As an aspiring player myself, I'm always on the lookout for new people to 
listen to, get inspired by, learn tunes off, etc. I'm interested in hearing of
new up-and-coming players that I may not have heard of, especially from other
countries. 

Anyone got any favourites they'd like to tell me about ? 

Cheers,

   Whichever, this is mighty good music, in my opinion.

I'll second most of that.  But you must have heard her on a different
station than I did if you had time to wait a day before buying the
album, listen to it, and post.  I heard her do interviews Tuesday 
morning on WERS and noon on WUMB.  From the WERS interview it was
difficult to learn much about her because the interviewer didn't ask
any questions.  On WUMB she revealed quite a bit about her background.
She was born in Arkansas, grew up in Buena Park, CA, in the shaddow
of Knot's Berry Farm and Disneyland, was "submerged" in the Pentacostal
Church by her parents who were grasping for a connection to the 
Arkansas life they had left, grew up singing gospel music there, had
sisters and a brother who wrote and performed their own songs, "wasn't
very good at English, so didn't get very good grades on writing
assignments in highschool", and is very happy with the production
on her album because she "didn't want it to be perfect".  She was
looking for a natural sound, and didn't want the producer to "take
apart the music and put the pieces back together again."  

I almost got a full day of Dement yesterday.  After listening to, and
taping both interviews, I played them back for some friends, who then
decided that we should go to her Boston album release concert at
Johnny D's last night. (Review, anyone?)  But the traffic getting out of 
the early evening outdoor Cheryl Wheeler concert we were at in Newton didn't
allow us enough time to get to Somerville.

Scraps of Paper is mixed; the songs are spectacular, for the most part

As I was out walking one fine summer's day
There I met a man who unto me did say
Won't you come with me and walk along my way
  I said I`d come

Foolish, incredibly foolish (3x)
Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb.

So we walked along together for a while
I gave to him a glance he gave to me a smile
I had visions of us walking down the aisle
  To organ and drum

Foolish, incredibly foolish (3x)
Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb

Then he asked me if I'd stay with him the night
Modestly I said that it would not be right
He didn't say a word(??) he only got me tight
  Grapefruit juice and rum

Foolish, incredibly foolish (3x)
Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb

I woke up next morning, hammers in my head
Found my gallant lover gallantly had fled
Didn't care, too busy wishing I were dead
   Feeling so glum (?)

Foolish, incredibly foolish (3x)
Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb

...(I have vowed)????  next time I meet a boy
I won't ...??? new tactics I`ll employ
Guess I`ll stay awake and maybe I'll enjoy
  All the foolish fun

Foolish, incredibly foolish (3x)
Fun, fun, fun, fun.

Well, I went to see what calls itself Pentangle this weekend, and I have to
second Jon's recommendation.  That is, I recommend avoiding them.  

Jansch is still a fine guitarist and behind all that sound distortion Jacqui
McShee sounds just like she did twenty years ago--if you consider that an
asset, not to develop in twenty years.  They were tight, commercial, more 
than competent, and altogether forgettable.  Actually I left at intermission 
so I wouldn't have to forget so much.  

I would almost characterize them as a band that covers old Pentangle material,
augmented by some "new" "old" songs with identical feeling.  

If it bothers you, they were very electric.

This may explain something that has been worrying me.

I have a Corries CD, with a version of Cyril Tawney's "Grey Funnel Line",
which is called something else, and the words are very slightly
changed.  The attribution is not Tawney, but our old friend Trad.

Happened to Ewan McColl too.  In the credits for the movie The Committments,
his Springhill Mining Disaster is attributed to Trad.

It's vacation time... (Yay! :-} 

My wife and I are going to be travelling in England and Scotland
next month.  We're going to be starting out at the Fairport Convention
festival in Cropredy.  First question:  Can anyone tell us how to get
from there to the Albion Day festival (and I'm not even sure what town
that's in)?  We've got BritRail passes, but coach directions would be
OK, too.  Also, any tips on any B&B's in that area which might have
a room Sunday night (the 16'th)? (yeah, dream on ;-)

After that, we're going up to Edinburgh for a week or so.  Aside from
the Festival itself (which doesn't look like it has much folk-oriented
stuff), are there any folk music or dancing activities (associated with
the Fringe, perhaps) going on around that time (roughly August 17-21).

Then, we hit the Orkneys for a week (roughly August 21-27).  Are there
any folkish things up there at that time?  Does anyone know any good
B&B's there?

Many thanks for all help!

I also asked three music stores here in Austin to special order his CD

One of the best places to get Keelaghan's recordings are at the folk

this fall.  I saw him at Kerrville Folk Festival in May, and he said
his new CD will be available in the US.

Yep, this is off Brian's latest album "Seeds of Time" (tape/CD from Harbourtown
Records in the UK). Brian doesn't write much stuff himself - normally he does
traditional and material from other people in the traditional style. He's also a 
fine guitarist, concertina and melodeon player. 

Also check out Brian's first Harbourtown album "Fools of Fortune" - shorter, but
truly, truly, excellent. There is an earlier album (not Harbourtown Records) 
called "A Persistence of Memory" (I think) kicking about some Manchester record
shops, but I haven't heard this. 

Brian's from Glossop, by the way. About 10 miles east of Manchester centre.
