Original
Common Ground Web Site created by the
marvelously talented Branden
Thompson...The Celestrian!The 1970s
Irish/Celtic/Folk/Rock band Horslips have
remastered and rereleased all their CDs
and are finding renewed interest in their
music. It's about time!!!!! One of the
greatest and most original bands of all
time. Cheryl and Mark Cloud had a number
of interesting meetings/conversations
with keyboardist Jim Lockhart in the
1970s...and (although he probably doesn't
recall) he gave some great encouragement
for the original formation of Common
Ground. Do Check them out! Horslips.
A GREAT on-line radio
station is "One
Night at McSorleys." An
incredible collection of folk, folk rock,
and...well, try it out. You be glad you
did! You will need to download the Radio
365 software, but that's easy and quick.
On a
more serious note: Here is an article
written by the wonderful author Spider
Robinson. Highly recommneded reading; in
fact, I wish I could make it available to
every single person on the planet. Spider
Robinson.
Just found out about these
guys! They are a fantastic band and are
good friends with the former Horslips
fellows as well. You'll like them, I
promise. The
Marshmen. NOTE:
This web site is off-line. Come back
soon, guys!
For
classic rock, you won't find a better
band than Damn Good
Question! Check 'em out (Not sure
who the old hippy in the Hawaiian shirt
is...); they're probably performing
somewhere this weekend.
Richard
Hollis has created a wonderful site for
legendary folk rock band Steeleye Span.
Speaking
of whom, Steeleye fiddle player Peter Knight has his own site
with lots of fun stuff.
37
Years! Fairport Convention started English
folk/rock and they're better than ever.
For some
of the best folk/rock artists of all
time, visit the Folk Corporation.
Earbuzz.com is a great place
to find excellent, but hard-to-find
artists. Including those Common Ground
guys.
For more
information than you ever dreamed about
folk and folk/rock artists, check out the
Green Man Review (Formerly the
Folk Pages). They've said very nice
things about C.G.!

here's a good one for supporting
