Hooting Yard (Free subscription) | 24/07/2008

Duncan McFarlane Band
Tale Spin (Free subscription) | 19/07/2008

Their website is here and their MySpace page here . Lots of good full-length tracks on the MySpace page, including a few for downloading. Apparently Nic Jones really likes them; for some of us, that's high praise! Duncan McFarlane also has a solo...

Global Dashboard (Free subscription) | 20/06/2008
At the start of the month, I tried to write a wry and whimsical post about signs of scarcity in Putnam County, a beautiful bit of hill country north of New York City. Well, sometimes you’re trying to do whimsy and you come over as a bit of a dick. Although it wasn’t possible to comment on [...]

completely different - a slideshow of pictures from Bank Holiday Monday morning at Hastings, accompanied by Steeleye Span's “Padstow” because as far as I know, nobody's ever done a song about Hastings.

Seth Lakeman likes the Rescue Rooms, and with good reason. One of his first gigs was at the venue, and its warmth and intimacy have always suited him well. However, times and circumstances change. Three years after his breakthrough nomination at the Mercury Music Prize, and less than two years after his Freedom Fields album cracked the Top Forty, Seth has reached a level of popular success which no...
