Wild mountain thyme - Andy Chung
|
||||
| SLG |
Have you seen Andy Chung play before Nina? I was meant to see him at the Hebrides bar in Edinburgh the other week but couldnae make it. One of my pals went and said he was fantastic. Definitely try and catch him next time. | ||||
| Nina |
No SLG I havenae. But I can imagine him to be good. He is a fantastic singer. I hope I can catch one of his gigs once. Here or in Scotland, he definately needs checking out We had a festival this weekend in the city where I live, and it was a Dutch folk festival, but it was a very weak cup of tea compared to Andy Chung 
Now I am listening to the Cockney Rejects - I am not a fool

Just to make you jealous Nina... I saw Andy Chung at the Hebrides last night. Fantastic music and the banter between the songs was great . Think i might have to become a regular there on the Thursday nights
|
||||
| Nina |
There! You've done it. Damnation, I miss all the fun. I would challenge you in a person to person fight, just to get rid of my frustrations. I'll get my clogs....
Well...i have finally found somebody who will accompany me to the Scotfest tomorrow. I'll have my go 
|
||||
| SLG |
Hey, no need for fighting - especially if clogs are allowed 
Scotfest will have to do you... will there be anyone there we've heard of? |
||||
| Nina |
Well SLG you willnae believe it, but just after I posted this one, the friend who was going to accompany me, cancelled. I will kill him slowly and painfully after I stopped crying  Cause I will not go alone.
No, the pipe bands are all from Belgium, Germany and Holland, as are the highland dancers  There are a few Scottish music acts though... I will miss the whole damn thing
|
||||
| Rinty |
jThe absolutely classic La's first and only album. If you've never heard it - buy it now and play it loud. |
||||
| SLG |
That's terrible news Nina  I hope your friend had a good excuse! I hope killin him will cheer you up a bit
Is this the only event like this throughout the year? You'll just need to get yourself on one of those cheap flights to Scotland and see the real thing!
Fantastic album. I usually skip 'there she goes' - bit bored of it after hearing it so much. The rest of the album's great though. Do you know what ever happened to them? |
||||
| Wolf of Badenoch |
U.K.Subs - Warhead | ||||
| Rinty |
hOf the classsic "there she goes" line up John formed "Cast" Chrissy ended up being Robbi Williams drummer as well as the Lightning Seeds, Lee went a bit mad, the others just drifted out of sight I think. |
||||
| Nina |
Ach... you are too kind SLG, sympathising with me I did not kill him yet, I will though...soon, when he leasts expects it
I've been to the Scotfest though, just returned now. I wanted to go there badly so I went alone. Been in the pissing rain, cold to the bone and seen many many pipebands and a couple of highland dancers, and some second rate bands from Germany and the Netherlands. Furthermore, there were some fake Scottish goodies (made in England ) and a guy selling smelly haggis and rolls. There were also heaps of Dutchmen walking around in fake looking kilts (How do I know they are Dutch, I hear you thinking.... Well, because them guys were tall!!  )
All in all I would say....Yes, definately time to come over again and see the real thing

Re: j
Rinty what type of music is that? Listening to Pretend we're dead. L7
|
||||
| Leathlaobhair |
The Real McKenzie's rendition of The Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond is pretty good so far. | ||||
| Rinty |
hhttp://www.geocities.com/The_Las/Its the best type of music Nina, the good stuff. The LA's paved the way for the stone roses and others. |
||||
| SLG |
Glad you made it to Scotfest Nina, even if the weather was crap. I hope it was worth it . Are there any other Scots events on the calender in the Netherlands?
Ah, forgot about that. Bought their first album, thought it was pretty good. They got a bit crap after that though. |
||||
| Rinty |
yFriends of mine did a couple of tours with them in the late 80's, so I was lucky enough to see them a few times.In the film fever pitch from the Nick Hornby book they use "There She goes" as the main them and it is based around arsenal winning the league in the last minute against Liverpool. The night that happened I was at a LA's gig watching the game backstage with them and their arsenal supporting record company. I had always associated that song with that match, turns out so did the director of the movie, I always wondered if he was at that gig! |
||||
| Nina |
There's plenty SLG, yet I guess they are all more or less the same, if you catch my drift
http://www.thespiritsofscotland.be/Links/beurzen.htm Rinty, I checked their music out. Must say I like some of their songs

Seen The La's at the Mayfair (Garage now) around 1990. Met the guys and got the drummers sticks which was nice. Still have them I think!
Still play that album now and again and there's a few crackers on it. Dont know why Lee Mavers hated the recording as it was pretty raw. He was a bit of a nutter mind. Closest I've seen to that kind of raw 60's beat sound was a band called The Stairs. Quite similar and they had a cracking drummer too. |

 Grooving aboot tae "Disco Inferno"

Lee didnt like it as he was forced to release it when the record company put their foot down. There were better versions of the tracks on that album, including a John Leckie produced version. |

I have just been listening to my good friend Arthur Cormack and Cliar and their recording of Mo Chailinn Dileas Donn( My Brown haired maiden).On the same CD was a recording of Domhnal nan Domhnal(Donald of the Donalds) sung By Mary Ann Kennedy and Cliar. Other favourites are The Glen of Ballachulish sung by Karen Matheson, An Aitearachd Ard sung by Ishbel MacAskill, Mairi MacInnes,Kenna Campbell and on the pipes I have a liking for those three talented MacDonald brothers. On a one off recording called Na h-Eilthirich(The Emigrants) Allan MacDonald makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up by the the playing of his hauntingly beautiful tune. There are many other gifted folk that I like to listen to,too many to mention here.One more that I am listening to at this very moment,Mairi MacInnes singing Fagail Bhornais and my thoughts are far away from this place that I write from.
PS. There is a repeat viewing of Ceol Aig A Chaisteal at 11.35pm on STV tonight,though not as good as the Highland Sessions programme it is still worth listening to again.

Baby, It is Piet Veerman... Literally translated it means Peter Ferryman... Makes sense? Bye the way, he was the singer of the world famous Dutch band the Cats. Far before my time, but my Da loved them

Charlatans - Here Comes The Soul Saver.
Patchy albums but got some cracking individual tunes. |
||||
| SLG |
Good choice Frank. Love the Charlatans. Not sure about the patchy albums comment though. I think the first four are pretty solid. Not too keen on the later ones... although Wonderland was good. | ||||
| frank rizzo |
All about personal taste I guess SLG. Seen them quite a few times, first being at the Garage (Mayfair then) in 1990 and they've always been a crowd pleaser.
Recent single 'Blackened Blue Eyes' is excellent. |
||||
| SLG |
Just seen them the once about 9 or 10 years ago and they were fantastic. Don't think I've heard their new album/single yet... I'll get a hold of a copy soon though. I really though Up at the Lake was pish though, so not been in any hurry this time around. | ||||
