Pendle Hill - Halloween - Samhain
Folk Music By Fusive on Monday, October 31, 2005
Not much to add from the weekend, I was trying to take it easy and shake off a heavy cold, so took it easy, not too many late nights filled with alcohol and music, unfortunately. I know there were a few local music events over the weekend including, Trouble At’ Mill, at Colne Hippodrome. Live music at the Derby’s Colne. Music session at The Bridge in Burnley.

Friday at last, been a short first week blogging, what a great week it’s been, had a chance last night to listen to most of the Mike Harding Radio show from Wednesday night, fantastic, started off with Sixteen Fisherman Raving from Christy Moore’s latest Album “Burning Times” always good to hear any music by Christy, I have got to treat myself to the six cd box set.

Christy Moore
Folk Music By Fusive on Monday, October 24, 2005
I was given the opportunity to see Christy Moore play at the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic last Saturday 22nd Oct, It was a great night out. It was the first time I have seen Christy Moore play live, it was fantastic, only wish I had got the chance to see him play at Cambridge Folk Festival earlier in the year. Christy and Declan spoiled us with over two hours playing lots of my favourite songs.

Mike Harding - BBC Radio 2 - Wednesday 8 pm - Folk Roots & Acoustic Music.
Folk Music By Fusive on Sunday, October 23, 2005
Listen to the latest folk roots music from the U.K. Mike Harding brings a fantastic selection of the latest news, interviews and music each week from the folk world. Listen to the show each week on Wednesday 8 pm BBC radio 2, or listen on the website, show updates each week. Not had chance myself to listen as yet to last nights show as I was out at the Derby's in Colne for the Jam night, it was a little quiet, some goodtunes were played, but not one of the best nights in my opinion, I will hopefully get to listen tonight. Looking forward to hearing Christy Moore playing sixteen fishermen raving. It was a song from the set list he played last Saturday at the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic.

Local Folk Music
Folk Music By Fusive on Monday, October 17, 2005
I have a great interest in all types of folk music especially local folk songs, the ones that tell storys of how life was in times gone by, a lot of lancashire folk songs tell of the hard life that people lived working in the Cotton Mills, if you have any songs, lyrics and chords that you would like to send in to me, especially ones that mention the different Town names I would appreciate it very much, also if there are local folk songs that you are looking for, please contact me and I will try to help.
