Green Gartside sang two songs at The Incredible String Band evening at The Barbican last sunday .... it was an evening of String Band music with Mike Heron and Clive Palmer ( ISB original members ) plus a troupe of friends which included Richard Thompson , Robyn Hitchcock , Alasdair Roberts and er .... Green Gartside of Scritti Polliti . He sang a song called God Dog ... and it was as if as soon as he sang the first note he had made the song his own , just like he had always sang it ... his voice was perfect for the song ... I would never have thought he was an ISB fan ... however he used to go to Martin Carthy gigs in the late 70s .


10 out of 10 for captivating vocals ...


oh yeah .... saw Peter Hammill at the QE Hall on the south bank in the 90s , he put the mic to one side and bellowed at the top of his lungs for one song ... I remember I was sat very near the back of the hall and I felt like I was pinned to the back wall of the theatre .

Because it didn't captivate me. Made me laugh. At it. But I wasn't moved or interested by it.

The ones I mentioned had a capacity to move/excite.

Me at least.

No I could not get that round my head at all, didn't do his credibilty a lot of good. Grat singer though.

HB, Linton Kwesi Johnson would be a good addition to your non-singing list, I would say.


Brendan, not sure about Vedder/Pearl Jam. I guess one man's "captivating" is another man's "insincere angst". If we're gonna go with a singer from that whole scene/era, I'd go with Mark Lanegan.

Don't get me wrong keef, I love the Sundays, have everything they ever did.

Good songs, lovely kind of Englishness washes all over their stuff and she was elfin and cute, what's not to like. But her voice doesn't have power or amazing emotion, it is however perfect for what they do which is to relax and comfort you, hence the slippers.

      free for Southwark residents

      By trinidad · Posted

      Hello, with the weather improving, I thought I would flag up the free access to leisure centres in southwark. 1. If you are experiencing poor mental and physical health and live in the borough, the GP exercise referral service allows up to three months of free use of leisure centers. There are three levels of support, and you can even refer yourself. read more for more info: Kickstart, Active Boost and Cardiactive - Everyone Health Southwark   2. If you don't have challenges with physical ands mental health, you can access the free swim and gym for a year. for more info: Free swim & gym eligibility requirements – Leisure Facilities in Southwark 3. Are you a blue badge holder? you can apply for the AD Permit, a virtual payment which allows disabled drivers to part on single and double yellow lines without the need of displaying a blue bae in the windscreen. there is also information for disabled residents to use the Low Traffic Neighborhood (LTNs) around the borough.  Exemptions for Blue Badge holders | Southwark Council Want more information? use the councils website: www.southwark.gov.uk

      Thames Water - water meters

      By EDmummy101 · Posted

      I am about to tomorrow. I only just realised after asking some neighbours today. Agreed that smaller households should of course pay less, like discounted council tax bills for those on benefits for example. However as our bills have gone up astronomically generally in the last few years, I do feel hardworking families are being penalised... also avid gardeners will be penalised in the summer when gardens are watered no doubt.

      Thames Water - water meters

      By trinidad · Posted

      Hello Womanofdulwich, I had a meter installed in the summer of last year. Currently my bills have fallen massively. Can you remember which month your water meter was installed? Also I received two appointments, one from a group of staff in orange who decide if the property is suitable for the water meter, and then a second appointment for the meter to be installed, did you have the same thing? Are you saying as well that you was cold called regarding the water meter, or are you saying someone from Thames water turned up, at your door unannoyed?   Lastly (so sorry to through so much questions at you) how many bedrooms do you have and how many people live at the property?
