I recently offered up Free Born Man Of The Travelling People by his good self and the Clancy siblings on the Song Game Thread MM.

They soundtracked my younger days when a family visit was going on, drink had been taken and a yearning for the 'auld sod' kicked in.

Bob Dylan paid attention, did he not?

Females:

Patrice Rushen: A very talented songstress who was also a jazz pianist

Minnie Riperton: Can anyone else reach those high notes?

Alicia Keys : Beautiful girl with a beautiful voice


Males:


Frank Sinatra: I can understand every word he sings. Not an easy trick to pull off for any singer.

Frankie Beverley (lead singer of Maze): Great singer. He could sing a shopping list and make it sound soulful

Maurice White and Phillip Bailey( Earth Wind and fire.) Perfect harmonies and they complemented each other beautifully


A special mention for James Taylor as well. His voice always brings a tear to my eye or a smile to my face, depending on what he's singing

I can picture the scene HB. Yes I read makems obituary and apparently bob dylan was a fan. I posted a you tube link to makem and clanceys the Dutchman once. Always worth a listen.

      Albrighton Community Fridge, Dog Kennel Hill

      By AylwardS · Posted

      Thought others may be interested to help a local community centre help others.    My bank account offers roundup and it’s been growing all year. As well as treating myself or putting it towards a train ticket to see my family I’ve made a donation to the Albrighton. They can use donations at any time but I hope my donation will go towards the Christmas hampers.    Can you support them so they can provide Christmas hampers?   https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/albrightoncommunityfridge?utm_id=1&utm_term=M22JKQb6W   A donation of £50 will pay for a hamper to feed a family over this Christmas period. A donation of £30 will pay for a hamper to feed someone living on their own over the Christmas period.

      Xmas lunch at local pubs/restaurants?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.

      Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !

      That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.
