November 12, 1984 Covent Garden London, Roy Harper & Jimmy Page play an intimate acoustic set, 5 days before the first live appearance of the Firm, and it's wonderful. Hangman, 20th Century Man, and One of Those Days in England are heard. Really cool gig.

Forever

Originally Aired 30/03/2023

Alrighty as we did last week we will continue to explore an immersive, calming and reflective world of music that creates an atmosphere which settles oneself as well as touching something deep or mysterious within us. Our vehicle for this exploration is a collection of soothing, environmental and at times melancholy folk frequencies and melodies from the British Isles and the vast landscapes of the United States. Lovely to have you along for this journey.

Alrighty, it’s all about the folk tonight, folks, where we will journey around the British Isles and the vast landscapes of USA, immersing ourselves in the golden period of the 60s and 70s folk revival - a musical world that we hold dearly here at Do Your Thing. Some stops will also include tracks with some psyche, garagey and American Primitive guitar flavourings. Should be a nice journey. Nice to have you along to share the experience.

Was there an omen in the sky
When you came down from on high?
Was it the forest for the trees
When I missed you among the leaves?

But still you found me, how could you tell?
Did you know where or when I fell?
Oh yes you found me down the well
Then you put me under your spell

And if I fade away, don't let me fade
And if I stray, don't let me stray
And if I climb into the well
Pull me back into your spell

Now there's a dream I always dream
Could be delusion, or a fantasy
A new moon rising, a ringing bell
And everyone under the spell, the spell

I’ve been looking, no eyes to see
Were you searching, searching for me?
I’ve been listening, no ears to hear
In the silence, were you near?

And if I fade away, don't let me fade
And if I stray, don't let me stray
And when I fall into the well
Pull me back into your spell
Your spell

MUSIC VAULT 052 - JANUARY (2025)

Lifelong Kate Bush fan, some time songwriter and recording artist with Rare Flowers, and occasionally performing Kate Bush's songs as The Magic of Kate Bush. I now enjoy creating radio shows about Kate (and other artists) and run a Facebook page 'The Magic of Kate Bush' to promote Kate's work.

Here you will find little acoustic pop songs; melancholy, dreamy-folk things. Sometimes some jangly, fuzzy rock tunes or ambient pieces as well. Work-in-progress demos to finished tracks, informal playlists to official album releases. Enjoy.

If you like any of this my twin brother Fsamuel100 has more on Soundcloud and another brother FrancoisS has some attempts at singing

A lifelong Led Zeppelin fan sharing live Zep and related shows with fans. There's way more to Zeppelin than their official releases. Also I do bonus episodes featuring live recordings of other classic rock artists. $heartofmarkness
