Nick Harper's been around for a few years now, though, hasn't he? I remember my dad (who's a big Roy Harper fan) borrowed one of his albums from the library in the 1990s. He did an in-store performance in the Cardiff Fopp store...can't have been long before that Fopp closed down for good, actually.
 
There was a discussion on this David Cross album on the Progressive Ears forum...

Check out the acoustic guys!!  Nick Harper has a reputation live. And I hear good things wrt my old radio  collaborator Gren Bartley on the folk circuit.

No worries.  Apologies for the quietness over the past weeks.  My mind is in a better zone this week.

Oooh, who's this?

Oh and I've thought of a possible request for next week, except my mind has forgotten who the artists are... I'll get back to you!

All of Van Der Graaf Generator's stuff is of good quality IMHO, save those crap 'Time Vaults' demos.

VdG!

I neglect this album far too much.  I must listen to it more!

Cat's Eyes/Yellow Fever (Running) is excellent though.

Saw Focus over a year ago, they were indeed great. The guitar player is really good.

Julian Barrett is a jazz rock/prog fan, he was in Record Collector with the other one Noel Fielding. Julian was saying how much he still loved old Zappa and Yes albums.
 
As for that three-way gig? The Groundhogs were alright (though McPhee's electric playing has really declined over the years IMHO), Martin Turner's Wishbone Ash were like a tribute band IMHO and Focus were great, save a drum solo.

Hate to say this, but  the last three out of 4 gigs I saw were by Alan Holdsworth - but by three separate line-ups over 16 months. Interesting to observe that Julian Barrett one half of the Mighty Boosh was at two of these! The other was by Metheny & Mehldau, which didn't impress me
