Christy Moore - On The Road - Qobuz 16/44
The Irish folk master’s greatest hits, Christy picked his favourite versions of his finest self-penned numbers and covers from 3 years of gigs, from duo work to full band. Some of the finest songs to come out of Ireland, hilarious numbers, beautiful ballads, committed political numbers, sung by a master singer. And as bonus the great guitar work of Declan Sinnott. This is a great introduction to Christy for those who don’t know his work, and a sheer joy for his fans,
Just when you thought you’ve seen it all.
Now playing…
Sidsel Endresen - So I Write
Sidsel Endresen (Vocal), Nils Petter Molvaer (Trumpet, Flugelhorn, Percussion), Django Bates (Piano) and Jon Christensen (Percussion).
Streaming on Qobuz (44.1/16)… continuing on into the mid-afternoon hour with another album from Sidsel and her talented members of the quartet. Sidsel voice and the music is lovely, another very sweet album!
On vinyl, running the Kandid in…

Kurt Vile Wakin on a Pretty Daze
Bowie Station to Station.
I’ve just enjoyed a fine (if hissy) performance of Chopin’s Prelude no. 15, the Raindrop, played by Murray Perahia on Suzy Klein’s Essential Classics programme on BBC Radio 3 FM. Quite appropriate to hear the Raindrop prelude after the storms last evening (all stereo off and unplugged). Hopefully I’ll get my NAT01 back today, so will be listening to Radio 3 a fair bit more in the coming days.
Very amusing
