The Summerwine.net music thread

And to follow it's my all time hero/favourite Dave Swarbrick and Chris Leslie battling fiddles.
Be warned, video quality is garbage, but music is excellent.

Appreciate it's a little more alternative, but do you like The Wonder Stuff as many of their songs feature an amazing fiddler?

 
Another blast from the past. I remember listening to them a lot but wouldn't regard them alongside my favourites. I did enjoy watching them though, they definitely put on a show.
Meet Keith, Greg and Carl....... better known as ELP

 
I really like this. I recently saw Carl Palmer in Lexington, Kentucky. He and his band were in top form performing all the ELP classics including my person favourite, Knife Edge. His show incorporates (for about eight or so songs) synchronized video footage with vocals, bass and keyboards from Emerson and Lake . I thought it would be very hokey but was blown away by how well (and respectfully) it was executed. Emerson was actually front and center (and loud) on the final number (Fanfare, as above but from the Albert Hall performance). Carl Palmer cut up quite a bit with the audience between songs and was a drumming beast, especially considering he was (until three days ago) 73. A good time had by all including many youngsters in the audience.
 
"Oh it was a fine and a pleasant day
Out of Yarmouth harbour I was faring"

Liam was the last of the Clancy Brothers to die in 2009 and in what was his last TV appearance he announced that he was terminally ill and he recited this Dylan Thomas poem which was incredibly moving;
And death shall have no dominion.
Dead men naked they shall be one
With the man in the wind and the west moon;
When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone,
They shall have stars at elbow and foot;
Though they go mad they shall be sane,
Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again;
Though lovers be lost love shall not;
And death shall have no dominion.

And death shall have no dominion.
Under the windings of the sea
They lying long shall not die windily;
Twisting on racks when sinews give way,
Strapped to a wheel, yet they shall not break;
Faith in their hands shall snap in two,
And the unicorn evils run them through;
Split all ends up they shan't crack;
And death shall have no dominion.

And death shall have no dominion.
No more may gulls cry at their ears
Or waves break loud on the seashores;
Where blew a flower may a flower no more
Lift its head to the blows of the rain;
Though they be mad and dead as nails,
Heads of the characters hammer through daisies;
Break in the sun till the sun breaks down,
And death shall have no dominion.
