Friday Night is Music Night.
Apache Gary picked me up this week to drive to our outreach site. It was a wash out. It chucked it down in buckets, so we sat in the car waiting for the rain to ease off so we could erect our little marquee and listened to music. This came on. A track I could barely recall. I went to see Nick Drake when I was around 14 years old. He was playing at the Haworth arms and I snuck in and sat at the back away from the notice of the landlord. It was one of only a handful of live performances he ever gave before he took his life, but his mastery of the guitar and his song writing had already become legendry at a very early stage in his career.
Nick Drake had come to prominence in the late 60s out of the then thriving folksy scene, and subscribers of a certain age may know his best selling album 'Pink Moon', which is still worth a listen. This track is from the album 'Five leaves left', named after the warning slip in a packet of cigarette papers. In my opinion his most accomplished body of work. His arrangements always strangely haunting, he never matched the commercial success of Pink Moon and fell into a bout of severe depression.
His music underwent something of a revival around the turn of the century when I re-discovered this album. So many truly lovely compositions on it
Enjoy!

Go and wave your staff at him;
He has come to bury you
For claiming his fold.”

“Viable” = “Legal”?
I’ve not seen the word used in this context before. Also interesting that it’s the BBC where I hear it first.
This word could signify another loosening of the legitimate constraints on police behaviour. That would be in line with everything we are learning about Human Rights Lawyer Keir Starmer.
