Bloody Noses EP
by Richard Thompson
supported by 12 fans who also own “On Mayfly Wings (live at Cropredy 2019)”
John Drumbo French from Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band worked with Thompson on two albums along with Fred Frith and Henry Kaiser. Those two French, Frith, Kaiser and Thompson albums led me to this. Also, Richard Thompson taught Hugh Cornwell (of The Stranglers) how to play the bass guitar in a band when they were both at the same school (Emil and The Detectives?). With a career spanning 50 years and playing with two of my heroes (French and Cornwell) Thompson has produced a fascinating EP.

Rise Up Rise Up
by The Owl Service
supported by 10 fans who also own “On Mayfly Wings (live at Cropredy 2019)”
'Owl Service' never cease to amaze me with their ability to sound fragile, "scuzzy", otherworldly, and intimate: the album sounds effortless, songs are timeless and ... beautifully sung -especially Diana Collier!!

Serpent's Tears
by Richard Thompson
supported by 10 fans who also own “On Mayfly Wings (live at Cropredy 2019)”
There's a similarity in song writing between Richard Thompson and Hugh Cornwell which maybe isn't surprising as they went to the same school at the same time, although Thompson is older. Due to Thompson's association with John French of Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band I searched for his work on the Bandcamp app. French, Thompson and Cornwell all have albums on the app which I'm very pleased about. Only Thompson has released contemporary albums, much to his credit.
