icastle Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Well I never! Steeleye Span and Terry Pratchett! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZ6QgOA1pj4 Seems like Chris Tsangarides is the producer and having worked with acts like Thin Lizzy, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath and Gary Moore, this is gonna be folk rock with the emphasis on ROCK! Headphones and plenty of volume... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfEUBJLZSHw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mornats Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I never knew Sir T played bass! He's my favourite author and now a new bass hero That song does indeed rock \m/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oopsdabassist Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Brilliant Album, got it a while ago, permanently on in car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_skezz Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Yes yes yes! Got it the other week just after finishing the Tiffany Aching books, by and large a cracking album (a couple of forgetable tracks on there IMO, but still getting a lot of playtime at the moment). The Wee Free Men track's absolutely cracking. Crivens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oopsdabassist Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 read all TP's books so much I can almost quote em now, My favourite author! Love the Dark Morris with its prog time sig, and also We Shall Wear Midnight, which makes me sniff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if there's going to be a crossover here - Pratchett fans getting into Steeleye and vice versa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I'd never read anything of TP's until about 10 years ago. Some of my friends used to call me 'Weatherwax' and wouldn't tell me why. One of them eventually let on who 'Weatherwax' was so I bought Wyrd Sisters to find out. I really can't be having some of my friends.

[/quote] I found The Dark Morris Song on YouTube last night - I was wearing headphones and almost fell off of my chair! Looking forward to hearing the rest of it.

Oopsdabassist Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Haha nice friends you have The Tiffany Aching books, were kind of written for kids, TP did a few like that, they are still cracking good reads for us big kids though !

[/quote] Ah, that's maybe how I've missed them up until now then - I'd assumed they were a spin of from 'Lords and Ladies'. Still, makes no odds to me - self cred beats street cred any day of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oopsdabassist Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Granny Weatherwax has got it right if you ask me, 'Headology' is the way to go. I also have no issues reading so called kids books, not when they are this good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Absolutely, the Pratchett sense of humour's still very much present and they've got some of the creepiest villains of the Discworld series. Not to mention the Nac Mac Feegle, who're just about my favourite fantasy characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
