PETER KIRTLEY & BAND (ex- PENTANGLE)

Folk Festival Leofels, Germany
14-Aug-1993 (only a small part of the show)
Label: none
Sound quality: very rough, hissy and sometimes distant audience tape (chatting included) / only for completists - I warned you
Lineage: Unknown master tapes (recorded with cheap SONY Walkman, no external mike) > tape copy on MAXELL XL II 90 (1993) > audacity (10/(2012)
Pitch corrected version!

Now this IS rare! The Festival at Leofels has always been something special for the music-lovers in the South of
Germany. I never missed a day. Unfortunately it is no more.
Starting in the mid-seventies as a pure Folk Festival it soon evolved its repertoire to Folk, Worldmusic, Blues,
Comedy, Rock, Classical Music, Jazz, Gospel and Soul.
After my release of the 1997 Leofels shows on Dime I did a little research on older tapes and finally found three old
ones from the 1993 festival in my vault. This here is number two. I also found short pieces of Anne Wylie's concert on another tape. This will follow later.
Like the 1997 soundboards these recordings were also done by my own self but I had totally forgotten about them
since the quality wasn't really good and they were only intended as a personal memory of a very fine festival.
I listened to the first tape yesterday and thought, well the sound isn't that bad ... and the music is just wonderful!

So here it is.

New to DIME! Never ever shared anywhere else before!

anymore.

Peter Kirtley Band
Peter Kirtley�s professionelle Laufbahn als Gitarrist begann 1966 mit dem legend�ren Alan Price Set. Anschlie�end bildete er mit Alan White ( sp�terer YES Drummer ) und Kenny Craddock (Keyboarder u.a. f�r Van Norrison und Gerry Rafferty) erg�nzt durch den Bassisten Colin Gibson die Band GRIFFIN. Die 90er Jahre brachten Peter Kirtley mit Bert Jansch zusammen, der ihn in dessen weithin bekannte Jazz-Folkformation PENTANGLE einf�hrte.
Seine Musik l�sst sich nicht in eine "Stilschublade" einordnen. Seine Vielseitigkeit reicht von swingendem Blues �ber Folk bis zu stark rockig angehauchten St�cken. Er wird unterst�tzt von Kenny Craddock (Keyboards) Steve Lamb (Bass) und Greg Lepperd (Drums, Percussion). (c) 1993
