Slowly working my way through the stack of albums bought at the Cambridge Rock Festival last weekend

 

Winter in Eden - Awakening : Another female-fronted symphonic goth-metal band, except that they're British rather than Finnish or Dutch.

Emerald Sky - Rock and Roll Icon and Shadows of Darkness. All-female metal power trio.

Crimson Sky - Misunderstood. Excellent female-fronted prog band, poor production but great songs.

Watching/listening to 'Talk Talk live at Montreux' on Sky Arts - keep forgetting what a catalogue of really good songs they have. Absolutely excellent live as well.

Just been listening to 'Back Into The Future' by Man while trying to get my head around a Mailcoach Coronation Twin First. The live portion features some great guitar by Micky Jones who, sadly, died earlier this year.

 

I had that on my Ipod recently - good album from the early 70s, showed just how good Man were as a studio band as well as live. "Be Good To Yourself at Least Once A Day" is my personal fave Man album though. Shame about Mickey Jones - I remember Man in concert "all those years ago".

 

OMS: John Martyn(RIP) - "One World"

Status Quo live at Montreux on Sky arts (from 2009) and, surprisingly, very good.

 

Why the surprise? :D

 

Quo are a fantastic live band! Well, they have been on the 31 occasions I've seen them anyway...

Indeed, and my wife can vouch that Mr Rossi is a nice guy, as she looked after his kids at pre-school.

 

Currently I'm sitting typing on RM Web and listening to Weekend Wogan on Radio 2!

 

Been checking out a number of obscure guitarists on YouTube, and also revisiting the new Hot Club Of Cow Town album Wishful Thinking

On the way to work it was Steel Panther - Feel The Steel,

On the way home, Five Finger Death Punch - The Way Of The Fist,

As I Type this, Iron Maiden - The Final Frontier.

 

The Irons totally ruled Sonisphere, a much better closing of a festival than the frankly dissapointing Aerosmith at Download.

Due to a rather unexpected trip to A & E and now recouperation at home I am working through my collection. However fave at the moment is the new 'Slash' album (cannot remember the name and its in my player in the workshop). A great selection of styles and guest singers and of course the guitar playing is stunning.
