By the way, and completely unrelated, Mark E Smith is on Radcliffe and Maconie and has chosen to play the Mothers - 'Absolutely Free - Discorporate' - glorious!

**johncorrigan** · 08-05-13, 14:14

Loudon is on Radcliffe's R2 Folk programme this evening...I reckon that's got the makings of a fun twosome.

BBC Radio 2 - The Folk Show with Mark Radcliffe, Loudon Wainwright III

Oddly, that Never Mind The Buzzcocks on the television was a World Music special:

BBC - 404: Not Found

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/bigscreen/tv/episode/b01p8fgb/Never_Mind_the_Buzzcocks_Series_26_Episode_10

The best of the BBC, with the latest news and sport headlines, weather, TV & radio highlights and much more from across the whole of BBC Online

3 days left...usual formulaic stuff, you may prefer to trim your corns.

Today Jarvis played a one hour cassette that he found at his mum's of a John Peel programme from '77 - good to hear JP churning out the links in his inimitable style. A few nice tunes in there too including this one.

Mark Coles had death in mind on a very fine edition of the Shed this week - #96 it would appear.

The Shed #96 (22.05.2013)

http://www.mixcloud.com/markcolesmusic/the-shed-96-22052013/

From the shed at the bottom of his garden, the award-winning BBC presenter Mark Coles (Today / The Strand) brings you his pick of the best new music releases from around the planet. A fair bit of lamenting loved ones now gone on this week's programme. The New Orleans group Hot 8 Brass Band delivers a life affirming album of songs inspired by dead band members, Patty Griffin sings about her late father, there's Indian classical violin - the sort of music my late father in law would have loved - and an Argentine/Gypsy tango fusion song for my dad too.

Hangin' out on BBC Alba this evening I heard this quite wonderful song about the seal by Julie Fowlis as part of a Gaelic programme about Hebridean wildlife.

I am rather enjoying Elephant Revival.

No doubt hopelessly behind the curve as ever.

Is there a folk curve?
