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.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      He wasn't great when interviewed on Channel 4 News this evening either, but he may get some respite tomorrow with the breaking Nandy story.

      I was referring more to his performance at PMQs yesterday. It was quite a riot! Almost topped Mastermind

      Agreed, he should not be held accountable over the mess up over release of prisoners. On the other hand he did himself no favours with his gaffes on the BBC Master Mind programme where he passed on five questions. Where he did answer, here are some of his responses.... When asked who succeeded Henry VIII, Lammy incorrectly answered “Henry VII,” When asked which French scientist won Nobel prizes for both physics and chemistry?” Lammy responded with “Antoinette” When asked which fortress was built to defend Paris and later used as a prison, he answered “Versailles". When asked which variety of blue English cheese is often taken with port, he answered "Leicester" If nothing else he was entertaining.

      Why do you think he should be toast? All these problems with the prison service apparently go way back, long before Labour took over.
