Oh that's sad.  I'm not sure if he was the bassist at any of the shows I went to, but I believe he was on Gandine Il Vento/Symphony of Light.  R.I.P

Rave Tesar just confirmed via a video on FB that there will be an orchestrated version of Ashes Are Burning in these shows!  Shared a little sample of how it's going to sound.  

Oh, and McCarty is coming to the Keswick Show.  Never in doubt, all the highlights will be in the Keswick Show, including the filming.

thanks for the update Madan.  Lots to look forward to.  I wonder if that show will have some songs only performed there?  And which songs?  I'd love to hear a few of the better Illusion tracks, like Madonna Blue, Isadora, Beautiful Country, the Revolutionary, etc, etc, and of course one of the most underrated early Ren songs, "On the Frontier"

I don't know that they will venture so deep into Illusion territory when there are many Ren mk-ii songs they are looking to bring back on stage or add orchestration to. If I had to guess, they will probably do Island with McCarty.

^yeah maybe you're right.  They can't diverge too much for the sake of one show I suppose, but it would be neat.

Of course it won't happen until Annie makes peace with it, but perhaps we could hear "Camera Camera"?  Tongue

Maybe if Tesar could sell her an orchestrated version thereof....

Folks, two days to go and they are $6400 or so short. There's going to be an orchestrated Ashes, McCarty is coming, it's gonna be great. So let's make it happen. If the kind folks at PA chip in, it surely will.

I'll get right on it...I think last time they extended it and ended up reaching their goals.
trying to decide whether to get my name in the video end credits for $250 or just go with the $75 donation!

Not sure how I feel about an Orchestral "Ashes" but whatever!

I am holding out hope for "On the Frontier" since it was a McCarty/Thatcher composition as was "Spare Some Love"

They exceeded it since the time you contributed. Annie posted a nice thank you message on FB.

Nice to see Betty get some recognition. She was the best artist lyricist ever, far surpassing Peter Sinfeld and a match for Keith Reid.

and next Saturday is the concert at the Keswick in Glenside PA with Jim McCarty as special guest and the chamber orchestra.  I only wish it could be an entire weekend comprising the different configurations like the Strawbs 50th was, but it will have to do!

Agreed, I too like her work more than Sinfeld as influential as the latter was.

They have yet to get back to me with possible dates though I 'bought'it. I presume it will be after the shows.

McCarty was there for the New York show, unexpectedly. And they are going to do Day of the Dreamer too.
