I first heard Nick Waterhouse play this on Loose Ends (BBC R4) a couple of years ago. I fell in love with the feel of this, and the bass work. So solid, so chill.
And what an amazing album cover!

Found my CD copy of Martin Carthy & Dave Swarbrick's "Life and Limb". Bought at a gig, #Leicester Spread Eagle around 1990/91. I'd forgotten that Swarb signed the inlay. That was the night I gave him a lift home along the M69 after the gig in my rickety Ford Fiesta.

I really want to make it out to as many of the "Up The Duffy's" gigs as I can this year. So, first one tonight. Fantastic night of music provided by Be Cky, Autumn Dawn Leader, Bad Toaster and Heather McDowall. One photo from each act is attached here.

Currently captivated by this album from Edward Givens.
Steampunk Symphony : edwardgivens.bandcamp.com/album/steamp...
I bought it on the strength of hearing his track "White Stag" on the album "Affinity" & also the beautiful album "Snow Globe" which conjures a wintery soundscape without clichés.

Diabetic eye screening test day again. The walk home is always entertaining. Glad it's an overcast day at least, but lights & anything white just GLOW so much. Everything looks a few stops overexposed & surreal. 😎

Debating removing my TV from the living room to create more space for my record deck. TV gets used maybe twice a year, I watch everything on laptop or tablet. Meanwhile record deck has only 2 or 3 inches space above (suboptimal) and is used daily.

A fantastic album which I feel honoured to have played a tiny part in.

Made space for more of my record collection in the living room, so I've brought a few more downstairs from ontop of my wardrobe. Including this, right up there amongst my favourite live albums. #Rush , A Show Of Hands. A band I'm so grateful I got to see live.

This is helping me rediscover my "heavier" side 🤘 If only I still had the hair... 🙄🎧
Glad I got my pre-amp "issue" sorted, this beauty arrived today. Ltd edition splatter vinyl of @finalcoil.bsky.social's magnificent "The World We Inherited". With a hand written "thank you" card, which I really appreciated. Looking forward to the alluded to next project. Now to spin this bad boy!
