Re: How are you today?

Well Rob you might not have to come to Scotland after all, I had a talk yesterday with my daughter about my plans to settle elsewhere in Scotland, and her unexpectedly emotional reaction has given me pause. The option of moving originally came up because I'm having to travel regularly to Oxford now...

Re: How are you today?

Nope,you were right first time,Cromer is in Norfolk,right up on its n...

Re: How are you today?

Unfortunately, this place isn't as active as it used to be, but it's awesome to catch up with people I care. Good luck Alex with your Gameboy Game when its released,and that's good news that you've been able to resume your piano playing. At times I think, in general, that message boards are a bit o...

Well it must be time for Bluesy's annual post, yay! :dance: How the devil are you all?

Re: Marika Hackman

Feels like I completely missed this post. Love what I'm hearing. I'll dive into her world. Yeah, I was unfamiliar with her when this thread was created nine years ago so I'm glad I spotted it before I'd created a new one on Marika. To be honest I only originally checked her out as she's on the same...

Faeland

Faeland are basically a contemporary folk duo working out of Stroud in Gloucestershire. I've still to catch them live but have been enjoying the couple of albums they've released to date. Here's a deceptively simple but beautiful song which I particularly like,called To The Ones I Know and Love. htt...

She is hilarious too though of course, I must just post this clip from 'Letters Live', where she has been a regular performer. :-D
I was trying to remember who Olivia reminded me during that monologue, and then it came to me......Joyce Grenfell !! :D

Re: The Innocence Mission

I must dive deeper in their albums, each one I heard is great! I purchased Glow (an early album) many many years ago and I wasn't keen. Then I found 'sun on the square' in a charity shop and I absolutely love it. I've since bought its follow up,' See You Tomorrow' (the follow up to 'sun on the squa...

The Innocence Mission

I've been playing the album 'Sun On The Square' by The Innocence Mission quite a lot recently,and if I close my eyes then I really can hear Stina's voice here. Both Karen Peres and Stina sound uncannily alike at times and both artists emerged at roughly the same time in the late 1980's,albeit thousa...

Re: Men

Is this one I probably shouldn't watch, Rob? :mrgreen: Yeah,I'd give this one a miss if I were you. :mrgreen: I've liked Olivia Coleman ever since the Broardchurch series and many of my friends have seen Empire of Light and have liked it. I'm not over keen on the cinema though (I don't think I've b...

Re: Video: Stina performing 'Soon after Christmas' live in 1991.

So how do you do a search on Google Images for eg '1991'? I can't get anything better than 'Any time' or 'Past Year' or 'Last Month' etc In the Google search box I just type in 'Stina Nordenstam' + '1991'. The first page just brings up 'all' results but you can modify those results by clicking on '...

Re: Video: Stina performing 'Soon after Christmas' live in 1991.

I think Stina is initially distracted (and perhaps a bit annoyed) by the various sounds of the audience and other artists performing but she's soon totally focused on her performance. Its hard to believe that this video has been on Facebook for three and a half years !! :shock: I only came across a ...
