Its two fantastic bands cooperating to make something really special. A folk super group if ever there was one. I love Donna Lola because of the story and because it is simply a great song done really well.

All of this album is just great. But Storm to Weather is just an amazing sing along track that is always a joy to hear live.

Bloody Noses EP
by Richard Thompson
supported by 19 fans who also own “Man Of Few Words”
John Drumbo French from Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band worked with Thompson on two albums along with Fred Frith and Henry Kaiser. Those two French, Frith, Kaiser and Thompson albums led me to this. Also, Richard Thompson taught Hugh Cornwell (of The Stranglers) how to play the bass guitar in a band when they were both at the same school (Emil and The Detectives?). With a career spanning 50 years and playing with two of my heroes (French and Cornwell) Thompson has produced a fascinating EP.

Glamour In The Grey

Such a broad range of roots music styles; trad English, modern Scottish, Americana. The first track is fabulous, took me right back to teenage years listening to Fairport. Hope it gets the recognition it deserves
