capitalgull, you can pander to me all you want to mate, what does old Merse know about music anyway, can you give some more information on the local folk band, where they play etc, you see I also love folk and Irish folk music as well. Dave, Seth is very much a nationally recognised folk performer now - I last saw him at the Shepherds Bush Empire in London, and it was full...which I believe is a 2,000-plus crowd. He has a new album out called Poor Man's Heaven - his fourth I believe - and on it is a superb song called Solomon Browne, his tribute to the lifeboatmen who lost their lives in the Penlee Disaster. Thanks but I did read your first post correct? that he was a local artist, silly me did not realize he was now so big, I was hoping to pop into the Jolly Sailor and see him ;D ;D |

Correct - Devon born and bred, and a number of his songs have Devonian tones.

Superb live. especially at festivals. I saw him at glasto and beautiful days. He really knows how to play that violin |

If we are talking about local 'folk' bands with national recognition then the duo Show of Hands must also be in the frame. Wonderful musicians and stunning live if you can catch them - they play regularly at local venues yet also have the ability to fill the Albert Hall. Good friends of Seth's too.

Very, very difficult one.
Probably, Stiff Little Fingers as they without question changed my
life. The Ramones are also very high up on the list.
Mind you, should never close your ears to anything really. Coming from the man who was dancing to Red Light Spells Danger by Billy Ocean at a party the other week!! ......... Dressed up in a boiler suit and a Slipknot mask!! ;D ;D

Hey Ho! Let's Go! The Ramones eh? I was talking to a mate at the weekend who saw them supporting Talking Heads at a club in Union Street, Plymouth. Saw them four times myself - they were the real originators of the punk concept even if the music itself, with hindsight, was not as radical as some of their British counterparts. Great to see plenty of the younger generation in Ramones T shirts these days.

Well, I'd say it has to be either Led Zepp or Pink Floyd. I can't split the two. I love them both, their influence on music in general has been and still is phenomenal
Must also mention U2. Because of Bono's great vocals and so many brilliant songs over the years.
Those are my three greatest.
