Re: Your last listen
Know of June Tabor but never delve into her stuff, thanks for the heads up, another must check out is Kate Rushby.
Frank...made me do it.

Re: Your last listen
Kate Rusby has a lovely voice. The only thing I own of hers is Little Lights from 2001 which I haven't played in years, which is a great shame as it's a really good album. I shall play it tonight. Anyone who records a Richard Thompson song is alright in my book.wiicrackpot wrote: ↑Mon Sep 04, 2017 6:27 am Know of June Tabor but never delve into her stuff, thanks for the heads up, another must check out is Kate Rushby.
Re: June Tabor. That anthology released in 1992 is a great introduction to her music, thoroughly recommended.

Beautiful romantic pieces, fine playing and excellent sound quality in 24/96 download. 3 out of 3, ain't bad!

Re: Your last listen
Michael Tippett: Concerto for Double String Orchestra. I listened to it a lot in my youth, along with a fair bit of Shostakovich and Prokofiev, mainly because my father & stepmother didn't like it.

Re: Your last listen
Wiki - the Nightingales enjoyed cult status in the early '80s as darlings of the credible music scene and were championed by John Peel, who said of them - "Their performances will serve to confirm their excellence when we are far enough distanced from the 1980s to look at the period rationally and other, infinitely better known, bands stand revealed as charlatans".
A personal favourite since first hearing 'Well Done Underdog / The Crunch' in 1982.
Lo-fi...but wonderful.
