Scotland's first House Concert run in with the authorities

In the the glaring publicity light of this Scotland's first House Concert run in with the authorities, http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/news/uk/scotland/article3720227.ece can I first sympathise with Douglas. He isn't a member of www.houseconcert.eu but I would urge him to join and relate his problems with the other 150 so hosts and 1,700 members, he will have valuable insights for us all. I haven't read a statement from Douglas in his own words yet, it would be good to get his side of the story, not just how the sensationalising press would like to relate it.

That being said I feel I need to take this opportunity to re-iterate the golden rules of House Concerts.

The Medicine Show at Folk Alliance here is all you need to know and all our sessions from Toronto.

|Listen Here http://soundcloud.com/medicinemusic/sets/the-medicine-show-at-folk

Well I'm totally Folked, I'm heart sore and travel weary but I can only say anyone interested in music should witness and pay witness to Folk Alliance at least once in their life. Its something I never thought possible, a music industry event that is all about the artists community, its driven by the artists and is all about the music. The business is there and the business gets done but music is all consuming, all pervading  its on all 5 floors in every room, its in the stair wells, on the stares, in the lifts, and everywhere you look,  its amazing. I got to go on invitation to be on a panel about House Concerts representing The Euro House Concert Hub at …

House Concert Hub and the Medicine Show rolls into Folk Alliance

So the adventure continues, as a direct result of talking at WOMEX in October Ive been invited to Folk Alliance in Toronto the weekend after next.

Thanks to a grant from Creative Scotland  (Cant take the camper to Canada) that will pay my flights and Steve Squarewheels Macdonald who has a credit card that works, I am going to Folk Alliance 2013 in Toronto.

Ive been invited on a panel to talk about Euro House Concerts. If you feel like helping me find a bed for the night as well (I'm told sleeping in the park this time of year in Toronto isn't much fun) and you live in Toronto, I'll put some beer in the fridge and bring a nice bottle of Malt.

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Wembley Stadium, London. June 15th 2013

I hate large stadium arenas but I adore Bruce Springsteen. I’m with the purists who argue that shows in such venues are much less satisfying than in smaller, intimate venues but, but, but….Springsteen is one of those artists who make a large venue seem small. For him it’s all about the music and the energy of the performance – no laser beams, no pyrotechnics, no circus – just a blacked out stage with three huge video screens and an E Street Band, most of whom have been playing with him since…
