I have seen a good few great Folk singer / Songeriter performances at the Trades Club over the last few years, a great venue, with a very appreciative audience. Roy Bailey's performance was superb, I have not heard a great deal of his music, maybe listened to a couple of his C.D.'s and a few tunes played on the Mike Harding Radio 2 Folk show on a Wednesday night, but as any review of Roy Bailey will tell you, he is not to be missed. http://www.oakstoneclassics.co.uk/Blog/tabid/671/EntryID/655/Default.aspx http://www.oakstoneclassics.co.uk/Blog/tabid/671/EntryID/655/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.oakstoneclassics.co.uk/Default.aspx?tabid=671&EntryID=655 Wed, 17 May 2006 23:00:00 GMT 1 http://www.oakstoneclassics.co.uk/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=655 Once again another Mike Harding Show on BBC Radio 2 http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/r2music/folk/harding/ WEDNESDAY 19th April Mike chats to record producer Joe Boyd, the man responsible for some of folk music's most historic and valued albums. In a special feature-length interview, Joe tells some of the inside stories from a life working with artists such as Muddy Waters, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Nick Drake and Fairport Convention. He plays some of the classic tracks he produced, including Drake's Way To Blue and Fairport's Who Knows Where the Time Goes?, featuring the vocals of the much-missed Sandy Denny. Plus Mike's usual great selection of the best in folk, roots and acoustic music including news of artists currently on tour and the latest album releases. http://www.oakstoneclassics.co.uk/Blog/tabid/671/EntryID/554/Default.aspx http://www.oakstoneclassics.co.uk/Blog/tabid/671/EntryID/554/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.oakstoneclassics.co.uk/Default.aspx?tabid=671&EntryID=554 Wed, 26 Apr 2006 00:00:00 GMT 0 http://www.oakstoneclassics.co.uk/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=554 Jim's Cafe Music Night, Easter Sunday. A great night was had back at Jim's Cafe last Sunday Night (Easter Sunday), we have had a good time over the last year with the music nights, more or less every fortnight. Lots of thanks to Jim and all the musicians who turned up to play, it was a really good night, it was the first music night of the year back at Jims, and it was well supported, hopefully it will be back now on a monthly basis, details to be posted here when they are confirmed. http://www.oakstoneclassics.co.uk/Blog/tabid/671/EntryID/553/Default.aspx http://www.oakstoneclassics.co.uk/Blog/tabid/671/EntryID/553/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.oakstoneclassics.co.uk/Default.aspx?tabid=671&EntryID=553 Wed, 26 Apr 2006 00:00:00 GMT 0 http://www.oakstoneclassics.co.uk/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=553
