Last nights first Oto set. Forgot how much I love Carlos Giffoni!
That nuts... quite pleased to see there be an under cover reporter on site... top post ;-)
Have very fine collection of Sir Richard Bishops... in person must tell U the tale of when I tried to find his gig in Utrecht... didn't... nearest I got was passing Richard on escalator at AMS central station: he went down (with cased guitar) as I went up... no music, but still a memory of note ;-)
Heading out soon to Tarragona and Guitarraco - come out if you'll be around, or let your friends know if they can be. See you there!

Week one listener... fairly sure I won a CD in some odd completion in the first few weeks... Andrew Collins show may have been the one... Suggs & Welsh bloke were top over a breakfast coffee... if I remember they were on before U at 10am sharp ;-)

@viennesewaltz.bsky.social - well spotted on the sleeve/text mix-up... was doing there things at one... eating, LPs and preparing for a training course to the Pacific Rim that started at midnight... time difference ;-)
Tudor Lodge – Tudor Lodge (Vertigo, Japan 2007) - Originally issued on Vertigo (UK, 1971) – Posted the wrong text for this last night… Another well known LP… again a lush listen for a Sunday evening…. Nice exact repo from Japan a few years ago… way cheaper than OG…
In Full: youtu.be/AXjp7B4INcc?...
Dave Cousins – Two Weeks Last Summer (A&M, UK 1972) – Last one… as I need to go to work at midnight… beautifully crafted & lyrically brilliant solo LP… Blue Angel… top week ahead one all 😉
In Full: open.spotify.com/album/4VkI4z...
Fresh Maggots – S/T (Amber Soundroom, Germany 2005) - Originally issued on RCA Victor (UK, 1971) – Continuing the gentle folk theme… with a few jaunty upbeat elements & fuzz along the way…
In Full: youtu.be/6q_6sLscUu0?...
Heron – S/T (Dawn, UK 1970) - After the Kingfisher… nice to follow the bird theme with a Heron… quite well know LP… ideal laid back listen for a Sunday evening…
In Full: youtu.be/WrgJdbghwCw?...
Gygafo – Legend of the Kingfisher (Holyground, UK 1990) – On from Bradford we arrive at Wakefield… recorded in 1973, but not released until much later… bit of forgotten gem… top arrangements & musically quite diverse… Waiting For The Rain…

Quite funny you should mention Albion Band... I was sure I had at least one LP, but not so... I've been sorting stuff for boxes... and nothing has turned up so far... I think I need to fix that issue ;-)
Moonkyte – Count Me Out (Metronome, Germany 1971) - Originally issued on Mother (UK, 1971). Bradfords finest…acid folk gem… quite rich both musical & lyrically speaking… Where Will the Grass Grow..? Recommended…
In Full: youtu.be/5tOLEx1R9sE?...
Comus – First Utterance (Dawn, Japan 1975) - Originally issued on Dawn (UK, 1971). Wekk known… from a folk perspective possibly doesn’t get much darker or infectious from a groove perspective as this gem… recommended…
