Springhouse – From Now to OK (Independent Projects)Well it’s been 14 years since their last record and this one, which will be out later this year on BRUCE LICHER’s Independent Projects label, was definitely worth the wait. It’s still recognizably Springhouse, as singer/guitarist MITCH FRIEDLAND’s voice and unique-sounding acoustic guitar leave the listener with no doubt as to who this is. However,...

Recently, I was introduced to the wonderful singer/songwriter Dave Rovics. If you haven't heard of him imagine the political comment of Billy Bragg mixed with the musical talent of Ralph McTell. In short he is fantastic. If you want more then visit his website, else for more audio fun visit his myspace page or visit his soundclick page. I was pleased to see that he was influenced by that stalwart...

And have you seen the old man Outside the seaman's mission Memory fading with The medal ribbons that he wears Ralph McTell sung about one in the "Streets of London": This seaman's mission in Limehouse had gone to rack and ruin a few years back. It's been refurbished now, and it's a "Character Conversion" with a one bedroom flat for £225,000 . Doesn't that just say it all. See where on the London Daily...

What a fabulous piece of nostalgia. This concert was recorded at one of the worlds finest music venues, The Royal Albert Hall in London, England in 1972. The New Seekers enjoyed huge success in the early 70’s with a string of back to back hits. Need a hint as to who they are? Think Coke [...]

ENGLAND (Ralph McTell) What is it about you, makes me feel this way? When I'm leaving you, when I'm coming home I'm lost for words to say. And I know your faults and failures, And the troubles that you've been through. But it's more about what happens now And what were coming to. And the echo from the green hills Runs through her city streets, And the sun that shines on England Well it lifts

Terry Hiscock said... I think both our albums are now available on cd. I obtained one from Amazon the other day. And talking about Ralph McTell, what a great tour that was. We played to great audiences in some of the country's best venues, supporting one of the nicest guys in the business. It doesn't get much better than that. I've gone all misty-eyed. Enjoy the songs.
