I like the bit with the two accordions starting around 3:09.
They’re supposed to be touring near us next Fall, and I think we’ll be going to see them.

Another one of Sona, this time in the tiny village Hertme (~500 inhabitants) that is a few km’s from where I live. Each year they have the Africa Festival in the open air theater.

Got to love using your amp heads as makeshift wine bars
Danny Thompson’s double bass has the exact same tone from when he played on Nick Drake and John Martyn stuff around the same time.

I love the first Pentangle album. and some of the others, too.
haha - had to look it up. I know “will o’ winsbury” as “farewell, farewell”. I guess Pentangle wrote it and Thompson stole the melody.
always liked their version of “Lord Franklin”. Of course they didn’t write that one.

Just a trad tune as far as I know.

The first time I tried “play what you hear” it was the intro from the album-version of Storm and Thunder. Also I would very much like to play Song of the Marching Children (track 5, I mean) with a bunch of friends.

Yes, both “Lord Franklin” and “Willy O Winsbury” are trad songs.
Did you know ‘syntablism’ was a thing? Kind of obvious when you think about it I guess, but these are (Johno suggests!) possibly the only 3 performing artists making a show of it.
