[carlosj]

Seen Caitlin a couple of times, really good shows.

Glasgow kiss is something I've not heard of for some time, fortunately. Here's the "is he, isn't he headlining" Prince

link word She

Pretty

Roy Orbison. One of the most distinctive voices of music - with Pretty Woman from the superb Black & White Night concert. Ends with "She's walking back to me."

Green, still grates that he split them apart and became a bit boring as a result but I suppose it had gone it's course.

Two links with Green. Take either Peter (a great guitarist till his head went bang) or Manalishi.

You've got both together here.

As for Mr Weller. I've got tickets to see him in Cardiff Castle grounds in July. Hopefully at least we'll have a nice picnic.

[carlosj]

Enjoy your picnic with Paul Weller, Mr Hack.

Saw Peter Green at the Irish Centre in Leeds in 2010, sad in some ways, but good in many more. The ultimate dirty man in the Mac (not me, this time), one for the AGRICULTURAL historian, Aqualung, by Jethro Tull.

Assuming the word to connect to is Agricultural, this is Show of Hands again with the Galway Farmer.

It's the story of a farmer from Galway who came over for the races at Cheltenham and bet all his money on a horse.

I saw SoH do this at the Wychwood Festival last year, which is staged at Cheltenham Racecourse, so it was the perfect setting for the song.

This video is from their show at the Royal Albert Hall - now an annual SoH gig.

Yes, it was that word, I can't do bold on the phone. This is Paul Heaton, but I'll link to HOUSEMARTIN or ME.

Paul Heaton - Me And The Farmer - Kings Arms Salf:

Bahh, Carlos got me back, spent 20 mins finding suitable link to Farmer.

Hummingbird.

No live footage so watch the spinning deck while this funky Monday tune plays out!

Hummingbird is the pet name of Cameron Poe's wife in Con Air, which features Sweet Home ALABAMA. There are so many corny lines in this movie, it transcends brilliance. Sorry whisty, it wasn't a karmic intention ;-)

From Alabama let's have Three

This is the Alabama 3 at Rockness is some glorious sunshine - just the sort of stuff I'm sure we'll see in June at Glastonbury.

I like the A3 because, as they say, there aren't three of them and they don't come from Alabama (Brixton I believe).

I would have followed on from Whisty's Hummingbird with the excellent Snowy White and Bird of Paradise. So here it is anyway.

I was at that gig ,weather was outstanding,shame its not on this year.

Counting down from 3 ,this is one of my favourites from that decade.., nay all time.

Party Fears Two - The Associates.

ONE

[grumpyhack]

We've One and Two and Three. Here Mel Smith and Griff Rhys Jones do a great 1-2-3 fill in before the appearance of Queen at Live Aid. Still probably the best day's television of my life.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1rGsNzAgWg

And this is the bit that had me in tears.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZG3ZLQ4MO8

One of the most powerful combinations of film and music of all time.

[salvador wali]

Remember it very well even though i was a child. Watched it all day with my dad, happy memories. The last video brought a tear to my eye, something that doesn't happen very often. So to lighten the mood, have a bit of this. King (choose either) love & pride

[carlosj]

I was glued to the box that day, powerful imagery.

King, who didn't have coloured laces and paint on their docs?

My ode to love is TOMORROW is a long time. I was lucky enough to hear Bob play this live, but not this recording.

Bob Dylan - Tomorrow is a long time: http://youtu.be/Xw-8HkDYeQ8

[grumpyhack]

Roberta Flack (such a pure voice) with her version of the Shirelles "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNWtIKpNV6Q&list=RDxNWtIKpNV6Q#t=25

I can't find a good live performance, only one from a wobbly camera, so to really appreciate her this is one of my all time favourite love songs. "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face".

It was also "our song" with one of my first girlfriends from Holland over 40 years ago. I remember sitting in her flat in Amsterdam going all gooey listening to it with her.

So I'll go for a link word of Face.

Grinning

[carlosj]

If grinning leads on to gurning, then I think gertcha would be an appropriate noise upon commencing said GURN.

I appreciate after Bagpuss, and now Chas and Dave, I'm not showing my cultured, highbrow and indie roots, but hey, my shallow yin, to others' broader yang ;-)

Word is GURN. Have at it!

Chas and Dave - Gertcha (1979):

[grumpyhack]

From Gurn to Gurney Slade (so the next link should be easier).

The Strange World of Gurney Slade was a surreal 1960 TV Series, devised by Anthony Newley, who also starred in it.

The title was inspired by the little village of Gurney Slade which is not that far from Glastonbury. Newley had driven through it not long before a planning meeting for the series and remembered it as a name.

I remember the catchy theme music written by Max Harris more than the actual series. But it's said that the programme's surrealism partly inspired David Bowie.

[brandycoke]

Never come across that series before, looks interesting.

Gonna take the obvious here, and go for a track from them, not sung by Noddy, but by the multi talented Jim Lea.

When The Lights Are Out.

Great tune.

[carlosj]

I'll take it from lights to TORCH, as in torch song. Cracking song.
