This is called the Dolecast for... well, for obvious reasons. I am on the downward slope to imminent joblessness, with my last day at Proper Job now pencilled in for the 23rd of June - the day before Glastonbury, rather handily. Actually festivals are something of a feature this Summer, as there's that one, Kelburn, Rockness, Fusion out in Germany, and then Knockengorroch, which I will be driving out to the very second I hit 'post' on this. We're also looking at going out to Musicfest Northwest this year as well, and of course the rather splendid Fence [...]

southern tenant folk union waren vor gar nicht allzu langer zeit in hiesigen landen. damals spielten sie zum teil als vorband für regionale kapellen. ein unding, wenn man bedenkt, was der ursprünglich aus london stammende sechser drauf hat. mittlerweile residiert die truppe in schottland, was man auch ihrem aktuellen werk "the new farming scene" anhört. das am 07. juni auf johnny rock records erscheinende album wird der nachfolger zum selftitled debut und dem "revivals, rituals & union songs" benannten album sein, und wird dabei durchtränkt vom schottischen fieber sein. das kommt nicht von ungefähr. neue bandmitglieder w [...]

We've posted this lot last year and they've got a spankingly good new album out. It's full of clawhammer and fiddle and melancholic bluegrass. Still seems incongruous that they hail from London. They seem to be permanently on tour (have a look at their MySpace ), and are playing the very nice Luminaire in London on 21 June for a Club Ugly night, which sounds like a good time. Howard, sadly, is no closer to being allowed a banjo. Listen: Southern Tenant Folk Union - Never Got the Best of [...]

My wife thoughtfully informed me on Monday (my birthday) that we will never have a banjo in our house, just in case I started to get any ideas to the contrary. Given that I have yet to master the... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit MyWebsite.com for full links, other content, and more! ]]

My first British folk music series I did about a year ago is starting to pay dividends. I recently received the upcoming record from London's Southern Tenant Folk Union whom I wrote about back then. The new record is being release by L.A. label Ugly Nephew . It doesn't stray far from the bluegrass reels and acoustic jams of the stuff I originally posted here . The sound has been upgraded some and on the full length cd the band has a chance to stretch out a [...]
