Project SALT was founded in order to raise money to restore the old salt silo on Drelnes in Trongisvágur in Suðuroy, Faroe Islands. As the name says, the silo used to be used for salt storage, but it is a great building and now a ruin, and the plan is to restore it into a cultural centre for conserts and for art exhibitions. On 15 May 2010 there was an aid consert, where several well known Faroese musicians, singers and bands were performing for free. The population of Suðuroy is around 5000 people, the night of the consert more than 1200 people, many people came from the other islands. Some of the names are also known abroad, Eivør and Teitur are both famous in other counties than here in the Faroes. It was raining a part of the evening, unfurtunately, and because the roof was not perfect, the rain was pouring down inside the silo in some places. Eivør almost cancelled her performance because of the rain, but luckily for us who were there, she didn't cancel. The participants of the consert were: Tóra Vestergaard (Ave Maria), Cantabile (Choir), Havnar Hornorkestur (Brass band of Tórshavn), Uni Arge, Oniontree, Martin Joensen – guest LÃv Næs, Hallur Joensen, Crawling blue – guest Sámal Ravnsfjall, Deiggj, Brandur Enni – guest Tróndur Enni, Tinganest, Harkaliðið, Jens Marni Hansen, Eivør and Mpiri (choir), Teitur and Mpiri, Frændur – guest Terji Rasmussen.
Vintage movie publicity portrait photo of singer Paul Jones (Manfred Mann) as deified rock star Steven Shorter in the film Privilege. I saw this movie in a theater when I was in high school. Probably a little ahead of its time for the targeted teenaged audience. This found photograph is from the private collection of an unknown and/or unknowing art collector. It’s always a thrill when it’s from Vinnie DeVille!
Saw him a generation ago (1980) at the long-gone, legendary Glasgow Apollo. Charismatic star at a perfect venue.
Unbelievably, he died in 1981.

This from the fine CD remaster/expand with informative booklet, but the original vinyl (now passed on to one of our offspring) had 99% of this image on the rear.
Released here in 1968 when rock music was peaking in creativity. Love shared the Elektra label at the time with The Doors who eventually eclipsed Arthur Lee's bands in output and popularity. However, those who recall - and newcomers who are still being amazed by this creation - know there will always be a place for "Forever Changes" when great music
recordings are discussed. Arthur Lee is the guy being surreal with the broken jug. Bryan MacLean is second from the left. He wrote "Alone again or" and "Old man".
Buy this album if you don't own it, and support (some) of the people. or their families, who created and got it out to us. Someone in your circle will LoVE it, even if you don't.
