Barbara Thompson

Live at the BBC

Vol. 14

The final part of this brilliant collection.

It hasn't proved that popular in download numbers

but I've really enjoyed it all anyway

and well done to anyone who has DL'd them.

This was, apprently, recorded at Marlow F.C.'s premises.

Come on you Blues! :)

Nice to hear Barbara introducing the pieces.

Makes a change from the usual BBC stuffed-shirts

although Peter Clayton holds up the stuffed-shirt end on the intro/outro.

Barbara was an exceptional musician and composer, sadly missed.

On re-listening, before posting, I was particularly taken by 'A Cry from the Heart'.

For a few miniutes I forgot about everything else

which is as good as recommendation as any.
