I’ve come across a couple of good pieces from West Africa today. Jayne Chuter has just returned from a Wycliffe Engage Trip to Burkina Faso and has written a fascinating account. Well I am back safe and sound in England now. We had a remarkably smooth and unproblematic month, thanks to all your prayers: nobody got [...] We went with a friend to see 10CC live in High Wycombe last night. In truth, it was only about 2CC as there was only one original member of the band on stage. Graham Goldman started off the show playing songs he had written for other groups including the excellent For Your Love which he [...] It’s been ages since I posted a music video and I thought it was time to do another one. Seasick Steve is normally very raucus, but here he shows a much more sensitive side. Even if you don’t like the blues, this is worth watching for the embarassed look on the face of the girl [...] I saw this on TV tonight and loved it. The words say so much about why I love Africa and its people. Sorry, but I can’t provide a translation if you don’t follow the French.

I gave a short devotional talk for the Ethnomusicology and Performing Arts course that is being held here at the moment and then my friends Rob and Lois Baker were around the office after their return from Benin. I’m always fascinated by the work that ethnomusicologists do and [...] For any rock and roll fan of my age the news of Bo Diddley’s death at the age of 79 comes as a great sadness. He didn’t have much direct impact on the pop charts, but his influence on other musicians is huge as you can read in this BBC tribute. That strange square guitar, [...] Back in the 1970s when I became a Christian there was hardly any Christian music scene – but there was an American guy with long blond hair and a raunchy guitar playing style called Larry Norman. OK, the eschatology of I wish we’d all been ready (probably his most famous song) has never really reflected [...] Sue and I went to a gig at the Talking Heads in Southampton last week. One of the acts was a guitarist called Chris Whitfield and he is absolutely brilliant. He doesn’t have a recording contract yet, but he one day he will. You can listen to a few songs on his MySpace page and [...] |
