:DGood live rendition of Ewan McColl song about Salford by the Pogues. And yes Shane McGowan is still alive believe it or not.

Possible Walk out Song.

I've said the same at some point :lol:

"I met my love in the church st mall

dreamed a dream by the riverside" etc etc

It'd need some work - but I don't hate that idea...as long as Marron reworks the lyrics for us!  :D

PS It's got a banjo!! :xbop:

Every drop of rain has more musical variety than what I just tried to listen to.

Pffft! :rolleyes:

I give up!

Anyone would think that all you wanted to do was argue!  :lol: :lol:

Trying to be serious, there is just something about cp that just goes against the grain in every sense. That first cp monkeys animation clip you posted moons ago just grated immediately with the visuals (it's an insult to the real animals?), and the music just sounds like the needle is stuck, and when you add in the mundane vocal banality I'm left with a desperately urgent need to escape.

Spontaneous Piano/ Sax at Charles D Gaul Airport, never met before and love how she plays the lower notes to compliment the Sax.

Got to see Portishead in Parra Park for Harvest festival a few years back. **** it was good. They insisted that all other acts at the festival be finished before they played, so that there wouldn't be bleed from other stages. Beth Gibbons' voice only interrupted by the occasional train pass-by (:P) was something special. They were even better live than on record.

@Ossified You like Christie Moore's brother, Luka Bloom?

Posted some of his stuff here in the past.

Here's one of both together.

 

Wendy, I don't know if you realise,  but this link (for me anyway!) isn't to just one song. I've clicked on the link I think 3 times now and it starts with a different song each time, and not with both brothers, and continues with several other songs, including other artists if you let it go for long enough.

I wonder, which performance did you intend to link?

And interestingly, to me anyway, the 2nd performance today was Viva la Qinta Bravada about Irishmen fighting in Spain, which in turn prompted me to look up what it's about. You learn something every day.

@wendybr

Love Luka Bloom. Saw him in london i think.

Also saw christy moore, the pogues, kirtsy mccoll, the saw doctors, van morrison and bob dylan, hothouse flowers all at the Fleadh in Finsbury Park 1993.

"A stomach infection put me in the shade
Must have been something in the lemonade
But by the balls of Franco i paid
Had to pawn my bucket and spade
Next year I’ll take the international brigade

...to Majorca"

( I'm trying to find the version  I like better to post. I'd post the sick bed of cuchalain but you'd not listen ed :lol:

 

sorry... Irishmen in Spain set me off)
