Green Gartside sang two songs at The Incredible String Band evening at The Barbican last sunday .... it was an evening of String Band music with Mike Heron and Clive Palmer ( ISB original members ) plus a troupe of friends which included Richard Thompson , Robyn Hitchcock , Alasdair Roberts and er .... Green Gartside of Scritti Polliti . He sang a song called God Dog ... and it was as if as soon as he sang the first note he had made the song his own , just like he had always sang it ... his voice was perfect for the song ... I would never have thought he was an ISB fan ... however he used to go to Martin Carthy gigs in the late 70s .


10 out of 10 for captivating vocals ...


oh yeah .... saw Peter Hammill at the QE Hall on the south bank in the 90s , he put the mic to one side and bellowed at the top of his lungs for one song ... I remember I was sat very near the back of the hall and I felt like I was pinned to the back wall of the theatre .

Because it didn't captivate me. Made me laugh. At it. But I wasn't moved or interested by it.

The ones I mentioned had a capacity to move/excite.

Me at least.

No I could not get that round my head at all, didn't do his credibilty a lot of good. Grat singer though.

HB, Linton Kwesi Johnson would be a good addition to your non-singing list, I would say.


Brendan, not sure about Vedder/Pearl Jam. I guess one man's "captivating" is another man's "insincere angst". If we're gonna go with a singer from that whole scene/era, I'd go with Mark Lanegan.

Don't get me wrong keef, I love the Sundays, have everything they ever did.

Good songs, lovely kind of Englishness washes all over their stuff and she was elfin and cute, what's not to like. But her voice doesn't have power or amazing emotion, it is however perfect for what they do which is to relax and comfort you, hence the slippers.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By jazzer · Posted

      Simply, give us a snap election now as the last 12 months in office honestly have not been great in any sense. Let someone else have a go at turning around UK plc before it's too late. At least the last administration had the inflation and unemployment rates going in the right direction at the END.

      Yes but what's the answer, Jazzer? No government can simply walk in and fix the economy - get the bills down, grow it and reduce debt. There is no silver bullet. The public (and the press) wants everything now, everything cheaper, but with better public services and lower taxes.  In the radio and paper, all you ever hear is pundits, MPs, think tanks and economists saying what won't work, but no one seems to know what will work.  I'm genuinely interested to hear what other views people have on here, and what they think will help, or make things worse.

      While they struggle with economics of UK plc, collectively we all suffer as a result of their ineptitude.

      I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.
