Day three of the inaugural Sidetracks And Detours Bluegrass Music in text Festival 2022 THE SOUNDS OF BLUEGRASS HISTORY + plus + important jazz UK news

Some musicians play a little behind the beat.´They may do it by choice or they may not know they’re doing it, but I can’t sing with those musicians. I just can’t. For me to sing, I’ve got to have four other guys who play right smash on top of the beat. It doesn’t matter if the song is slow or fast, as long as they’re right on top of it. As soon as it starts to drag, I can’t live with it´.

INDIANA JONES ON HIS LAST CRUSADE

There is a street along to the church in Haria town centre that is, in December, a little piece of heaven in a world that feels at the moment like it is taking us to hell in a hand-cart. The trees are tastefully draped in single colour lighting (left) and the church is floodlit. Either side of dusk there are two or three welcoming restaurants, street markets stalls serving mulled wine and such, and couple and families, tourists and locals taking a gentle evening stroll.
