Guest: Bridget St. John.
When the most famous DJ in the world champions you and decides to open a record label specifically to record and market your music, well, you're doing something right.
Bridget St. John's name may not be as widely known as some of her British folk contemporaries, but her music is deserving of attention for any fan of the genre.
Recording her first three albums for John Peel's Dandelion label between 1969 and 1972 she released consistently high quality work, garnering excellent reviews. A fourth album followed for Chrysalis a couple years later and then...silience. Nothing for 20 years. After a long delay, she's back recording and touring again and sounding better than ever.
Bridget recalls stories of meeting John Martyn, playing with Michael Chapman, recording demos at Al Stewart's house, hearing David Bowie's acetate of a famous song before it was released and being in an uncomfortable car ride with Jethro Tull when they fired Mick Abrahams.
It's a shame Bridget's work didn't find a wider audience as her songwriting and guitar skills are only outshined by her exquisite voice.
I hope you dig Songs For The Gentle Man as much as I do.
