Compete at Salut!
June 01, 2007
Here at Salut! Live, I can be bolder, since I have lost count of the number of times I have been sent a copy of the same CD by not only the artist's record company but also the agent or publicist.
I will therefore pull together a quite arbitrary selection of three CDs and promise, here and now, to award them to the reader of this site who comes up with the best suggestion for what Salut! Live should aim to do/cover if it has any raison d'être beyond just another hobby for me.
No need at this stage to provide an address. But this is the posting where contributions should be made, as comments. If I get several, and they are incisive or interesting or funny enough, I may well award second and third prizes of two CDs and one. And if I get none at all, I may or may not take the hint.
Oh, and if you like Box Fox, he's the subject of an interview - admittedly football-inspired but with a lot of background to his development as an absolute star of English folk - over at Salut! Sunderland.

much peace & music to you ≈

Well, as no-one else has commented on what they want to see, I might as well jump in.
My music collection ranges from Abba to Zwan and encompases most genres. However 'Folk' is a notable absentee. As mentioned in a prevous comment, The Seeger Sessions by Bruce Springsteen is about the nearest I can offer. I do have a Billy Bragg CD but it is the fairly commercial "Don't Try This At Home" so that doesn't count.
Therefore, I look forward to some reviews and suggestions. I have looked longingly at the listings on the right of the of the blog with some interest, but can't bring myself to buy anything without knowing a little more.
