| That's really cheered me up, JohnE. I thought that he'd stopped gigging. I've been a fan since 'Fully Qualified' came out - I blame Peel - but never seen him, and thought I'd missed my chance. That he's still doing 'One Time Thing ' is the icing on the cake. Hope he's up my way soon. Was only thinking the other day how much I'd like to see the guy. Glad to know the Half Moon's still on form. I used to see the likes of Harper and Taj Mahal there when I lived down in the smoke. A fine place IMHO. All the best, Mike |

Hi Mike,
Thanks! "Fully Qualified Survivor" was the one that did it for me (the re-master, coupled with "Rainmaker" is superb quality, by the way). I first saw Michael live at The John Peel Show in 1971, then again at the time of "Heartbeat". After that however, I didn't see him until this decade (and have since seen him 24 times). I consider Michael a friend now, and often sell the CDS for him, when he plays in or around London. Check out www.michaelchapman.co.uk
Best wishes, John E |

Cheers, JohnE. I've checked out your link to his website and thence myspace, and now I'm even happier. I lost track of Harper for twenty-five years, and it's been even longer for Michael. Last album I bought was 'Millstone'! Got some catching up to do. Just hope he does a gig in/near Sheff soon. I don't want to see him as much as I want to see Neil right now, but there's very, very little in it - which is really saying something.
All the best, Mike |

Fairport Convention last night. Best I've seen them in a while. Simon got the old electric out and went for it - probably the rockiest they've been since Maartin Allcock left. Highly recommended if you can catch tickets for the last dates of this, their 40th Anniversary Tour.
Support from Tiny Tin Lady also very good - three young girls with, hopefully, a bright future ahead of them. |

just saw this Band/show in Portugal
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=42444907
The Yard dogs road show, this was apparently there first gig outside the states so maybee only the yanks here would know em.
It was a really cool show the music sounded a bit like a mix of tom waits, the doors Dr John and early funkadelic and then there was a burlesque show
how cool |

| Me again! Guess I'm on a roll of good gigs at the moment, but last night's Keller Williams show in London deserves a mention. If you don't know his music, check out the free mp3s on his website. |

Just booked a ticket for the mighty Billy Cobham in May.
Wouldn't mind seeing James Taylor too, but sheeeesh, he's charging £40.
How expensive can it be to tour with nothing but an acoustic guitar, and your agent? |

Roger McGuinn on Friday the 16th.
A full house, in spite of terrible weather. Excellent, and charming. A lot of Byrds material but also a wide range of folk material, from Woody Guthrie to Cab Calloway. Never seen a 7-string guitar before... |

Iggy Pop and the Stooges at 9:30 Club in Washington DC. I got to go after all.
All Iggy fans and anyone with even a little interest in the root of punk rock will not want to miss them. Really, they were incredible, tight, loud, and hard. Straight out of 1969.
NPR did a live webcast of the show still available to hear:

dylan last night!! got there fashionably late though as had band practise first and thought there would be a support on!
He did put on a good show and played some classics like highway 61, all along the watchtower and like a rolling stone. Obviously quite a few off the new album which was good as I think it's a strong one.
he did look very dapper in his white suit and hat. |
