Kristy Merryn's Debut Album She & I on general release Nov 9 2017
Ursula O'Reilly Traynor 's insight:
Grace Darling died on October 20, 1842. The reluctant heroine who helped to rescue survivors from the doomed ship Forfarshire did not meet her early death by drowning but the sea features prominently in this dramatic account of a father's grief. A father incidentally who has been largely forgotten in the historical accounts of his daughter's heroic act, but here given voice to show himself as heart- broken protector of her ghostly presence and that of all the souls lost at sea. He is a man rendered lifeless, yet ceaselessly propelled, forever caught by the spell-binding lure of the ghost-filled sea. This is an arresting introduction to an impressive debut album and Steve Knightley SoH adds his voice to the album track, to great effect. To be reviewed in its entirety closer to the anticipated album launch at Union Chapel on November 9. In the meantime, suffice to say, a mesmerising new voice has arrived to light up the folk roots scene.
Music for this London Life will feature absolutely anything that appeals!
Music that features London ..music that played in London ..that's played in London ..music by those that live in London ..lived in London ..were born here ..visited here ..died here ... and music that has nothing whatsoever to do with London ..it simply makes my London Life happy!
ABOUT THIS EPISODE When it was announced earlier this year Laura Marling would be playing at the Forum Theatre in support of her third album "A Creature I Don't Know", the opportunity to juxtapose this much loved english folk singer with the grit and rawness of an iconic Melbourne lane way was something we were suitably excited about.
Home to both a top end spanish restaurant and health centre for the homeless, Hosier lane is arguably Melbourne's most famous lane way. Once adorned with a Bansky rat, this iconic bluestone lane is an ever changing gallery of sophisticated street art. Being hospitable tour guides, we met Laura at the Forum stage door; just a short walk through the lane way to our shoot location.
"With a mind so dark and skin so white" as she proclaims on album track "All My Rage", this dusky voiced ghostly songstress is well known for the lyrical wisdom beyond her years. Since releasing two Mercury Prize nominated albums, her third takes up a independent writing phase, following a more collaborative past. While private and soft-spoken, Laura is jovial, self assured and a real pleasure to meet in person.
As the crew lock in camera angles and complete the usual sound checks, Laura begins to treat us to a medley of two songs from this latest release, in a setting often lyrically fitting. Perched on milk crate with a borrowed acoustic guitar in hand, Laura's poetic brilliance is a pleasure to listen to as she effortlessly performs Don't Ask Me Why and the John Steinbeck inspired Salinas.
There's something altogether pure about the experience. Ignoring the ambient distractions (this time a plane bypass and delivery van beep), Laura holds the Sideshow Alley crew captivated as she gracefully meanders her way through a story of love and loss and calls to the heavens. Seemingly a very angelic moment indeed.

Lyrics: You've done it all, you've broken every code And pulled the rebel to the floor You spoilt the game, no matter what you say For only metal, what a bore!
Blue eyes, blue eyes How come you tell so many lies?
Come up and see me, make me smile Or do what you want, running wild
There's nothing left, all gone and run away Maybe you'll tarry for a while It's just a test, a game for us to play Win or lose, it's hard to smile
Resist, resist It's from yourself, you have to hide, oh
Come up and see me to make me smile, oh Or do what you want, running wild
There ain't no more, you've taken everything From my belief in Mother Earth Can you ignore my faith in everything 'Cause I know what faith is and what it's worth
Away, away And don't say maybe you'll try, oh
To come up and see me to make me smile Or do what you want just running wild
Come up and see me, make me smile Or do what you want, running wild

