This remarkable young lady was support act for Rufus Wainwright last night..this was a song she wrote for her older sister. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdVzM6QfNxsYou may have seen her on The Piano, C4…I hadn’t, but found her immediately engaging and her voice stunning. |

I know her from The Piano, but I hadn't realised from that that she has been making music and putting it out there for so long already. |

Really enjoyable new interview with Clive Gregson, which includes some nice references to RT and Fairport Convention. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qgn3ixCv5iI |

Thanks for sharing Mike-Very interesting, true and alarming in general. I don’t stream, but do purchase albums or songs digitally more than I used to. I still buy physical copy as much as possible but the death of the record stores means spending more than a straight up download. As to his points about the way music is recorded together with how we hear and respond to music these days he is spot on. I do think as long as there are people recording on analog, striking the occasional bum note or singing a flat note that the technology will never truly take over but its tough for sure.
I was watching an episode of McDonald & Dodds that had an interesting scene- a challenge between a professor of blues history pitted against a student claiming AI could produce a recording of Robert Johnson. The student played 3 versions, one the real, two AI. The professor only had to hear 10 seconds of each to proclaim which one was real…because AI neglected to include the sound of a train whistle in the distance heard during the real recording. Yes it was cliched, but it made a nice point about imperfections really making things more interesting. Long may it be so

Here's another of Rick's videos which tells a story of what it was like in the olden days, including the making of Steely Dan's Rikki Don't Lose That Number and Aja. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-fEKf3Av3c |

Local (to me) duo Honey and The Bear cover WKWTTG. https://youtu.be/h-ZGDjpIXs4 Has an air of Eddi Reader about it, I think. |

I have very little understanding of why people would cover a song like that. What can you possibly hope to achieve? This is (I think) better https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXOh3_WGNFU |

First saw them play at the Great British Folk Festival at Butlins when thy won the introducing stage. Seen them a few times since and they are indeed very good. I like this cover. |
