... Well, I don't think anyone did go "beyond trad" into mediaeval music except a very few oddballs like Magna Carta. Even if you look at Pentangle their...
Hi All, I came across a copy of an old San Francisco music magazine [ 1970 ] Florid Payolas, which had some interesting facts about the song White Bird. When...
Hi Paul, it would be grand if you could have these things scanned for the files section, like the poster, etc. you mentioned earlier. Did you get my email off...
Hi Monica, I am passing the poster on to Jimmy, and asking him to scan, that is beyond my range of activity here, as for the White Bird article , that could be...
I've uploaded an update to my ISB covers page to add details of the following versions: Archytyp - First Girl I Loved (YouTube video) Creamcheeze Good-Time...

... Yes, Renbourne did those but nobody followed him because, I guess, you may as well be playing classical music and be doing madrigals and Palestrina and so ...
... What about the Amazing Blondel, they did sort of medieval psych-folk, quite fun in their own way if not as serious as John. Another album that Ernie in...
... I think English acoustic guitar players in the 60s looked to those three. Carthy carved out a unique style for himself slightly later. On his first two or ...
... I'm not familiar with early Martin Carthy, but surely his guitar playing in the mid-60's was distinctive enough to be included alongside Graham, Renbourne,...
Ah...my favorite controversy!! But Carthy's arrangement of Scarborough Fair really does predate the style that he developed that we have come to associate with...
I think Jay is exactly right here. Renbourne, Jansch and Graham were super-influential because they played in variius styles, lots of blues, some jazz, not...
But he roved out in a way that nobody else had done or could do. He may be a folkie..although he adapted his unique style pretty well to the Steeleye Span vibe...
... Try listening to Chris Wood on his latest album Trespasser, or better still, live. He's played a lot with Carthy and it shows, with his guitar playing...
I can't believe we haven't mentioned Nic Jones yet tho ! Like Carthy his style was so individual and advanced (and funky too in his case) that the current and...
Carthy uses CGCDGA which he describes as DADGAD moved down a string and then tuned down a step. (I worked it out and see what he means, but I'm not sure if...

This is kind of ironic, as Edouard-Leon Scott de Marinville's phonautogram was indeed the earliest recording of sound: but it was a visual recording, not an...

This sounds like the type of thing Donovan would say! It seems beyond unlikely to me that John or Paul would not have experimented with fingerstyle guitar long...

Well Jay, I'm not a big fan of Donovan and I think some of his claims to influence are improbable - not to say risable - but I don't think this one is at all...
... I don't really know ... Plenty of carthy on Youtube but always with Swarbrick and others - could only find this one solo piece. It's a crap audience video...
This is even more confusing! I've never heard of claw-hammer style guitar. I know of claw-hammer style banjo, which only uses the back of the fingernail of the...
