Remembering Django Reinhardt, born on this day in 1910 in Liberchies, Pont-à-Celles, Belgium. Here he is with violinist Stéphane Grappelli and their band the Quintette du Hot Club de France performing "J'Attendrai" in 1938.

A small nice thing for the new year: our excellent @MOJOmagazine offer to new subscribers is back in play. Get 3 copies of MOJO for just £5 - 3 for $12.15 if you’re in the US (and thanks to everyone who took out a subscription in 2020; it really helped). https://t.co/TBKFQx53fD

Happy 115th birthday to our founder Moses Asch! Fun fact: Asch never deleted a single title from the Folkways catalogue. As he said, "Just because the letter J is less popular than the letter S, you don't take it out of the dictionary."

@iamthemanta @MikeDiver I’m still striving!

Remembering Cajun accordionist Alphonse "Bois Sec" Ardoin, born on this day in 1915 in Duralde, Louisiana. Here he is with fiddler Canray Fontenot performing the "Eunice Two Step" in 1966.

A visual demonstration of the power of sound to create order out of chaos.

@stephengershon Lanterne rouge could be for the songs not good enough to be on the record?

[Alun Woodward @LordCutGlass]

We just ran out of cycling terms we liked.

[Graeme Boswell 🚵🏻‍♂️🎸 @graeme_boswell]

@LordCutGlass - the great eastern was the first @delgados_the album not named after cycling. Did the rest of the band put their feet down ?😂😂#TimsTwitterListeningParty

@iffyfolkrecords @emmaspollock Arm wrestle and I can confirm emma has some serious biceps.

[Alun Woodward @LordCutGlass]

@EDouglasWW @emmaspollock It would have been tricky so we toured with a string section, flautist and keyboard player

[Paul Savage @chemikaljanitor]

Is it over? I felt like the Wizard of Oz pulling levers there...trying to deal with both @delgados and this account. Thanks to everyone who listened and @Tim_Burgess @LlSTENlNG_PARTY for asking us to take part #TimsTwitterListeningParty

[Alun Woodward @LordCutGlass]

Thanks for listening with us. #TimsTwitterListeningParty

[Alun Woodward @LordCutGlass]

Perfect bookend, from the chaos of The Past That Suits You Best to end with this beautiful plaintiff calmness. #TimsTwitterListeningParty

[Alun Woodward @LordCutGlass]

Thanks pal.

[Emma Pollock @emmaspollock]

This is such a gorgeous song from Mr Woodward @LordCutGlass. The tempo of everything had slowed considerably by this point compared to our debut in 1995 and this was a great example of the weight that the slower song could carry I think...

[Alun Woodward @LordCutGlass]

I read about a couple who killed their son, the article was very scientific regarding the forensic applications and emphasis on good practice gaining convictions. The song is the other side, just the horrific emptiness. #TimsTwitterListeningParty

[Alun Woodward @LordCutGlass]

Lyrically things were often a bit dark #TimsTwitterListeningParty

[Alun Woodward @LordCutGlass]

sometimes solo guitar lines and harmonies!

[Emma Pollock @emmaspollock]

Being in The Delgados was hard work. They made me sing and play solo guitar lines at the same time. Aye Today a good example. #TimsTwitterListeningParty

[Alun Woodward @LordCutGlass]

Camille is such an intuitive musician, the flute on this is so great. #TimsTwitterListeningParty

[Alun Woodward @LordCutGlass]

Lovely guitar part from @emmaspollock here. #TimsTwitterListeningParty
