Cloudland Blue Quartet - Live Set Run Through (2017-08-20)

Up early and working on a CD for bassist Keith to rehearse along to, re the trio with drummer Johnny...

Then, to work on tidying up, editing, mixing etc re the WAV files for this...

Coming soon...

While I worked on this, Anne was off to Motherwell with Bobby, Olly and Olly's chum to watch Hearts go ahead and, then, disappointingly, lose 2-1...

Meanwhile Queens were visiting Falkirk - usually a difficult fixture - but they smashed it 4-1 with Stephen Dobbie getting a hat trick...

Good stuff...

In the evening, out the back door, to see this wee monkey making its way across the path...

Mon the slugs...

To Omar Khayyam with Annie for nephew Craig's birthday bash...

It didn't end like this - which was good...

Craig's mum Sharon, Sharon's mum and boyfriend were all in attendance...

...as were brother-in-law Keith's side of the family, Rebecca and Murray, Abby and Blair plus Jane and Bob...

Mary was enjoying the popadoms along side Keith and Maureen...

...and had the best seat at the table - next to your correspondent...

..and, of course, the birthday boy and Arianne were here too...

A surprise cake was arranged towards the end of the evening...

For the record, the best curry on the menu is Charsada Lamb Karahi - which should be accompanied by special fried rice, featuring egg and peas, along with a peshwari nan...

Yum...

Home around midnight I think...

An excellent evening...

Highlight of the Day : Musicking and currying and Queens...

Crispycat Latest Release

"I know I produce an awful lot of music, which can make it hard to keep up. But, at the end of each year since 2021, I've produced a tasty compilation ("The Originals") featuring one track from each release. So, every year, if you're only going to buy one CBQ album, make it that one!" "Twentytwentyfour: The Originals" is a 130 minute selection of tracks from the fifteen 2024 releases by Cloudland Blue Quartet. The collection is issued in anticipation of (and includes a track from) the fifteenth and final record of the year, "Twentytwentyfour", a multi disc compilation of rare and previously unreleased recordings made by CBQ throughout 2024, which is due on 31 December.

Cloudland Blue Eclectic Selection

In a one-man crusade to encourage the world to broaden its musical horizons, David has been broadcasting a weekly Eclectic Selection of music from across his vast record collection since 2014. On the programme each week, you'll hear 25 Tracks, kicking off with David's LP of the Week, followed by his six other LPs of the day, three or so CBQ, or CBQ related, tracks, a single of the week (if there is one), a couple more singles (if there are any) and a further eclectic mix of other things new into the collection... It's eclectic!
