Ten years ago to this week there was a charming festival in the Calder Valley, a place very close to Burnley but well defended enough by geography to prevent regular visits from the likes of us.
Lovey writing. Thanks for the piece on Garth. You were the one to turn me on to The Band and I am indeed richer for it. Much love to you and yours my friend.
Thanks again pal. That Heavenly weekend was exactly that. And that’s an atheist’s view!
Btw you might like to visit the organ at the bridgewater hall sometime. They do wee behind the facade tours and even let you play it. 5,500 pipes! Amazing.
Lovely stuff, as ever. I had tickets for the Hebden-ly Weekender and was looking forward to a Lancastrian invasion. But then we buggered off round the Med in a van for a year. A good reason to miss out but I was disappointed nonetheless. I was lucky enough to see you play with Simon/Chery Ghost at the Trades at some point prior though, which was a fantastic night, even if not committed to vinyl for all perpetuity. Didn't I see you play with Jimi at the Trades on another occasion too? I miss the Trades. Such an amazing venue.
And thanks for providing the new Garth Hudson threads to follow.
