Richard Harvey was born in London on this day in 1953. I have his wonderful Concerto Antico which he composed for the guitarist John Williams. I hadnât realised just how prolific he is, nor the high esteem in which he is held. Composer, conductor and highly skilled multi-instrumentalist, heâs a graduate of the Royal Academy of Music and has, in his personal arsenal, over 700 different musical instruments from various places around the globe. From the age of four, apparently, there was never any question about what he was going to do with his life! Lucky him.
Originally with Medieval prog rock band Gryphon, he has also been a session muso for Kate Bush, Gerry Rafferty and Gordon Giltrap, had a new wave band called The Banned, and spent some time with Maurice Jarre which led to his own work on soundtracks and production music. Heâs made over 80 scores for TV and film and also worked as a musician on such diverse creations as The Dirty Dozen, The Da Vinci Code, The Lion King and Harry Potter!! Heâs also worked with Elvis Costello co-writing the music for a TV series, and extensively with John Williams and the London Symphony Orchestra.
From a Gryphon reunion and Midnight Mushrumps which is one of the more bizarre album titles Iâve come across. Ok â so thatâs Shakespearian English for mushrooms, and now it all makes sense â psychedelic seventies, lol! - [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_gr3l-GEjQ"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_gr3l-GEjQ

From his production music album Strings of Sorrow â âHidden Forcesâ - [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83eLy1XDgsE"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83eLy1XDgsE

Iâm including this first movement from Concerto Antico because thereâs a nice write-up by the uploader and besides, itâs gorgeous - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEQ1-NOL06M
⦠and the third of the five movements â âCantilenaâ. Great clip, I think â the artwork suits it well. Instrumental/Classical alert!!!

One for the 'to buy' list! Any idea who the artwork is by? - exquisite!

^Yes â the painter is Russian born, Alexei Butirskiy. Immensely appealing work â I wouldnât mind having one or two of those hanging around!

His Sartorial Highness, aka Bryan Ferry (CBE), turns 70 today. Somehow, he manages to pull off everything he does with a great deal of flair and a distinctive, trademark sound, even when itâs covers. To me, he doesnât attempt to emulate anyone, as in Dylanesque, (which Iâm sure Iâve mentioned before) but rather, puts his very own spin on things. I like that album, especially his version of âPositively Fourth Streetâ - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VW-MTglbHU.
Such an extensive discography with Roxy Music, and solo, etc., and so many great songs make it difficult to choose clips, sooo â because today is also, coincidentally, the anniversary of Robert Palmerâs death â hereâs BFâs cover of âJohnny and Maryâ from his latest, Avonmore â https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Din_eWjJWe0
⦠and because Mark Knopfler makes an appearance on Avonmore too (and heâs been a little neglected lately, lol!) -

Barbara Ruth Dickson, OBE was born on this day in 1947, in Dunfermline, Scotland. Her singles will probably have filtered into most people's consciousness somewhere along the line - they seem to have always been around! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbara_Dickson. According to wiki ââThe Scotsman newspaper has described her as Scotland's best-selling female singer in terms of the numbers of hit chart singles and albums she has achieved in the UK since 1976â.
I think she mostly recorded covers, and of those, I'm best acquainted with two of Mike Battâs songs â
The Caravan song - [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-GLqF-0Dg0"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-GLqF-0Dg0

⦠and whilst I prefer Roger Chapman doing this, thereâs no denying the merits of her version â

Paul Burgess was born on this day in 1950, in Manchester, England. Heâs a rock drummer and has been a recording or touring member (or both) of Camel, 10CC, Jethro Tull, Magna Carta, as well as done session work for Joan Armatrading and Chris Farlowe, just to drop a few illustrious names! I donât think he has any trouble finding work.
Heâs on two studio, and two live albums with Camel â from the first recording he made with them â Stationary Traveller â the title track (instrumental) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkhR1L37mt8, and for the sake of balance, a vocal â "Refugee" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6QCKXSvL2o
... and from 10cc's Deceptive Bends - (if I'm not mistaken, the second drummer is Stuart Tosh)
