ATW FRIDAY NIGHT MUSIC
By Pete Moore On January 15th, 2021Because Friday night is Music Night
I read reports that a Scottish postman has made sea shanties cool again. I say that they were always cool. A banging version of “Wellerman” isn’t something I thought would emerge on Tik Tok but emerge it has. Check it out.
Alice Cooper has a new single out. It’s a cover and not as good as this the original. Outrageous Cherry were from Detroit but this sounds straight from Carnaby Street to my ears, about 1966. I can hear early Who and the Kinks. You can’t go wrong down that road. Have a good weekend, whatever you’re up to. I’ll be popping too Sainsburys and going for a walk, like I’ve done for the previous 44 weekends.
As always, feel free to share your top sounds down below –
I haven’t heard that track before. Nice.
Here’s a chilled one from me I’m sure you all know:

Erm, not sure I do.
Oh, the Latin has stopped. I recognise the plinky plonky bit now (excuse the technical jargon).
Yes I remember that Enigma tune. It was ok a bit so so.
What about this one:

Never heard that one before. Its better. Could grow on me if I play it again !
Friday night actually is Music Night for me. I love to shut the door on the week and the world and sink into music. And oh boy have I sunk into some old magic this evening,
I’ve been so enjoying one of the greatest ever Rock & Roll bands tonight. And so have my neighbours.

I bought a CD of sea shanties ages ago, for no particular reason.
It’s in the pile somewhere.
Pete Moore,
You and me both, thanks to the pubs being closed and not being able to visit, or go out with friends.
Classic rock and roll there Pete.
That was very nice Peter. Cheers.
You’re welcome Dave. I heard it for the first time about a month ago, on Radio 3.
I’ve added it to my private music collection.
I was trying to work out where that tunnel is, I think it’s in Australia.
This is Nisi Dominus from Vivaldi. Beautiful pictures. And the music too:
