Your favourite listenings......

Hang up your Chisels and Plane blades and take a load off with a recently turned goblet of your favourite poison, in the lounge of our Gentlemen's (and ladies) Club.

We've been watching a new drama on Thursday evenings - Keeping Faith.

The drama is okay, but I especially like the music and this track written & performed by Amy Wadge is stunning - Faith's Song.

Beautifully performed heart felt lyrics.

Stunning video too. 8-)

The story gets better, there was a run on her coat when it was first shown.

I really like this collaboration of two young musicians that I've been following doing the Stealers Wheel classic.


I hope my Martin 12 string sounds a sweet as her Gibson when I've finished building it!

I've never been a big fan, but certainly recognise a great artist and performer. 8-)

In the past I have been able to listen to all the attachments on my iMac. But now they all come up no video, no sound allowed, only dead silence, even with the volume cranked up.

Any clue as to repair this saga please? Trashing my gear is not a option :?

My God...I'm surprised that the audience stayed awake. His tempo is that glacial. She has a nice voice though.

Well spotted Sir! Although the Old Spice surfy chap is to 'O Fortuna' as you're probably aware anyway because you're a clever ole bugger. :D

I had this playing in the workshop a couple of days ago. The neighbours will probably be glad to see the back of me. :shock:

Try a different browser. Which version of OSX and Safari are you using ? I'm getting hacked off with 'nanny' Safari telling me I can't do this and can't do that.

If you are using 'Nanny' then later versions get very fussy about Flash and you need to dig around to allow Flash for that site.

Are you on auto-update ? That would explain why it has suddenly stopped working.

You're just depressed about the winter prospects up there beyond yonder. :lol:

No, I agree, the tempo is slightly nondescript with this performance - or maybe nondescript is too strong... urrr, sluggish maybe. I liked her voice and the ambience of the performance, and it's a great song. 8-)

This is one of the saddest moments in opera IMO and the music and singing is superb. Wotan is banishing his daughter to an eternal sleep because she wilfully disobeyed him in an earlier scene.

I've been doing a bit in the new hobby shop today and I'm almost finished. It's looking great and a real little gem for those chilling out times.

Whilst tinkering around, I kept singing "Love is in the air, everywhere I look around..."

Must be them lovely old tools of mine. 8-)

So let's have it... loud as you like.... turn up the volume and belt it out. 8-)

How about........

......a bit of Disco/Folk fusion!!!

I even went and bought the album. Must be the latent hippy in me. :D

If you like it, check out their version of the Average White Band's 'Pick up the Pieces'.

I seem to be the only one posting at the moment, but hey ho..

I really am just a little too young to remember this theme tune at the time it was on TV, but I picked it up with the Blues Brothers.

There's something about brass music, you can't help but feel it!

Malc, remember the theme very well. Not from TV as we only got TV in 1975 and then only from 18:00 to 22:00. very limited TV in the early days.
