About Thursday night: part two. I chatted with folks in the foyer after the Sam Carter Sings Nic Jones gig, and when I wandered back into the venue, I found these two gentlemen having a catch-up. My heart!

If I may get on my high horse for a second, the word 'legend' gets applied to any old muppet thesedays. These two are the absolute real deal

 Although if I am honest I am listening to mostly Nic Jones this morning after a blast from Uncle Lou and this may seem to be from

The SUBLIME TO THE RIDICULOUS

(or vice versa!)

NIC JONES

Try his 'Introduction to. . . '  from the peerless Topic Records

“I think this selection of tracks represents very well my working repertoire during the years I was a professional performer. In music, I have always liked stories, encapsulated in a rhythmic way. I have enjoyed the visions, true or false, black or white, philosophical or emotional, played to the best on my old guitar… So here are a few of those songs that will take you all around the world and, hopefully, set your own visions alight” – Nic Jones January 2019

Buy it here . . . .you won't regret it! 

The 14th release in Topic’s acclaimed ‘An Introduction To….’ series celebrates the classic English folk singer, fingerstyle guitarist and fiddle player, Nic Jones. Compiled by Nic himself, the album includes sleeve notes by Colin Irwin (fRoots/The Guardian) and two previously unreleased 2013 studio tracks, ‘Now’ and ‘I Only Spoke Portuguese.’ Available now : http://smarturl.it/nicjones

If you thought the Reed was early in 1974 try this from the John Peel Sessions 1976 this is what I am listening to this morning

JOHNNY FLYNN

Various of the performances from the Folk On Foot Live from the Front Room Festival II are slowly being posted on YouTube and here's a favourite of the great Johnny Flynn covering the even greater Nic Jones' 'Ten Thousand Miles'
