Alan Hull: Pipedream


The recording of the vinyl is a little scratchy on track one but then it's pretty perfect. Alan Hull's first solo album after the break-up of Lindisfarne. All a bit pedestrian for my taste but someone will love it.










Ace Cannon: That Music City Feeling


Saxomaphone ace, Ace Cannon looks like a darts player  but plays like a dream. He has a very fluid style that works well with his selection of tunes.

The Barrelhouse Six: Banjo Spectacular (Live at the Striped Garter)


Two sides of non stop Banjo band live in a pub. Pour yourself a beer and Sing-A-Long-A-Banjo with the crowd





Johnny Keating's Kombo: Percussive Moods



Pat Dodd and Cyril Ornadel: 'Get Hi"






A Fiona Bentley Production utilising the skills of Pat Dodd and his boys and the Michael Sammes Singers. The album is two continuous sides of merry making that is obviously set-up, but, The music is harmless and will benefit anyone who wants to get their older relatives in the mood. I've added the track-listing below as I couldn't be arsed to write it all out. Enjoy.
