Glen Hansard signs off the day . . . . THE AULD TRIANGLE (Brendan Beehan)

 But I will sign off the day with this from our wonderful Glen Hansard. He shows here his camaraderie and love of the audience and his desire to never leave . . . . . . We are the poorer for his untimely tragic death 

This is how to end a show! Glen Hansard - gets the band and the audience to close with The Auld Triangle the famous poem by Brendan Beehan. . . . . a force of nature Glen could hold a crowd on his own but here with his band ( and even the roadies!) we will not see the like again and he will be sorely missed

This is a display of Joy! Sheer and true! in these times . . . . . .we need a brother like this

Irish Ballads

Good night you prince among men!

Debussy: Rêverie, L. 68 Alice Sara Ott

This popped up in the algorithms and don’t know why but I am not complaining and the album version was fine but I try to emphasise live performance recording here so hunted for this........

"Reverie" Composer:Claude Debussy, Alice-Sara Ott piano recital

Glen Hansard pays tribute to Shane MacGowan at his funeral back in 2023

Farewell to another brother 

RIP Glen Hansard 💔

This was the emotional moment that the iconic Irish singer performed Fairytale of New York alongside Lisa O'Neill at Shane MacGowan's funeral in December 2023.

It was a performance that gained global attention as fans around the world mourned the death of The Pogues' frontman.

Tributes are flowing in for Falling Slowly singer Hansard, who sadly died in the early hours of this morning after a motorbike crash in Dublin.

He was treated at the scene by emergency services but died a short while later

I loved Country Joe and The Fish and bought the first two albums 

when they came our thanks to an old school pal and loved his live 

appearances and learned the FISH cheer with another old pal 

(drummer par excellence Johnny Marter!) which we sang around 

the village at the top of our lungs. 

Later at art college I watched Quiet Days in Clichy as part of a film 

section of material we looked at and it turned me on to 

Henery Miller 

so I read everything!

Gimme an ‘F’!

Family - A Song For Me (1970 UK,  2004 Japanese remaster and expanded)

again I have mentioned before that Family and Roger were amongst my brother's favourite rock bands and whilst I got it, I didn’t really like them as much as Steve did and we went to see them a couple of times but I gave the following a miss after a while . . . . . I appreciate Chapman’s unique vocal mannerisms but they can grate after a while. Early albums like this amongst his best work . . . . .  

This might well be the best of the early Family recordings. A combination of hard rock (bordering on metal) and wistful folk-rock (it sounds as if Chapman and Whitney were listening to a lot of Incredible String Band), A Song for Me veers toward early progressive rock, but isn't as nakedly indulgent as some early prog-rock recordings (e.g., they didn't try to sound like a jazz band, they wanted to sound like a rock band screwing around with jazz). 

Perhaps their most experimental record, it seems as though the credo in making this disc was that anything went. And on tracks like "Drowned in Wine," it works quite well. Again, Chapman offers more proof of his vocal greatness, and again the record sells large quantities in England and nearly nothing in America.
