crazy sun junctions

Back after a hiatus...I guess the sunshine has meant less time for crouching over my laptop listening to music and surfing. I went to a fantastic gig at the Leith Folk Club last week with The Tanahill Weavers. What a barnstormer of a set, the band were on top form with intricate arrangements and hypnotic rhythms. I have loved listening to them for years but never was able to see them live. The Leith Club is a friendly place with different acts on every Tuesday. I didn't win the raffle but hey..seeing the band was good enough for me!

I LOVE the Bosses new album and have it on LOUD when I am driving about, my favourite track of the moment is "Mary don't you weep". It's not often I join in at the top of my voice whilst negotiating roundabouts and T junctions, but this album is irresistible.

I have been listening to more folky things of late and here is an oldie but yes indeed one that you should give a listen to again. This band are still going in various guises and although i was too young..yes indeed..to be into them in their heyday, I think this is quintessential of their style.

Having another great day in the garden. Lots of wine, prawns on the barbeque and now indoors awaiting CSI the back of 9.00pm. Tomorrow is the Plant Show/Fair at the Botanic Gardens and a few bargains will be grabbed. Let's hope this fab weather holds out.....

I am off to see the Tannahill Weavers soon when they appear in a wee pub in Leith..one of my all time outfits so will give a report on the gig. Meanwhile here is a track by a hero who burned out too soon.
