Fingerpickin' Good!

It's been several months since I last Blipped a former guitarist from The Coral… www.blipfoto.com/entry/2232576006676285305 but today I got another opportunity!

Like his erstwhile colleague Bill Ryder-Jones before him, Lee Southall has now embarked upon an excellent solo career.

His album ‘Iron in the Fire’ features some lovely songwriting and lots of fingerpicking in a Bert Jansch style, and he showcased it today at Folk on the Dock before a rapt crowd.

Here’s ‘Yesterday Morning’ from the album. A song he wrote for his young daughter (“She’s not that keen on it…” he confided). www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApCBfJWt-s0

And, as a bonus, here are a youthful Lee and Bill performing ‘Dreaming of You’ with The Coral - 10 years ago www.youtube.com/watch?v=RftMl2pTCwo
