Love this!
Isn’t just?

The wonderful Karen Matheson. Used know their original recorder player, Marc Duff, quite well when I lived in London. He was studying at Trinity at the time and we used meet up at the same sessions.
Her voice moves me to tears, every time I hear it. Memories of a bothy on the Kyle of Durness, Balnakeil Bay, Cape Wrath…fab.

Speaking of which, here they are with Marc - who’s actually playing a recorder that used to belong to me! They had all their instruments and equipment stolen after a gig, so those of us that could rallied round. Marc was crashing on my sofa one night and was playing it. I hadn’t played recorder seriously for years. I would occasionally stumble through a Handel or Telemann sonata; Marc picked it up, played a couple of tunes then rattled off a Vivaldi concerto, following it up with some Parker and Coltrane. It definitely found a better home!
Wossat? I thort. S’not Welsh.
Then I realised.
Today I am apparently in the mood for
- Carbolic Smokeball Company Remedy - their one released album.

Just because I feel silly today:
There there on the kazoo is Ashley Hutchings, you know.
The video is of the “watery bint” school, but it’s good to hear a hurdy-gurdy.
Moistened bint, if you please. [lobs scimitar]
Oi
I have an enraged Bengal who wants her 18th scimitar back
I will just tell her where your scrape is dere limpet
Annie O’Dell would have loved that! (She worked on the “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds” sequence in Yellow Submarine, but seems always to have been missed out of the credits).
