Tonight ( Sunday) at 9.45pm on Sky Arts they are showing ‘Concert for George’. 
A wonderful celebration of the music of George Harrison by a star studded cast, in 

my view it’s one of the best rock docs ever, up there with ‘The Last Waltz’.

Watched a bit of "Mick Fleetwood and Friends " last night. Did anyone notice the bit where he had trouble with the autocue? He really doesn't have much luck with them, does he? 😄

The bit that made me laugh was the big last tune with everyone on stage at the same time (always a recipe for disaster), somebody shouted for John Mayall to do a harmonica solo, it looked like he had forgotten how to play it and just made a humming noise.

Sad to see three artists that come to mind on the stage performing that are no longer with us, Tom Petty, Billy Preston and Gary Brooker. ☹️

I was thinking that when watching last night - 3 amazing musicians, all favourites of mine. 
In fact the whole stage was full of people I’ve admired for years. 

 

Had the pleasure of meeting Gary Brooker in the 70’s, a lovely funny man with so much talent.

Saw Billy with The Stones also in the 70’s, and Tom Petty in 1980 at Manchester Apollo - one

of the best gigs I’ve ever been to. I know a lot of folk on here don’t have time for Eric Clapton,

but I thought he played and directed the gig brilliantly too.

Saw the Marvin thing last nite too and was rather thrilled when I noticed the bassist playing an SB900 thru a Muisicman rig.  Exact same setup I had back in 81. Nice basses tho the neck was always a bit skinny for my hands.

Sky Arts has disappeared (again) from my Freeview channels. No channel 36 listed. Tried retuning a few times but to no avail.

 

Anyone else got the same problem? (Or a solution). I'm really missing it. It's my most watched channel by far.

I did but no luck. Wonder if you need an enhanced subscription (I have bog standard)?

Sorry, only on YouTube (as far as I know), an Interview and chat with Lee Ritenour.

He is talking about his (busy) studio sessions days with a few funny stories thrown in.

There are a couple of (baked in) short adverts in there (strings and pedals), but nothing too intrusive.

Saw a good one the other night, Mark Knopfler & Brian Johnston interviewing Sam Fender.

Sam Fender was great on the Lindisfarne documentary not so long ago. Pretty sure @wateroftyne appeared on that one too.

Sky Arts is indeed great, but as I mentioned previously, it's disappeared from my Freeview a couple of weeks ago. Please can anyone tell me if it's just me or if it's not included on Freeview anymore. 

 

Thanks.
