belladonnaleaves Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Good call on Archie Fisher' date=' and the Fisher Family...where he's joined by his sisters for a 1966 album which is mostly traditional, including some North-East songs. My copy is very warped, and the first 3 songs on each side skip, but it still gets played occasionally His Radio Scotland show is often worth hearing (he had Sharron Kraus on fairly recently).I haven't heard that Roy Williamson one...I still get a nervous tic when the Corries are mentioned (over exposure to their naffest stuff when I was a bubbly-nebbed bairn!).[/quote']Well, i didn't know that. I'll have to tune in. I agree on the Corries though. But there's a couple of songs on that solo album i'd still listen to today (if i had a copy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Mulhern Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Worth a look dave...DochasSaturday 14th January Tickets 12 (8 concessions & Regulars)Doors Open: 8.30pmShow Starts: 9.30pmFrom every corner of the Highlands and Islands' date=' Dochas produce one of the freshest and most exciting sounds in the contemporary folk scene and have taken it by storm in the last two years. In 2004 they toured Ireland, Europe and Canada and rounded off the year by deservedly winning the Best Newcomers title at the Scottish Trad Awards. 2005 saw them release their second album An Durna Amhail to great acclaim, chalk up major festival appearances and set off on a hugely successful Tune Up tour with Michael McGoldrick, including a scorching Lemon Tree show during Rootin Aboot.gig details on Lemon Tree websiteThis was a stunning gig! Tasteful, uplifting and had the whole audience silenced - but they could maybe throw a spanner in their folky-works a little and play with their format.... Very talented group of lasses tho....Jenna Reid - Dochas' Award Winning Shetland Fiddler, "Best Up & Coming Artist" at Scotland's Traditional Music Awards 2005 - will be back performing solo at The Tunnels on Wednesday 22nd February with support from Fiona Keenan and Sharon Hassan.www.jennareid.co.ukwww.vocoustics.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

framheim Posted April 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 And bearing in mind the alt.country quote it should be noted that he's recorded with Will Oldham and Jason Molina. I'd love to hear it though (Amalgamated Sons of Rest). Any body heard it/got it?And he supported Bonnie 'Prince' Billy at least at London during his last tour. And if Peep hadn't been rabbiting on shite as usual I'dve heard lots more of his set as well.And hey you can edit stuff:I'd also add that there is a Momus/Anna Laplantine cd called 'Summerisles' which is 'inspired' by the faux folk of the Wicker Man film. The Tailor Of Dunblane and Spin Thread Annie are well worth checking out. http://www.cherryred.co.uk/analogbaroque/artists/momusannelaplantine.htmmissed this post every time i'd read this thread before, i have that amalgamated sons of rest cd. its' only 6 tracks but it's nae bad. worth a listen.
