Is there any speculation as to who will make up John Kirkpatrick's "All Star Band" to perform the "No Roses" album at Shirley Collins' 80th celebration this coming Sunday?

Richard and Simon and DM would be good for starters!  Barry Dransfield also.

I'd put my money on Graeme Taylor, Paul Burgess and Michael Gregory who were all in the JK Band.

Even more gutted now.  I won't even be that far way, but I'll be attending something else.

I wish we could get there to see it - we were at the Southbank for the Easter outside performance from The Mysteries in 2000. Sadly the radio mics did not work well for the actors, but Home Service were majestic and LOUD!!!

Olivia Chaney, Lisa Knapp, JK and the male and female morris dancers were magnificent beyond the call of duty. The QE Hall sound was excellent.

I remember seeing the Albion Band with John Maxwell on "percussion" in 1982 - Trembling Bells provided a similar experience with it's drummer, which I'm not entirely sure was a good substitute for DM's crisp playing on "No Roses"!  Roll Eyes

That said, I cannot praise enough the kindness of the member of staff who helped my disabled wife when we arrived.

It was also a pleasure to meet and talk to Olivia Chaney for a few minutes when we arrived. such a lovely lady.

A pretty special night, I thought. Here's Robin Denselow's Guardian review: http://www.theguardian.com/music/2015/jul/06/all-in-the-downs-review-a-memorable-shirley-collins-celebration
