Transatlantic Sessions - Paul Crockford

[sak4]

A bit off topic but - last night went to Transatlantic Sessions @ Birmingham and Phil Cunningham said that Paul Crockford was there - I guess that is the PC??  Does he manage anyone there

Great music

 

now I see, he manages Danny Thompson

Hi Sak4 - We were at Liverpool Phil on Tuesday and had a great time.  Off to Bury tomorrow to see John, Mike and John Doyle!  Should be fun!

Hi Superval, yes we are seeing these guys too in Cambridge - good musical tastes!
I realise now that John Doyle is the great guitarist with TS houseband

Yes, John Doyle is terrific.  Lots of energy and also a great singing voice.

Funnily enough I said to Mandy it's about time MK played a cameo on TAS!! I would dearly love to hear him play a session. By the way we love it but not keen on too much of the 'slide' guitar to be honest....

We all had a fantastic time last night at The Met in Bury - a really intimate venue and the audience were so enthusiastic!  JJ&M were amazing - such wonderful musicianship and, Knopflerfan, not a slide guitar in sight!    It was great to see Ingrid again too!   

I always enjoy TS immensely, for the great musicianship and also the chance to see 17+ wonderful artists on stage at the same time, but of the two I would probably choose the JJ&M show - it really is as though they have come to play in your own front room!      Can't wait for the next one in Saltaire!

J J and M play an intimate venue near me on Friday but I had a look on YouTube and I just don't get the folky stuff.

You do really have to be there to appreciate it, dusty.   YouTube doesn't do them justice at all.

You're right Superval the atmosphere for 16+ musicians is fantastic

some samples from here



but it is a matter of personal taste, I love the celtic stuff

Looking for that too Lis, I do quit a lot, but it can be more. Need money and time!!!! But if money appears I can quit working, so I have time as well ;-)
