Green to play Live May 7th, 2011 in London at the Great Folk Jukebox

From Southbank Centre website: 1951 saw a major celebration of English folk music at St Pancras Town Hall in the shape of the Festival of Britain Singing Englishmen concert. In tribute to this much-celebrated concert, Marc Almond, Bishi, Green Gartside, Bella Hardy, Robyn Hitchcock, Lisa Knapp, Oysterband and June Tabor are joined by a house band featuring members of Bellowhead to perform some of the great folk songs from the last 60 years.

I don’t know it this is the right place to post this news, but, apparently, Green will play with the B.E.F. in a show called “Music of Quality and Distinction Live” in London on October 15th. See details at

Anyone going tonight?

Green and Rhodri played two songs tonight. As ever, Green’s voice was beautiful. His interpretation of English folk songs was spare, precise and fragile. But a bit funky, too. Yay. Bishi is new to me, but going to check to her out. I thought that he was excellent.

Bishi is very much a SHE. Forgive.
Rhodri 05.09.11 / 1pm

Just for the record / archives: The two folk songs were “Sweet Lemady” (or Lemeny, or… no-one seems to agree on the spelling) and “Pretty Saro”. Plus a couple of folk dance tunes to round each one off.

Would love to hear Green’s version of Pretty Saro though I doubt he can top Sam Amidon’s interpretation of this old folk tune which he recorded for his All Is Well CD. Would recommend everyone to check out this CD as it is a staggeringly beautiful work.
