Missed this Solid Air moment in the American bar in March but going to the Mandela Hall birthday event. Big John Martyn fan and Ken Haddock fan,, No one could do this tribute but Ken Haddock. If I'm in Bangor I have to hear Ken in Jenny Watts. He is an amazing musician and Im so lucky to hear. So to hear him and the band do this tribute to John Martyn, can't wait
Time passes, great voices like these leave us. These recordings remain to enrich our lives with the craft of their voices. Long may we be able to listen. Thank you lads for sharing your gift.
Was great until the guitar solo. Totally ruined the whole tune. Knowing modes and scales is great but God gave us ears too... to use them so we could tell when something doesn't sound right. That was just musical masturbation. What a shame. Grapelli deserved better accompaniment.
I had the great chance to learn guitare with a wonderful french teacher, called François Sauzet who played with Stéphane Grappelli. Mister Sauzet passed away this year of 2024. But one of my best friend, Loïc is his grand child. Peace to all thèse wonderful human beings. And Peace on Hearth. Love from France 🙏☮️🕊️🌻🎸
When first to this country a stranger I came, I placed my affections on a maid that was young, She being young and tender, her waist was small and slender, Kind Nature had formed her for my overthrow. On the banks of the Bann, where I first beheld her, She appeared like fair Juno or a Grecian queen, Her eyes shone like diamonds, her hair softly twining, Her cheeks were like roses or blood drips in snow. 'Twas her cruel parents that first caused our variance, All because I was poor of a low degree, But I'll do my endeavour to gain my love's favour, Although she is come from a rich family. My name is Delaney, a name that won't shame me, And if I had saved money, I'd have plenty in store, But drinking and courting, night rambling and sporting, Are the cause of my ruin and absence from home. Had I all the money that's in the West Indies, Or had I the gold of the African shore, I would spend it on pearls and on you my brown girl, For there's no other love on this earth I adore. Now since I have gained her I'm contented for life, I'll put rings on her fingers and gold in her ear. We'll live on the banks of the lovely Bann river, And in all sorts of splendour I'll style her my dear.
I had the great privilege of watching Gerry on a nearly weekly basis, in the early 80s at the Loch Ness Monster Pub in Pasadena, California. He played with a group known as Train to Sligo: Tom Moore, Janie Cribbs, Judy Gammeril, Paulette Gershon, and Gerry, whose solo on The Mighty Turk was a wonder to behold. Lovely people all. Not to mention, a hell of a band.
I have no words. this is awesome. I am asking for more music that catches my ears and reaches my musical soul, thank you very much. wish you all the best
Breathtaking performance by one of the greatest vocal groups ever, and yet ...and yet...you hear the voices of morons in the back ground who can't recognise greatness and simply CAN NOT shut up.
