From Jigtime at jigtime.com Wed Oct 29 02:12:38 2003 From: Jigtime at jigtime.com (Jigtime at jigtime.com) Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2003 02:12:38 -0500 Subject: [Jigtime] JigTime News Issue 5 Message-ID: <000e01c39dec$0a19ede0$6400a8c0@computername> JigTime News October 29, 2003 Issue 5 Welcome to our regular look at all the news that?s fit to shake a stick at. It has been a quiet week at home just playing the guitar, editing some pictures and listening to some great music. Winter is finally blowing into town with some good rain in tow. We hope that wherever you are it is at least peaceful if not warm and dry. Stick with me though, I have the music news to warm those proverbial cockles of the heart. We do send our regards to Mark O?Connor who lives uncomfortably close to the wildfires which are devastating California right now. Our thoughts are with him, though happily in an email he has assured everyone that they are fine for the moment although the smoke is not making things very comfortable. Our thoughts are also with everyone in fear of this ongoing disaster and the families of those who have sadly lost their lives. Again for any of you who are bored with the newsletter just send me a mail to info at jigtime.com and say ?John, stop that, It will make you go blinder? In this Issue Solas on song and thankfully on tour too There are very few bands that have the pedigree of Solas. They are currently on tour to promote the new album Another Day. And what a great album it is too. Read all about Seamus Egan?s great band and the wonderful new album http://www.jigtime.com/anotherday.htm Dan? take the right road Waterford based Dan? are another band on the road this month promoting a new album. I told you I spent the week listening to great music. More trad than Solas?s offering it still packs a very fresh and contemporary punch and will keep a little tap in your step for a while to come yet. http://www.jigtime.com/danualbum.htm MagnoliaFest - the perfect end to a great summer. With the rain still in my hair from a walk to the Chattahoochee I had a chance to have a look back at last weekend?s amazing Magnoliafest. I almost feel homesick for it already. I just have to make sure Beth and Randy have made my bed made for me or Cathy Lee might find me a lumpy space under the stage to lay my weary head. http://www.jigtime.com/magnoliareview.htm Steve Earle in Theaters Now The Pilgrim himself is on the road again with dates all through November and a big screen release for his new documentary. http://www.jigtime.com/steveearl.htm Altan in the Lowlands It is the turn of the Netherlands to have Altan as their welcome guests as the band head towards the end of another very busy and successful year. The Dutch Tour dates can be found here http://www.jigtime.com/altan/tourdates.htm Pictures, Pictures As always we have pictures all over the site for you. Most recently we have some from the fantastic Magnoliafest and some from last year?s Music Midtown. http://www.jigtime.com/jigpictures.htm New Links Lots of new and exciting links on our links page from Four Men and a Dog to the Duhks. Is there some sort of pattern emerging here? http://www.jigtime.com/jiglinks.htm Coming up soon on JigTime The Bell Witch is a new movie about some spooky goings on in Tennessee. The great mystery is when it will be released. Oh and the reason it will be on JigTime is because not only is the movie set in my beloved Appalachians but the soundtrack is looking like a winner too with top quality genuine mountain music.. Also we will have a listen to the new album from Sinead O?Connor and a new album featuring the songs of Dolly Parton by some of the most talented singers in the business/ Thanks Some thanks are in order this week. Firstly thanks to Tim Lynch for his mention of us in his review of Magnoliafest for the South Florida Bluegrass Newsletter.
