about

In the 1980s, all-star roots dance band Tiger Moth – Rod Stradling, Jon Moore, Maggie Holland, Chris Coe, Ian Anderson, John Maxwell, Ian Carter – took playing for English country dancing on a rowdy expedition to places it had never been before. Venerable English hornpipes went on a world cruise, Italian tunes got played as Tex-Mex polkas with a Zairean lilt and schottisches filled up with Greek riffs. In the studio as Orchestre Super Moth they teamed up with world music stars of the day like Dembo Konte, Kausu Kuyateh, Flaco Jimenez, Hijaz Mustapha and Abdul Tee-Jay. Completely remastered, this expanded compilation includes the best of their two albums, singles, 12”s and rare tracks, and a bonus 2004 remix by Simon Emmerson & Mass.

Serpent's Tears
by Richard Thompson

supported by 7 fans who also own “Mothballs plus”

There's a similarity in song writing between Richard Thompson and Hugh Cornwell which maybe isn't surprising as they went to the same school at the same time, although Thompson is older. Due to Thompson's association with John French of Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band I searched for his work on the Bandcamp app. French, Thompson and Cornwell all have albums on the app which I'm very pleased about. Only Thompson has released contemporary albums, much to his credit.

Bloody Noses EP
by Richard Thompson

supported by 6 fans who also own “Mothballs plus”

John Drumbo French from Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band worked with Thompson on two albums along with Fred Frith and Henry Kaiser. Those two French, Frith, Kaiser and Thompson albums led me to this. Also, Richard Thompson taught Hugh Cornwell (of The Stranglers) how to play the bass guitar in a band when they were both at the same school (Emil and The Detectives?). With a career spanning 50 years and playing with two of my heroes (French and Cornwell) Thompson has produced a fascinating EP.
