RECORD NEWS: 2 - HAPPY |
|
JK features on two new CDs appearing soon by prominent female artists.
Thea Gilmore, who was the singer with The Reel & Soul Association when we were spotted on Top of the Pops 2 a few years ago, has a new album coming out shortly called "Liejacker", on the Fulfill label, distributed by Universal. Co-produced by Thea and her buddy Nigel Stonier, it's set for release at the end of March.
Maddy Prior has a new album out around the same time on Park Records. It's just thirty short years since we were in Steeleye Span together! This is a back to basics kind of effort, with a house band consisting of my son, Benji, and Giles Lewin, formerly of Bellowhead and still currently with The Carnival Band. I'm all over a few tracks, and there is a possibility I might join them live for a London gig later in the year if diaries permit. Anyway, the three of them are doing some gigs in March, and again in October.
AND FINALLY.......
At last! "GOING SPARE", my LP for Free Reed from 1978, is finally coming out on CD at the end of March. It's a selection of my own songs and tunes, including the classic "What Do Doggies Do When They Get Bogies Up Their Nose?" and even more classic "What Do You Do In The Day?" There will be two bonus tracks as well the original contents of the LP - details here when it's fully available. |

RECORD NEWS: 1 - SAD |
|
Two old friends will be disappearing for ever this year when current stocks run out. If you've been thinking about getting either of these one of these days, then act now, as they won't be around for much longer!
"A SHORT HISTORY OF JOHN KIRKPATRICK" - the Topic compilation from LPs made in the 1970s and 1980s, that first came out as a CD in 1994 (TSCD 473) - is being discontinued.
"THREE IN A ROW - THE ENGLISH MELODEON" - the first LP release on my own Squeezer label in 1984, and re-issued on CD in 1998 by Fledg'ling Records (FLED 3018) is also bound for oblivion. |

WEBSITE UPDATES - DISCOGRAPHY SHOCK! |
|
After months of absolutely no news, it will come as a shock to all readers of this website that the discography section has now been brought up to date. Well, up till the end of 2007 at any rate.
Every effort will be made to bring the other sections up to date soon as well, including even the "Gig History", which has never shown any sign of life whatsoever!
The good people of Three Degrees West, who design and maintain the website, have recently tweaked the site so that it works better in all web browsers, and now conforms with the WC3 web coding standards.
If anyone reading this has any idea what that last bit means, please keep it to yourself, and, above all, don't take it as an invitation to enter into a full and frank discussion about websites and their properties. Let's hang onto a little mystery.......
