I intend no disrespect to my good friend the learned Professor @ahpook when I tentatively venture to point out that the correct spelling is 'berk'. 

Berk is a contraction of Berkshire (pronounced as in 'work' rather than 'bark') the county name being here a component of the word formation Berkshire Hunt,  a passing reference to a long-established aggregation of fox hunting types but in this instance employed more specifically as an example of Cockernee rhyming slang.

Berk = Berkshire Hunt = a pejorative term or insult which rhymes with '-unt'.

Her last (post divorce?) album was as depressing as brexit and only got played once in this house. let's hope she returns to something with a bit of life in it.

Fair enough - I suppose it is a typical break-up album.

 

Here's the band on Jools' show, as an excuse to keep on topic:

 

[EBS_freak]

Worthwhile interlude.

 

Right. Where were we?

 

[EBS_freak]

Trumpet player?

On the plus side, it'll soon be time for the Hootenanny! Ruby Tuner and KT Tunstall....again......probably.....

Get to see that very annoying bloke walking around with his clock face. Nearly a typo.....!😉

Shh. It's not live....

I'll take Ruby Tuner... a welcome change from Ruby Turner.

Yep. There seems to be a strange need in the UK to be rude about and rubbish people who are successful.

Why would any musician criticise another who manages to work hard and smart enough to make a living out of his talents.

In one my friend. Its music, its never going to be everyone's taste. Its a music show and not a "reality" tossfest, be thankful.

...and the miserable bar stewards are straight on the case...

Not forgetting Gregory Porter, Seasick Steve and Dexys (not at the same time though - that would be strange)! 🤒

I'm sure he's a fine singer and a good bloke but I've never quite got the all-round kudos Gregory Porter gets . He seems like a permanent resident of Later and yet there are entire genres that barely get a look in

My suggestion to Later would be to add a series of specials to the schedule. I seem to recall that in the early days Jools went to New Orleans for a show about the music down there.

There have been, and still are, plenty of gigs that Later could cover. a few years ago Jeff Beck at Ronnies, this month Jon Cleary at Ronnies. A couple of years ago Keb Mo at the Union Chappel and Vulfpeck and Vintage Trouble. . .  all missed. The Funk Brothers came to the Festival Hall in 2000. In 2005 the Muscle Shoals, Hi and Stax studio guys came over and played at the Barbican. All these gigs should have been covered, but they weren't! There must be many examples in other genres.

Never mind knocking what is already on TV, what about all the missed opportunities?

Haven't watched it in ages. I did seem to notice that some of the 'big-bands' had both an upright and an electric bassist. That's the last thing I remember about watching LWJH.

You could start a new thread on the missed opportunities.

On the up side there's a Mercury prize show on the box tonight. Foals are nominated - what's not to love? 😂

So its now "miserable" to be pro and positive about another musician, rather than joining in the bad mouthing? I will settle for that, happily.

Yes me too. was thinking recently that there hasn't been a series on for at least a year. I am sure it used to be on more regularly.

Irrelevant how professional and successful another musician is people are entitled to their own opinions about that person good or bad and voicing that opinion if it’s negative doesn't mean you are bad mouthing them

I'm sure there are musicians that you don’t particularly favour or you think are overrated etc

My list is really long Ian Wadkins, Pete Doherty, Kanye West just to name a few and to make it perfectly clear “I AM BAD MOUTHING THEM!!” And I challenge anyone to come up with anything POSITIVE about them!!..........🤬

I have no issue with that, music is subjective. I took issue with being labeled "Miserable" for not lining up to take a pop at the show.
