Excuse, Excuses...

I'm afraid that I've fallen a bit behind with my postings in recent weeks. The main reason for this is the fact that I appear to have bitten off more than I can chew just at the moment! My involvement with the Silvia Nicolatto project has meant that I set up another blog and (something I swore that I would never do) a Facebook presence. What with servicing these - essential for tour publicity - rehearsing and performing with the group, and fitting in time to do my radio show, The Voltarol blog has inevitably suffered. No great loss, some might say, but I enjoy writing it and you don't have to read it so I do intend to carry on as soon as the tour is over and I can concentrate on it for a bit. Having said that, I find myself increasingly posting YouTube clips to my Facebook page which previously would have been posted here. I suppose that is because I want to share the music but don't have the time to write about it at the moment. Next week sees the final leg of the tour, preceded by two days in the recording studio. After that I shall be back to these pages and scribbling away as hard as ever again. Also, I have decided to stop posting playlists from the Radio Programme. If you are interested in anything that I play (assuming that you actually listen to it) then contact me via Facebook or the Source fm's website and I'll happily provide you with all the information about the shows.

Voltarol on the radio again...

I'm finding the evening slot a much more relaxed one than the old Thursday afternoon show - there seems to be much less pressure because mine is the last live show of the day. Mind you, the next few weeks are going to be pretty busy for me as Silvia Nicolatto arrives in the country next weekend and there will be some serious rehearsals, followed by a series of gigs and two days in the recording studio. Nevertheless, I hope to bring you some interesting shows during that period. Here are the details of last Wednesday's show.

New season on the radio...another gig at Hayle

Adventures in the Din Trade - the Radio Show - starts a new season this coming Wednesday evening at 9.30 pm on The Source 96.1 fm. at 9.30 pm. At last, "the late night show that - for your convenience - comes to you in the afternoon" is actually a late (ish) night show. I shall be reviewing some new releases, playing some of my own stuff and generally enjoying myself. If you want to catch the show on line then see 'Voltarol recommends' (right hand side of page) for a link.

On Friday, Que Belo Castelo are back at the Cornish Arms 86 Commercial Road, Hayle TR27 4DJ01736 753237 ‎. Kick-off is at 9 pm so if you can make it we'll be glad to see you!

In the meantime I continue to work on the Silvia Nicolatto project. I have also set up a My Space page which might be of interest to you.

Que Belo Castelo back in Hayle

Yes - they seem to like us at the Cornish Arms in Hayle. Que Belo Castelo are back there again next Friday, August 26th, for another evening of Brazilian, Cuban, Creole and South African sounds. It's the four piece line up ( Kate is still away) and we'll be playing from 9 pm. If you can make it down we'll be very pleased to see you...

Here are some pictures from the gig we did there at the beginning of July. My grandson Josh - a fine guitarist - was staying with my wife and I for the week, so he came down and sat in with us for a couple of numbers.

Left to right: Dan, Josh, Pete T, Pete K, Sam.

Choro, Forró and Silvia...

This was my last show until the new series starts on Wednesday 7th September at the new time of 9.30 p m. In the mean time I am busy  promoting the Silvia Nicolatto tour that I shall be part of in September and October. For further details of this see the blog. You may also be entertained - or as likely repelled  - by this impression of me that was drawn  a few years ago by an acquaintance of mine. I came across it the other day whilst I was turning out some old papers...

Apologies and announcements...

Those of you who listened last Friday will be aware that the show was a repeat of the last week's programme (see previous posting for details. Unfortunately I was laid low by an attack of Lurgy, brought about by side effects of a course of antibiotics. There is an irony in there somewhere but I can't quite put my finger on it at the moment...Next Friday's show (12th August) will be the last in the current series. I'm taking a break until September when the show will return at the new time of  9.30 pm on Wednesday evenings.

You may have notices that the photograph on my profile has made a change for the better. The picture is in fact of the Brazilian singer, Silvia Nicolatto, who I met on my last visit to the country (see Voltarol in Brazil 2010). Silvia will be in Cornwall in September and October and will be performing several gigs in the South West and I shall be part of her band. For the background story and regular updates, please check out this new blog. I will be telling some of the story and playing some of her music on the radio show this week. The first part of the show will be devoted to Choro and Forró. I shall be playing the Silvia Nicolatto tracks in the last half hour or thereabouts.

Things to do and places to go...

This week's show was slightly flawed at the start when a CD player failed to respond to a fader so - apologies for that. Otherwise, I hope you enjoyed my selection of, for the most part, longer tracks. I felt that you'd heard quite enough of my voice the previous week! However, the next show will take us back to Brazil again to look at all the other elements that we didn't cover in the 'Samba to MPB' programme, so I'll be rabbiting on again!

ADVENTURES IN THE DIN TRADE – programme 12. Friday 22nd JULY

This week's show was a little more adventurous then usual, being as it was an attempt to give an overview of the evolution of Brazilian popular song, but I hope you found it interesting.

Catch-ups and completion - guitarists part four

Last Friday's programme concluded my series about guitarists.

I know that for many people there are glaring omissions in my choices but the point is that they are my choices. As usual, for further information about any of these tracks, please get in touch and I will be only too happy to give you chapter and verse!

Another random selection

This week was unthemed  - it was just a bunch of favourites pulled out more or less at random, but nevertheless, I hope you found it to be a fairly balanced show. We'll be returning to the guitars again next week. Having got as far as 'R', I now have discovered yet another bunch of players that I've managed to miss, so I've had to back track a lttle. Still, nobody's perfect eh? Incidentally, my spell checker insists that there is no such word as 'unthemed' an suggests that I might mean 'Gunther'

I just thought Id mention it...

Que Belo Castelo in Hayle

For those of you who wish to see Voltarol putting his money where his mouth is, why not come along to The Cornish Arms, Commercial Road,  Hayle on Saturday night? Qe Belo Castelo are playing an informal session from 9 p. m.  onwards . We will be  a four piece line up for this evening as our flute player is away at the moment but Dan Hughes has now joined us full time and his clarinet will be well to the fore. There may well also be some guest sitters-in.... see you there then.

Guitarists part 4

Well - here's the playlist for last Friday's show. I mentioned that I'd previously played a version of 'Vera Cruz' on an earlier show but then had a senior moment and couldn't remember which version it was.

PLAYLIST UPDATE

Here's the playlist from last Friday's programme - if a little later than promised. Usual rules apply: If you want anymore information about any of the tracks and can't be bothered to Google them then contact me via the blog. Incidentally, as from Friday 10th June you will, for the time being, also be able to hear the show on the fledgling Redruth Radio. The next show goes out tomorrow as usual at 1 pm on The Source FM. Redruth Radio will continue to stream it until their own roster of presenters is full, so if you live in the Redruth area and are interested in doing a show for them then do make contact with them and put your name in the frame.

If you want to know more about anything that I play on the show then by all means contact me via the blog. Happy listening!

p.s.Normal service on the blog will be resumed as soon as possible. I'll be back with more of the John McCartney story in the near future
