Glad you've joined in but I can't see a piece of music OG.

HARD 

Loved this band when they were around, shame they split.

 

[grumpyhack]

Hard to SOFT.  Roberta Flack, now in her late 70s and still doing the occasional gigs.  Stunning voice.

LIGHT 

This chap was simply magnificent Avalon Stage 2014; superb guitarist.

 

[grumpyhack]

Can you SEE the light?

Another great moment from one of my all-time favourite films.

 

[brandycoke]

Been a while, hope you're all well.

Got super fast fibre optic broadband today, and it sure beats the super slow version that i had previously.

So from see, to c ,to x or ex.

First act i caught this year, and surprisingly very good too.

RAY 

Welcome back bc

CHARLES

 

Another of Grumpy's Gonners but a magical memory for me.  I was on holiday in France in 2,000 with Mrs GH and my daughters. I asked my elder daughter Charlie, who could write the definitive history of blues music without even looking at a reference book, if there was one person she'd still love to see and her instant answer was Ray Charles.

That morning I went down to the bakery to get bread and croissants and saw an advert for the Cognac Blues Passions Festival and who was starring? Ray Charles!

Cognac was 200 kms from where we were staying but it had to be.  So a few days later we were in Cognac and saw a magnificent performance from Ray in a beautiful open air amphitheatre. Still one of my great musical moments.

[brandycoke]

 Cheers oneeye.

Great story about Cognac there GH, never been there ,but sounds very much like my spiritual home 

Link is Eddie, though unfortunately Charles is a grumpy goner.

Died just 37 in 2001 .

 

[oneeye]

Yep, great story there grumps.

From Eddie to SHEERAN 

 

[grumpyhack]

How do you link to Sheeran?  Then I thought about She Ran and realised that as well as running she can MOVE.

This is Richard Thompson with an Irish traditional song that Fairport recorded in 68 and which he still often includes in sets.  Lovely delicate guitar.

 

[brandycoke]

Richard Thompson love in here then 

Only shaky live footage, so the studio version it is.

Tears.

 

[grumpyhack]

Back to my yoof.  Happy days from 1966.  Great garage band.  Simple but so catchy and effective.

And the link is QUESTION

 

[brandycoke]

Life On Mars?..one of the best songs ever written imo.

..cue confectionery links 

[whisty]

Good luck Sunday folks of the WAG thread. 

Space, remember how much I loved this quite simple tune back then, prob 1st electro thing that caught my ear 

 

[oneeye]

Good luck to all.

[brandycoke]

Well done whisty ! :-)

Got mine :-), and i think oneeye is sorted too ;-)

I agree about the mud, maybe still too fresh in the memory for some.

[oneeye]

Yep, all done and dusted with a confirmation email at 0905!! 

Now all we have to do is finally make it to the efestivals meet

Well done whisty and brandycoke; magic stuff

All good here, and even toying with the idea of coming down on a Tuesday to make an early entry. See you in a field in June. Hope Mr G for lucky too.

[grumpyhack]

Failed!  Was visiting a friend in Chichester for the weekend and, despite three computers, never got beyond the holding page.  Drewstrat (Andrew) in our group, who's been our ticket getting champion in recent years, was on holiday in Majorca.  He finally got in, managed to enter all our details only for a message to come up saying tough luck all tickets sold.

So fingers crossed for the resales.

A few of Grumpy's Gonners to sum up my feelings.  CRYING
