Yes - and he was at Kirsty's memorial service too.
Forgot to mention that!

You did well there Gordon. I haven't heard half of them but I love everything by Van the Man.
This is my Van Morrison album N° 31 and I'm not even close to own his complete discography.

The Kinks - You Really Got Me

And there was a time when the cover of "Searching For The Young Soul Rebels" was one of my favourite items of clothing. It therefore pleases me and horrifies me to say "Happy 60th Birthday Kevin Rowland".

"It's too late to stop now" live double CD. Saw it originally on BBC sight and sound.
Best of Them!
That's all folks........
Two weeks ago, a friend walked into a record shop. He bought a CD. It was only the second time in his life that he had bought a record purely on the strength of what was playing in a shop. The first was Scott Walker sings Jacques Brel.
......Pinkunoizu. Danish mainly. Based in Copenhagen and Berlin. I really don't get them yet. But they are not wholly uninteresting.

I love Walker's Brel interpretations. Paranoid & beautiful.
Van Morrison and the Chieftains - Shenandoah

Done that at least twice. Deuce by Rory Gallagher in the early 70s. First time I'd ever heard him. Became a big fan and saw him rocking the balcony at the old Rainbow; and Kenny Wayne Shepherd earlier this year.
Turning poppy - but good honest pop - listening to an hour of Roger Cook songs. A massive song writer in the 60s and 70s.
Gasoline Alley Bred by the Hollies, Melting Pot by Blue Mink and a Fortunes song among others.
Unfortunately though he was also in Pipkins - Gimme dat ding.

Interesting. I bought Ruud Brink and Trio Pim Jacobs. No? Nor me then either.
They were being played in a jazz record shop in Haarlem, Netherlands. We might have been the only people in there that week. The strange but lovely elderly married couple were half an hour on Brink's then recent death and how Jacobs had visited him beforehand in hospital. Could hardly walk out without buying a copy.
Never forget that day. Later went to see Haarlem FC. Small crowd. Bored. Several played their own match in parallel on the touchline while others set light to the seats fifteen feet away from where we were sitting.
Have just had a look at Roger Cook. "Home Lovin' Man" was a song and so too "Something's Gotten Hold Of My Heart". He also collaborated with John Prine and Hugh Cornwell. Blue Mink, of course, had Madeline Bell.
