Radio Free D'ni

A show highlighting just some of the talents of Richard Thompson, guitarist singer and songwriter of unnervingly great skill and seemingly no specific desire for fame.  We covered a bit of his days with Fairport Convention, some of his work with Linda Peters/Thompson, some acoustic and some electric solo guitar work.   Up to 19 connections, not bad for the weekend of Mysterium.

As promised, here’s the link to the schedule for the 2025 MOULa Summerfest as a pdf.  Note that each event has a link, as either video stream or music stream, which will take you to the relevant stream on the day.

A set of live tracks, slightly heavy on the jazz side but with a nice feel and some excellent live performances.  Our thanks to Hugh and Nigel for this one.

A puzzle show for a puzzle-loving audience, subtitled What’s That Sound?  We explained as we went along, and here is the playlist with annotations 🙂

A refreshing change, a New Wave band of impeccble credentials and excellent musicianship.   David Byrne was the mover behind it, and with his individual performance style, became the face of the band, to their occasional chagrain.  We covered the whole of their recording history, and did not ignore all of their big hits.   A big success with our audience too

A stellar show,well,I thought so, and so did our audience who were effusive in their enthusiasm. Ranging from orchestral to rock, the music was all positive and very listenable, and just what was needed on a hot summer’s day.

A show concentrating on the multiple literary references drawn by Hawkwind throughout their career, of which there are more than enough to fill several hours.

I promised I’d link the lyrics of Steven Savitsky’s filk song “The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of” which contains the line about rockets landing on their tailfins.  So here it is.
