Favourite Artists Track 453 - Robert Wyatt, nominated by Tim - Voting

[Spacepig]

So this week we sample the solo career of ex Soft Machine and Matching Mole member Robert Wyatt. Tim has specified that only the solo work is allowed, and his best known song, Shipbuilding, is also out, presumably to give everything else a chance.

Wiki lists 9 solo albums, and a clutch of EPs and singles. As ever, noms in by 10 pm Sunday, then back here for voting next week.

Any doubts, see Tim.

Ireland has banned indoor meetings over 100 people. First casualty is my planned trip next weekend to Limerick to see Napalm Death :-(

Life is in turmoil over here now. On top of the mass panic buying, they have closed all the pubs and clubs until further notice. Which is no great deal to me but, all upcoming gigs are also cancelled. I think that is 6 gigs written off totally, and another, oh who knows how many, in the balance, including Rammstein!

[Craig White]

"in the balance, including Rammstein!"

mrs tech and i are keeping an eye on the situation before commiting to get tickets - belfast or cardiff (coventry not an option, why no scotland?) mrs tech is the main driving force behind appreciating rammstein - apparently i don't fancy till lindemann as much as she does!

Space - you need to change the heading to ‘voting’!

Another good voter turnout, keep it up.

Grabbing the gold this week, well ahead of the pack, Jemma's nom, At Last I Am Free. A silver for Brass Neck with the cover of I'm A Believer. And Spacepig picks up the bronze with Maryan.

Tech, if the Rammstein tour goes ahead (looks unlikely now) and if you end up going to Belfast, give me a shout

Brass Neck - the venue Napalm Death were to play holds 380, it was sold out. We like our metal over here, we sure do :-)

In a word .... "no".

Looks like SussexWelsh has answered that one Sera. It appears that Boris is finally copping on a bit, everywhere that resembles fun gets closed down tonight, but it's too late, the horse has bolted. Boris reckons it will take 12 weeks to 'turn the tide', taking us to the end of June. Even if he is right (there's a first time for everything they say) you are just about to experience what we have had for the last week or two Best get used to your strange new world and accept that for the time being, and for long enough, gigs are off the cards.
