Live @ Glasgow Pavillion 1990
A gem of a release entitled Live @ Glasgow Pavilion
A brilliant gig still talked about to this day, somehow found its way into Martin’s hands after a gig a a few years back.
We do know it was mixed and recorded by our sound man Mr Gerard Rolfe, whose company Coast to Coast hailed from Bradford.
This is the Daintees in effortless swing, “an absolutely brilliant gig” were the words of our mastering engineer Mark Lough last week as he was busy mastering.
The sound quality is outstanding with just one of two authentic crackles.

lyrics

Wholly humble heart

V1
Every man must have his castle, and feel a hand caress his nape
Everybody needs a good friend, to give their secrets too
I too am no exception, I too need to be loved
I too desire a good friend, hopefully that is you

Chorus
There is no time to kiss a statue, someone who purely looks the part
One who transcends onto another
Wholly humble heart

V2
I share a friend who is a gay boy, she tells me he is full of love
Let Malcolm too be no acceptation, I wish him someone to love
For it takes a while to rekindle, no matter how many you manage to fool
For the first bite makes the deepest teethmarks, those wounds take a pretty long time to heel

Chorus
There is no time to kiss a statue, someone who purely looks the part
One who transcends onto another
Wholly humble heart

Guillemot Days
by Anna Lavigne

supported by 18 fans who also own “Wholly humble heart”

Guillemot Days whisks us to a glistening shoreline, awash with 10 sublime songs full of serene hope. Compelling right from the buoyant opener Edge Of The World and Butterfly overflows with soaring, twangy sunshine. For a fave, so close with the lush vocals, melodic layers of Flowers Of Hope versus Peace And Plenty: an intriguing, modern parlour song both eerie and exquisite, voices and clarinet blending into something quite special. This album is a musical lighthouse on a dark day. Unmissable. anitajoyce

Swill's Sunday night Facebook live gigs have been a rare high point in a terrible year. A superb singer and songwriter, in fine voice and the guitars sounding gorgeous. A great collection of some fine moments and some TMTCH tracks rarely heard live for years. richardw27
