According to her website ( www.lindenijland.nl) Linde Nijland is taking part in this, and also doing a "freestage" event beforehand. Quite a leg-up for her - from doing her two-person Sandy tribute show to singing with the band. |

Somebody reported here earlier that Chris While was booked for three numbers, so this thing seems to be heading for multiple "Sandies". Personally, I can't imagine Linde singing over an electric band. |

Well and truly sold out now, as is only right and proper, of course.....still plenty of (rather too many actually, by the looks of it) tickets for the ISBfest the following night...the extended lineup there now includes Mike Heron and Clive Palmer, Richard Thompson, Danny Thompson, Alasdair Roberts, Trembling Bells, Dr Strangely Strange & Robyn Hitchcock.

ISB sans robin williamson is i suppose less of a drawcard, but it's been that way for more than a goodly while, and the reality is - the 2003 ISB 'live at the lowry' is a lively and very entertaining 2 hour DVD, and the bonus interview with mike heron and clive palmer something of a treat...
speaking from afar, i find it extraordinary that a gig now also including richard and danny thompson, and the excellent robyn hitchcock isn't attracting more attention
the ISB songs still sound wonderful, and with fresh voices and new interpretations 'tis a prospect that i am anticipating with glee...
this moment?
yes please...!

This is a conundrum. We booked tickets for Iain's solo concert at the Twickenham Folk Club, which conflicts with the ISB show.
Hmmmmmmm...

I was there and I didn't get it then... The Beatles loved them... I recall McCartney turning up at The Roundhouse with entourage (that bunch of freeloading shysters known as "The Fool" if I recall) to see the String Band in about 1969... I had somehow been inveigled into attending.... More hippies than you could shake a chillum at... Too winsome by half. Best thing about any of that lot was the title for one of Mike Heron's albums: "Smiling Men With Bad Reputations". Now that, friends, is one cool title!
Meanwhile.... to get back to the International Submarine Band for a moment..........

Me neither Jack.
The dilemma is...do I love RT enough to sit through an evening of ISB stuff? Or shall I just wallow in the Saturday show and leave it at that?

I've never met anybody who think the String Band are 'alright'. A few love them. A load loathe them. If you're not fully on board I'd stay away. But I speak as someone who wants to be there, but can't! |

Jack, I saw a reference to the International Submarine Band in Unterberger's book about an hour before you namechecked them, and I can't remember anything about it (trying to watch TV at the same time, not a good idea) The bloody index is useless. Could you enlighten us a bit? Ta!
Loved the reference to the Fool by the way, you're bang on the button there. Why the hell couln't the Beatles have commissioned Bruce Lacey or Viv Stanshall to throw their money away instead?

I will still be in my proverbial cups after the previous evening (so long as we don't get 150 guersts who had sweet fa to do with FC in 1969!!  ) Advice? Wallow deeply on Saturday!! |

Unterberg book? Not the one about The Velvet Underground? |

I'm one of the 'love them' as far as the Incredible String Band go. Still remember seeing them at various festivals and the De Montfort Hall in the late 60s.
I'm going to the concert on the Sunday and I'm really looking forward to it.
Jim is right though - they are an all love or all dislike, they do not attract fence sitters.

That was Gram Parson's first band wasn't it? Very country-flavoured rock as one might expect. |
