That's a shame.

I first saw his name on the sleeve notes to more contemporary stuff in the mid eighties like David Sylvian's first solo album and a couple of Talk Talk albums, then traced his work back to John Martyn and Nick Drake.

I feel like I owe him a pint for that.

Yes, he worked with Richard Thompson, as well.

Sadly you've missed your chance to buy him a pint ....

I never took to the Thompsons - maybe it was something to do with Richard's hats - but I still listen to 'Solid Air' and 'Five Leaves Left' fairly regularly.

It's incredible to see the volume and breadth of stuff he contributed to outside of 'folk-rock'. It'd make a pretty eclectic playlist.

Clearly a very talented bloke.

Did you ever get close to having him at one of your 'Goose' gigs?

Who? Danny Thompson or Richard Thompson?!

I don't think we could/could have afforded either of them! We only started the Goose in 2008.

Danny Thompson to the best of my knowledge (understandably given his instrument) only performed with other musicians, usually very well known.

It never occurred to us  to ask about Richard Thompson. I think we just assumed our venues would be  too small, even DHFC.

Danny Thompson, really, but I suppose it could apply to both of them.

Reading through his (partial) discography on Wiki, a couple of names came up that I recognised through the biographies you sometimes post about the artists at 'Goose' gigs.

I kind of hoped he may have turned up unannounced to help out a mate whose regular bass player had double booked. Or he just fancied a couple of pints and a night of folk. Something like that.

Ah, fair enough. Sadly no.

      ✨ Free Hypnotherapy Sessions Available ✨

      By KatThiel · Posted

      Hello my name is Kat and I’m currently training in Solution Focused Clinical Hypnotherapy with CPHT London, and I’m offering free online hypnotherapy sessions as part of my professional training.  This is a safe, modern, and well-researched approach that helps people break free from the negative cycles of anxiety, low mood, and stress, and move toward calm, confidence, and lasting positive change. I’m studying CPHT’s accredited training, led by experienced, practising hypnotherapists, which is widely recognised as the UK's gold standard in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy. Over my training, I’ve already seen great results, and I’m now looking for volunteers who may benefit from support with 🌿 Anxiety and low mood (including stress, sleep issues, or IBS) What’s included: 💫 A full course of free weekly sessions (typically 8–12 weeks) 💫 Insight into how your brain works, and how to work with it 💫 Practical tools to feel calmer, more confident, and in control What’s required: ✔️ Commitment to weekly sessions ✔️ A stable internet connection for online sessions I have an enhanced DBS check and am a student member of the National Council for Hypnotherapy and the Association for Solution Focussed Hypnotherapy. If you’d like to take part or have any questions, please send me a direct message to book an initial consultation. I’d love to hear from you Warmest Kat

      Planning application for BT Street Hub on LL - unnecessary at best.

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      If this is approved BT will probably apply to remove the phone box. These cost far more than they earn and are very vulnerable to vandelism. The old phone boxes are not ideal to become WiFi hubs, and will need the same level of engineering work to convert (they will be connected over copper). And they don't offer the advertising opportunity which pays for the free WiFi.

      They're big and ugly electronic advertising boards. There's a shagged out phone box across the road that could do the same thing!

      does seem to take up a width of the pavement that could be better used (i.e. we have to walk around it)  and I'm not sure we need advertising on the pavements. Perhaps there are benefit's I don't know of.
