I loved Moonmadness and Snow Goose back in the day but was disappointed at their post-Moonmadness output. Afraid I went off them when they played my local (Tunbridge Wells Assembly Hall) in around 1980 and were utterly disinterested and didn't bother with an encore (despite the usual calls from the crowd). They really didn't want to be there and - as a teen with hard earned pockey money that paid for the gig - that was it for me. Occasionally listen to Moonmadness (still got it on my iPod; I love the ethereal Spirit of the Water more than the obvious ones like Lunar Sea).

Way cool, Rev! Here's some quite breathtaking music from Danny and the late John Martyn - makes me swell up ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohmSPv-rtSQ

and a couple from Rodrigo Y Gabriela (who are really great fun live if you get the chance to see them) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8dPso79Z9I a flamenco style cover of Metallica's One (and I love Metallica too!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQQCDW8vI_I&feature=related

If you haven't been there before the gardens of the Alcazar are wonderful and there's several great flamenco venues. Touristy I know, but a horse-driven buggy trip round the old centre is fab!

I am partial to a bit of flamenco music from time to time. Always makes me think of balmy summer evenings and some wonderful holidays in Andalucia. Thought I'd post a couple of clips for your delectation - first off the wonderful Paco De Lucia with Entre Dos Aguas and then the younger generation superstar Vicente Amigo (thanks to Nigel/silddx for pointing me in his direction). Enjoy - absolutely wonderful as far as I'm concerned [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oyhlad64-s[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGJFACdcqPQ&feature=related[/media]

Wicked news mate! Sorry I haven't got anything big and loud in the rig dept otherwise I'd happily sling it your way, given I'm gigging acoustic-y stylee currently. Anyways. spill all on the band!!!

Really enjoyed that - thanks for posting. His enthusiasm and broad smile when playing is absolutely infectious

Thanks Mike, boy that sub arrangement is in the way - but ideal for your front man!!!!!

Little reminder bump!

[sub]Seems logical after his AFR series and Ibanez connections.
