Malcolm's Interview renamed themselves God's Little Monkeys when 
they signed with Cooking Vinyl; if my memory is working, the MI album
was released on Topic's label Special Delivery.  Album discography, dates
may not be exact:

   Malcolm's Interview,  BREAKFAST IN BEDLAM  (1987)
   God's Little Monkeys, NEW MAPS OF HELL     (1989)
   God's Little Monkeys, LIP                  (1991)

Notes:  To those who aren't revolted by The Pogues' style, I most highly
recommend NEW MAPS OF HELL, which was one of my two favorite albums in any 
genre from 1990.  It's loud, fast, intense, political, melodic, with
only two acapella numbers to break the energy level.   This was one of 
my two favorite albums, of any genre, from 1990.  Lyrically they 
stretch themselves in interesting ways.  Lead singer Jo Swiss is 
one of the fastest singers I know, and their guitarist is fierce.

LIP was a bit of a comedown; what corresponds to the first side of the 
LP is pretty good, but after an entertaining cover of "Ball of Confusion"
by the Temptations, the rest of the album (side 2 of the LP) falls apart.
Still worthwhile for those first six or so songs, though.
LIP was released in the US on the Alias label, and it's not too hard to 
find in college-town record shops.

-----

Melita, I hope that you will give us a quick rundown on your haul from 
England and Wales after you have a chance to absorb some of it...

The Edinburgh festival proper only has the likes of massed Russian
choirs or Japanese drumming as 'Folk' music. But the fringe events,
which number at least 500 have many 'folk' and my favourite traditional
stuff. Try Chamber's Street Union for the Acoustic Centre or AAL club -
personally I would skip most of the events and go to the ceilidh dances-
where there are 3 'folk' acts every evening including song, harp, whistle,
fiddle, crumshaw, bazouki, pipes, pipes, singer songwriters etc. So thats
at least 3 weeks of 3 acts a night which equals at least 63 things to do/see.
Also there are big concerts of bands like Capercaille/ Boys of the Lough/
Battlefield Band in other venues, and the Clarsach society dos to. Also
the above mentioned club hosts excreable sessions which tourists seem to
love down in the unpleasant vaults of the old canteen, and Danny Kyle
runs singalongs in a small room down there too. Of course you could
skip the festival and the fringe and still hear music in either Sandy Bells
just along from Chambers street or the Tron Bar just along the other way
from Chambers street. Or go to Glasgow instead....

They found a tumour on his spine, evidently, but it was removed.  Supposedly,
he's going to be in chemotherapy, or something like that, for a month now to
make sure it's really gone.  I heard this from Ciaran Tourish when he and
Ciaran Curran were in New York for the Irish Traditional Music Festival in

She's supposed to be interviewed sometime on Saturday afternoom
on Dick Pleasance's show on WGBH, prior to her show at
the Old Vienna Coffeehouse (in Westwood ?), where she's supposed to
be opening act for Tom Rush.  If form follows from her show last night
at Johnny D's, they'll give her a full 60-70 minute set instead of
the opener's 40 minute maximum.  After a brief, semi-serious grumble
as he went on-stage, Roy Bookbinder, who she was nominally opening for
at Johnny D's, was a gentlman about being upstaged by DeMent's fortuitous

The info on the flyer I have says:

		BILLY JACKSON  celtic harp, tin-whistle

        plus a Special Guest, at

		tickets at door $10

	   information tel. (617) 643-8559


I found this out via rumors and some digging (being somewhat isolated
at Pinewoods camp in the last two weeks, and not having time to listen
to the radio). I'm passing it along, because I would have hated to miss

After overdosing on Halcion, as081@cleveland.Freenet.Edu (Steve R. Smith) typed:
>Are there any recordings available by the band that appeared from

There sure are.  The band was the Dillards, who in their original
incarnation recorded three or four excellent bluegrass albums for
Elektra.  Banjoist Doug Dillard left about the same time the band
moved into a more progressive country vein, and they recorded several
more albums with Herb Pederson.  Eventually only Rodney Dillard was
left from the original band.  

While the original Elektra releases are out of print, there is a
compilation on Vanguard called "There Is A Time".  It's heavy on
the early material, with a good sampling from their first album
"Back Porch Bluegrass", which is arguably their best.  (There's
also a release on the Edsel label from the UK called "I'll Fly
Away", which culls material from the Pederson-era band; but that's
not the material you'd be familiar with from the TV show.)

The Dillards reformed a few years ago -- they did a concert tour
as "The Original Dillards", with Doug, then when Doug returned to
his own band the rest of them continued with a different banjoist
whose name escapes me.  In this configuration they recorded a new
album, "Let It Fly" (also on Vanguard), which includes a song
called "The Darlin' Boys" about their Mayberry alter egos.

I have attended for the last couple of years, and while I've heard that
the crowds are getting too big, the event is magnificent.  Pure bliss.
Lots of acoustic musicians everywhere; drum circles, theatrics and the
full spectrum of folk music.  The atmosphere is warm and unassuming.
Clothes are optional, the food is terrific, and the crafts are imaginative.

I'm no longer sure where I heard this one - I think it was done by
Margaret Crystal (from Toronto) at one of the Ann Arbor Ark Benifit
concerts, but the memory is getting spotty ... Anyhoo, the song
"Swinging on his bells" struck me at the time as being one of the
few bawdy songs which wasn't subtly or blatently misogynist (memory
may be wrong on this too.) Anyone out there know this song? Posting
the words or references to recordings and or collections containing
it would be a help.
