Guten Nacht

Good night,and sweet dreams..

Almost May and Brighton Festival

Somewhat warmer today but overcast again,so still not as warm as i would like.

It was my sister-in-laws 65th birthday yesterday.

I was thinking that i might have a few days in Sussex in May,and since GC and myself been emailing each other today then this sounds more likely. May is the annual Brighton Festival, and one of my fave artists , Shirley Collins, is doing a live set - yep at 81 she is still the folk music diva of Sussex.

Think i should play that new CD of hers again. Here is a live version of a couple of tracks from it.

Shirley Collins - May Carol / Southover (Live)

I have some shampoo and conditioner to test,write a review and take a pic of the review for one of my research companies today.

Thursday Music Selection -Modern Classical and Composition

Yep,as usual,sunshine morning and a rainy afternoon. Thankfully,it has been a day of mostly relaxing and listening to some CD's and in particular,this one i found today for a quid.

This is a sampler CD of music from this excellent British modern classical music company with 28 tracks and a catalogue of all their releases.The company is no longer around which is a pity, I first heard of then back in the nineties via the esteemed Wire magazine when they gave Jonathan Harvey's "Bhakti" an abum of the month spot.

So, here are some of these composers the NMC label put out - problem is - none of the tracks pit out are available on You Tube (mostly) so here are other things that they have done.


James Dillon - Nine Rivers: 4. La femme invisible

( More music here )

Enjoy.

Barry Guy

Now that you have heard part of his After The Rain Barry Guy is also an improviser in free jazz -

Maya Homburger/Barry Guy: Five Fizzles (Part 1)

( More improv / jazz here )

Enjoy.
