OT - Music. Gigs. Sounds bought.

Best definition - anything that you can't dance to. I enjoy listening to music rather than moving to it...perhaps having 3 left feet could be why.

My musical taste has moved from mid 60s to mid 70s rock music / progrock, via punk, reggae, southern US rock to Radiohead etc al, and then sort of back to square one as the various genres of rap largely turned me off music.

But my playlist top 10 acts would be Gong, Neil Young, Radiohead, Pink Floyd, Fairport Convention, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Ten years After, Allman Brothers, Linkin Park, Mountain if it creates a profile!

Fairport Convention are still going strong. They were on in Buxton last month and I met Ashley Hutchings last year. Once described by Bob Dylan as the most important figure in English folk rock. Nice man...mid seventies but still got it.

Indeed they are, saw them only a couple of weeks ago and enjoyed a chat with their bassist Dave Pegg and the current drummer Dave Mattacks, who a lot of people don't realise is one of the the best and most recorded drummers around! He has had a long career as a session musician and has played with the best across a range of genres.

GP's list is scarily close to mine - I see Gary Rossington (Lynyrd Skynyrd and possibly the last original member) died this week.

Recent gigs? Suzanne Vega, Richard Thompson, Nick Mason's Saucer full of Secrets (early Floyd stuff), Keith Hackett and his band doing early Genesis (Foxtrot at Fifty) plus his own solo work, Kast Off Kinks (with the original drummer!!), Show of Hands, hoping to get across to the States to see a farewell gig of the remains of the Grateful dead with a few additions known as Dead and Company.

Don’t think she was ever in Fairport Convention, Gunt...but I agree about the rest, although it’s a long time since my copy of Pentangle’s ‘Basket of Light’ was last unfolded.
