Hi Richard. What a night in Edinburgh with Chuck Prophet and the Cumbia Shoes. If you get the opportunity to see them, take it
Great show, Richard. Chuck Prophet and Gillian Welch/Dave Rawlings tomorrow and Wednesday. Not Americana but seeing Nerina Pallot at a small venue in Galashiels on Sunday. Should be interesting!
Terrific and revealing interview. Pity we couldn’t get the full version (even over 2/3 weeks)
Thanks for playing, Richard. Tomorrow night in Edinburgh.
Agree with your BC assessment 100%, Richard. This album is a terrific return to form and is her best for quite a while. What a voice.
Saw her when she opened for Blue Rose Code in Edinburgh. Terrific.
As well as Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings I also have Chuck Prophet coming up on Tuesday in Edinburgh. Could you play anything from Wake the Dead, please, Richard?
Thanks ever so much for trying, Mark. Am determined to mate it up with Blonde on the Tracks as soon as practicable so will keep an eye out on Bluesky for further information.

Delighted though unsurprised that she was fabulous tonight.
Thanks for a great show, Richard. Extra bonus being my favourite Springsteen song leading off the playlist. Busy week coming up. Seeing Chuck Prophet on Tuesday in Edinburgh (staying overnight) then off to Glasgow to see Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings on Wednesday.
Played his new album on my recent flight to Mauritius (don’t believe I’ve mentioned my trip there before😜). Terrific.
Good incisive rant, Richard. Thanks for playing this from definitely my favourite non UK album of last year (Rob Vincent was my favourite UK one). Also, coincidentally, am seeing Toby Lee shortly.
This is lovely. Great request, Rachel
Nice. Will check this out. By the way, Richard, have loads more holiday photos if you are interested 😀
I did indeed, Mark. Resort was fantastic as was the weather. Only downside is the travel. We flew Edinburgh to Paris (c2 hours) then Paris to Mauritius (c12 hours). Really envy you getting to see Emma Swift tonight. Enjoy. Bob

Hi Mark. Just back from holidays and still no sign of @emmaswiftsings.bsky.social album. If it is on sale at the gig tonight (preferably vinyl but cd if not) could I take you up on your offer and buy one for me? If you succeed be sure to let me know how much I owe you. Bob
Only positive thing about leaving this on Sunday is the upcoming Gillian Welch/Dave Rawlings gig in Glasgow. Could you please play Empty Trainload of Sky, Richard?
Thanks for another great show Richard. Am away for a couple of weeks - not back until Monday 20 October
Thanks for playing, Richard. Really love Ruari Joseph’s lyrical style
Danny Thompson also played a stellar role on Nick Drake’s masterpiece (in my opinion) Five Leafs Left album
Say hi to Annie, Joe and Jamie when/if you see them Richard. She played two house concerts at my place when I was living on the Wirral. On the second gig she named the gig on her listing as Water Tower, Wirral!