James Taylor performing his 1971 classic, "You Can Close Your Eyes" with his 20 year old son, Henry, on tour at the Honda Center, Anaheim, in October 2021. The song first appeared on JT's album "Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon".
LYRICS Well, the sun is surely sinkin’ down But the moon is slowly risin’ So this old world must still be spinnin’ ’round Yes, and I still love you
So close your eyes You can close your eyes It’s all right I don’t know no love songs And I can’t sing the blues anymore Yes, but I can sing this song And you can sing this song when I’m gone
It won’t be long before another day We’re gonna have a good time And no one’s gonna take that time away You can stay as long as you like
Only close your eyes You can close your eyes It’s all right Oh, I don’t know no love songs And I can’t sing the blues anymore Sure, but I can sing this song Yes, and you can sing this song when I’m gone
In 1986, Billy Joel released an album titled The Bridge, which was the final album of his to be produced by Phil Ramone. Watch the official music HD video for 'A Matter of Trust', which became a Top 10 track and is also notable for featuring Joel on electric guitar instead of piano.
Lyrics: Some love is just a lie of the heart The cold remains of what began with a passionate start And they may not want it to end But it will it's just a question of when I've lived long enough to have learned The closer you get to the fire the more you get burned But that won't happen to us Because it's always been a matter of trust
I know you're an emotional girl It took a lot for you to not lose your faith in this world I can't offer you proof But you're going to face a moment of truth It's hard when you're always afraid You just recover when another belief is betrayed So break my heart of you must It's a matter of trust

He is a six-time Grammy Award winner, a 23-time Grammy nominee and one of the world's best-selling artists of all time, having sold over 150 million records worldwide.

Hey Jude topped the charts in Britain for two weeks and for 9 weeks in America, where it became The Beatles longest-running No.1 in the US singles chart as well as the single with the longest running time.
The Beatles did not record their promotional film until Hey Jude had been on sale in America for a week. They returned to Twickenham Film Studio, using director Michael Lindsay-Hogg who had worked with them on Paperback Writer and Rain. Earlier still, Lindsay-Hogg had directed episodes of Ready Steady Go! And a few months after the film for Hey Jude he made The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus TV special that featured John and Yoko but wouldn’t be shown until 1996
To help with the filming an audience of around 300 local people, as well as some of the fans that gathered regularly outside Abbey Road Studios were brought in for the song’s finale. Their presence had an unlikely upside for The Beatles in their long-running saga with the Musicians’ Union in that the MU were fooled into believing the band were playing live, when in fact they were miming for the vast majority of the song. Paul, however, sang live throughout the song.
The video was first broadcast on David Frost’s Frost On Sunday show, four days after it was filmed. At that point transmission was in black and white although the promo was originally shot in colour. It was first aired in America a month later on 6 October 1968, on The Smotheres Brothers Comedy Hour.
"Wherever I Go" was featured on Mark's eighth solo studio album Tracker, released in 2015. Remember to subscribe to stay up to date with all new releases on Mark Knopfler's channel here: https://bit.ly/33xNtJh
#folk #thewhitehorseguitarclub #music Our interpretation of Arlo Guthrie's "Darkest Hour" - In times of darkness, finding light can seem like an insurmountable challenge. Yet, amidst personal struggles, societal upheavals, war, and injustice, the power of community and compassion shines brightest, and we need to try, in any small way we can, to keep that alive in our hearts. For anyone who needs some healing here’s our version of Arlo Guthrie’s Darkest Hour.
“….From 1987's Pinker & Prouder Than Previous which Nick Lowe debut performed live at The Mean Fiddler Harlesden in 1987 with his classic line-up mainstay Bobby Irwin RIP on drums Paul Riley Bassman on Bass, and on these tracks Dave Edmunds who wasn't there at the gig. A Gem.”
One of my favourite Bob Dylan songs is Ain't Talkin' from the album Modern Times. The song always evoked thoughts of my favourite westerns, so as a personal editing project during lockdown, I combined them both and the result is a music video tribute to the western via Bob Dylan.

When you love someone - you'll do anything You'll do all the crazy things that you can't explain You'll shoot the moon - put out the sun When you love someone
You'll deny the truth - believe a lie There'll be times when you'll believe you can really fly But your lonely nights - have just begun When you love someone
When you love someone - you'll feel it deep inside And nothin else can ever change your mind When you want someone - when you need someone When you love someone…
When you love someone - you'll sacrifice You'd give it everything you got and you won't think twice You'd risk it all - no matter what may come When you love someone You'll shoot the moon - put out the sun When you love someone
