Impressed with Chris B and Wine & Alchemy

[DonaCatalina]

I have had 'Matty Groves' stuck in my head for 6 weeks now. Low and behold, today we go to see Wine & Alchemy and what do they perform? That very song.
The violin that Chris played was a marvelous counterpoint to the singer's voice.
I can honestly say that this was the best redition that I have heard since Fairport Convention in 1978 or 1979.

Blessings be!

I really enjoy them as well. Looking forward to buying CDs in the next couple of weeks.

they do a great version of Led Zepplin's Chashmere

Yes, they do!  We got to hear it at their 5:30 show today...Marvelous!  Can't wait until the new CD comes out 

[Chris B]

Thanks!  I really appreciate all your support, and I know the band does too.  I'll make sure to pass your thoughts on to Mark and the rest of the group.  We had a pretty rocky start to the weekend on Saturday after I choked on Matty Groves with the Entertainment Director watching and with us having a few technical issues, but I think we recovered and had a pretty good weekend.  I look forward to seeing you all out there over the next several weeks.  I can tell you, at least for me, it takes some of the performance anxiety and edge off seeing familiar faces in the crowd.  See you all soon.

I heard "Matty Groves" when I saw Wine and Alchemy at the Mucky Duck before TRF last fall.  I love the Fairport Convention version, and I have to say, Wine and Alchemy's is at least as good.  Hoping I catch them doing it at Scarby!

Yes, ChrisB, you guys recovered fine.  I was down at Dra's yesteday and you guys sounded great.

[Richard de Graeme]

A wondrous band. Very moving. Sorry they will not be appearing at Bristol this year. Looking forward to hearing the new CD. It is on order. You have many admirers as the the Green Monk spreads the word throughout the Borderland.

All Blessings be upon thee, thy kith and kin.

Kashmir sounded wonderful yesterday.  I was there last Sunday when you guys were really struggling with technical issues.  I was impressed that everyone just plugged through.  You didn't give up or throw in the towel; you all still gave it 100%. 

I love seeing & hearing W&A newbies when they first hear Kashmir.

They really have been great this season despite lots of tecnical difficulties.  Also, personally, I think the fiddle player is HOT!!

Chris it was great to meet you this past weekend.  We enjoyed it so much- we came to a couple of shows   and then we listened to you guys on the way home!!

I really have no other reason for walking all the way down to that side of the fair but to hear them play. My baby just loves them everytime I'm over there and they are playing it kicks and moves around.

The last time I was pregnant, we went to the rodeo, and mine LOVED Maroon 5.  Guess babies are naturally music lovers.  Hope you and your little one are doing well.

I was taking college classes with my second baby, he loved to kick and play during History class.

Were you wearing a black and white outfit with a cat painted on your belly?  I wouldn't have picked you out of the crowd from your profile picture.
