[Robson]

I. Sometimes I miss a pedal steel guitar.

Paul Franklin anyone?

If you've heard Aly Bain live you'd want him on the album on fiddle.  Tremendous with Phil Cunningham.

Aly Bain - simply amazing!!!

Aly and Phil with the rest of the folkies at Transatlantic Sessions is not to be missed!

Alas, I've only heard various pieces via the televised TAS and youtube of Aly, Phil & friends and they are all amazing together...

Here's them playing a well known ditty.

Thanks for that, KF!   Try to see them sometime when they're down your way!

Thanks Superval, oh we will if they ever come close (ish) I did keep an eye on John Mccusker touring with his band but they've postponed their shows I believe....

Mike McGoldrick is essential!   

Absolutely! 

[NicoMK]

Mike McGoldrick is essential!   

With all respect, for what? Not that I don't like him but I've always felt that he and John McC. were clones.
Flute, guitars and cittern? John Mc C. can handle them so I picked-up John but I could've picked up Mike instead.

Tim O'Brien was great too btw.

Ok, no Mike means no pipes... 

[NicoMK]

FULL band members is :

MK: guitars, vocals
Robbie McIntosh : guitars
Richard Bennett : guitars
Marcus Cliffe : bass
Guy Fletcher: keyboards and additional bass
John Mc Custer: mandolin, cittern
Stuart Duncan : violin
Matt Rollings : piano, backing vocals
And of course :
Danny Cummings : drums, percussion, backing vocals.

I'll pay quite a lot of money to see this. Well, dreaming is not forbidden (yet).

Great lineup and I, like you would pay a bit of dosh to see that in your dreamworld!!

You're very welcome then

Fiddle and pipes aside, I do wonder how John and Mike’s parts get “divvied up.”
How come, for example, John played whistle on the last tour during STP and Mike played tenor guitar?

I have said before that I wish Mark would get back to the country ish thing he was doing years ago, and a big part of that is Paul Franklin. As long as he goes away from the Brass type thing he has been doing lately I will be happy.

I agree.  I think a lot of the country stuff he does is very good.  Some of the country songs on OES and GH were fantastic.

I feel the same. I absolutely loved the Golden Heart "Irish" period and what goes from there to, let's say the Get Lucky album. Not a big fan of what came after but it's a question of personal taste and I perfectly understand that others may love Privateering and the following albums.

But for God's sake, before I'm dead I'd love to have a record and tour with personnel like Danny and Matt again, and Robbie and Marcus. The 2002 "Friends" band sounded SO great, and I was there! Stuart Duncan was very cool to have in the band in 2006 too. I loved his rendition of (the rarely played) Done with Bonaparte.

Dream mode still # on.

Exactly my thoughts! 
Let's hope for the new album that he will leave out the brass and gets back to his roots again.
