If your into Jazz FYJO - Fife Youth Jazz Orchestra, are playing in the Auld Kirk, Kirkcaldy next Friday evening 28 November.
We saw them last year and they are a bunch of incredibly talented young jazz musicians. Well worth a visit. |

Never mind I'll see if its televised live ......
There's also a jazz night every month in the Lomond Hotel in Freuchie, Steve, I haven't been yet  , but will do soon.
There are jazz nights at the bar at the Rep Theatre in Dundee and we've been to a few there and I believe occasionally the bar at the Byre in St Andrews.
Its going down in this area.
PS I love Jazzmatazz |

| does anyone remember the tubes from the late 70's early 80's saw them twice at the playhouse first time with squeeze as the support band 2nd time with nine below zero as support two excellent concerts and two great support bands who should have had top billing in their own right. |

"White Punks On Dope" & Don't Touch Me There" were a couple of great tracks from The Tubes. I still listen to them regularly. Along with the old standards like Floyd, Genesis, Sabbath etc I listen to less mainstream artists like Terry Reid, Les Dudek, Richard Thompson, Tommy Bolin, Robin Trower, Tim Buckley, Pink Fairies, Caravan and the late great Alex Harvey to mention a few.
I think I've got a fairly ecclectic taste when it comes to music and I can listen to most things. (except rap music)!! I do make an effort to listen to more up to date music i.e. Killers, Snow Patrol etc but I find myself returning to the music that I know and love the best.
I'm going through a bit of a folk revival at the moment and I'm listening to Fairport Convention, Planxty, Pentangle, Kate Rusby and Kate and Ann McGarrigal. Much to my wife and son's distaste. Mrs Sam likes Motown and the young lad is into Linkin Park and Eminem.
On to my own personal awards:
Best Album - Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks
Terry Reid - Seed of Memory
Best Guitarist - Jimi Hendrix / Richard Thompson
Best Female Vocalist - Sandy Denny
Best Male Vocalist - Terry Reid
Best Live Act - Zeppelin Earls Court 1975
Biggest Influence - Bob Dylan |

Sadly my 'puter speakers are faulty at the moment.
Wish these groups would tour Scotland again. |

The middle of America is FULL of that kind of dross, it all sounds exactly the same. Plodding, uninventive, empty, macho drivel for truck drivers to eat burgers to.
But then again don't let anyone that favours The Manics tell you anything about music! They are rotten. |
Barbie Girl - Aqua
More Than A Feeling - Boston turned into a disco beat using synthesizers. Tom Scholz should be spitting mad as the albums are specificallty recorded without synths!!
Country & Western

I was there as well. Our special cookies were very nice, baked the previous evening by a nice girl from Edinburgh. Thought the Stranglers were mince. Mind you at uni Hugh Cornwell trapped my hand in a door while getting him on stage at a gig. Pratt.

How can you dismiss a whole genre of music as rubbish,tsk,tsk.
You should listen to Johnny Cash,Hank Williams,Chet Atkins,Gram Parsons,The Carter Family,Bob Wills And His Texas Playboys,Waylon Jennings,Lucinda Williams,Willie Nelson,Flatt and Scruggs,T Bone Burnett,Tony Joe White,Hasil Adkins,Steve Earle,Charlie Feathers,etc,etc and you might just change your mind
