1 Steve Hackett - Out of the Tunnel's Mouth This has everything a guitar player would want from an album plus the vocals aren't bad either. 2 Bella Hardy - Bella Hardy I can hear various influences but Eliza Carthy is the strongest. A very interesting listen as the structure of a few of the tunes are quite unique. 3 Gavin Moore - Tonnata Lovely songs a strong flavour of Irish but not folksy 4 Various...

guitarz.blogspot.com This is the double-neck Shergold Modulator inspired by Mike Rutherford 's custom model. Of course it doesn't have its characteristic splitting/recombining system (if I understand well, Rutherford claimed Shergold 's exclusivity for this innovation, and I don't think that there's been any other builder that made a similar guitar) but it has the typical 12 string guitar neck on...

Well lots has been happening this month, not least of which some serious upset on the day job front which has thrown me into a bit of a spin. Big life changing decisions afoot but hopefully all for the good in the long term. I've been busy on the CD artwork and have managed to complete everything for the 4 page cover. The original front cover design was tweaked a little as it occurred to me that lush...

I fear I’m going through something of a prog phase at the moment, or would that be neo-prog phase? As I mentioned last week out came Steve Hackett’s Please Don’t Touch, unlistened to in decades – I must admit to even working my way through a Yes compilation (full disclosure, I’ve always been a sucker [...]

The Cardiacs, weirdly good, particularly for those of us who still cherish parts of Please Don’t Touch by Steve Hackett. The Cardiacs took progressive, then punk, then blended them and saw what came out. Pronk, so they call it, and who can disagree. They’re still going sort of (albeit stymied a bit by main [...]

Just enjoyed the record shop ramblings of the 112th podcast and at the mention of Transcription Disks, my ears perked up... The father of a school-time love used to work at Nimbus records in Monmouth and had a massive collection of BBC Transcription Service discs stacked under his stairs. Amongst this formidable collection were 'in concerts' for U2, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Steve Hackett and many,...

A friend of mine sent me this link called Artists for Literacy . Basically, its a site that lists songs inspired by a particular books. It's facinating. And terribly fun. Like did you know the novel Frankenstein inspired Bob Dylan to compose 'All Along the Watchtower'? Kate Bush was obviously so impressed with Bronte, she wrote a song called 'Wuthering Heights'. And one of my favorite authors, C.S....

Regular readers will note that I not a fan of those commercially driven Air Guitar championship s which at times appears to cater for X-Factor meets Marcel Marceau types... I may be wrong but I'd say the whole venture has corrupted the innocent past-time of playing with yourself in the privacy of your own bedroom while listening to Mountain playing Nantucket Sleighride live (taken from the album The...
