Oh aye, and they're melodic and amusing but the Finnish dudes are possibly madder than Kirriemuir's finest. No wonder the Russians leave them alone.

"His final performance was at the Queen Margaret Union, Glasgow, where he sang in a wheelchair with his right arm in a sling."

Well, that's as fitting a final performance as any.

A long time ago in another place I used to drink with a guy was a roadie for the Fall before he got caught smuggling dope. He was the boyfriend of a girl I was at school with who'd turned up round the corner at random.
I'm surprised Mr Smith made it this far. Some machine by all accounts.

An old friend & flatmate has just told me he was at the last gig bax refers to. Apparently "he looked very ill and played half the gig from his dressing room..."

A music / bike / vision spectacular! Some great clips on twitter if you scroll down.
Celtic Connections
@ccfest
On BBC 2 next weekend. (Danny MacAskill did his section really well considering his shattered kneecap. He enlisted Drop and Roll Tour rider Ali Clarkson to appear on a second song with a bike flip. So crowd got lots of stunt cycling plus aerial performers on some other pieces. Crowd loved it.)
http://www.inspiredbicycles.com/ali_clarkson_r6.phpWe stayed over and went to the Barr Brothers last night at much smaller venue St Luke's / Winged Ox.
They were excellent too. Day spent walking around Glasgow in rain - went to concert hall and new art school. Couldn't persuade the others to use bike share scheme!Posted 6 years ago # -
Lots of music, some cycling, large audience.
'Bothy Culture and Beyond.'

Just finished watching it. Very impressive. Kudos (in partcular) to Innes Watson for the diddling/ vocables and Finlay Macdonald for the closing pibroch. I wish I had made it to the concert now!

Innes Watson for the diddling
As an exiled north-easter it gave me goosebumps not just to hear but to be invited to join in what I call mouth music.
Can you hear the ancients calling?

On bbc 4 a trip down synthesiser memory lane last night and on catch up. Vince Clarke still looking good. Depeche Mode were so young. Yer man from The Normal was on a lot, he owned Mute which had various of the acts. Was all plinking along quite nicely until Alison Moyet came on and blew all the wee boys out of the water. Annie Lennox grabbed second place. Then maybe a quite unhinged Dave Ball. Mark Almond would have taken bronze but he was not interviewed.

Anyone else seen Sensational Alex Harvey Band version of Next (Jaques Brel song Au suivant) on TOGWT.?
As a callow youth I saw this repeated on a new year TOGWT compilation that ran late in the night.
Mostly close up on Alex's crooked teeth but also some very weird mannequin type violinists, McKenna twirling his drum stick at the beginning, Zal being quite understatedly creepy in clown face, some sort of echo on Alex's voice right at the end and then McKenna twirls the drum stick and hits the cymbal and the whole thing stops on a sixpence. Just under four minutes that has stayed with me for life. Very particularly Scottish pronunciation of whorehouse too of course.

Just watched both. Alex beats Jaques. Incredible.
Alex's demeanour oddly familiar.
Posted 6 years ago # -
@IWRATS, Thanks for watching. Alex was as the name suggests Sensational. Someone in the comments says it is his second favourite Jaques Brel cover. I knew Zal but after he took the clown fac off and was called Al Cleminson.
If I am doing a wee poetry recital either here in wee red bar cause my boss lets me open for his band or at that poetry brothel in Dublin I sometimes frequent (100per cent poetry, zero per cent brothel) I always start with N-E --X--T. My own feeble attempts at rhyming pale into insignificance with the rhyme gonorrhoea that I forever fear
