U.K. Notes: Neil Young to headline Fleadh 2001
plus: Cast. Rod Stewart and Ron Wood collaborate. Bob Marley.
Neil Young will headline the Irish-influenced Fleadh 2001 music festival, organizers announced on Thursday (3/29). The festival will be held in London's Finsbury Park on June 16, and will feature the Waterboys, Gary Moore, Aimee Mann, Billy Bragg and the Blokes, Evan Dando and Teenage Fanclub, among others.
Fans have been asked to help name indie band Cast's new album via the band's official website. The band describes the sound of the album, which does not yet have a release date, as "hop and roll."
Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood, former members of the Faces, teamed up to record the track "You Strum and I'll Sing," according to British tabloid the Sun. Stewart also told the paper that the song was "like the really early old Faces stuff."
Although Stewart has not hinted at a release date for the song, he also said, "We have a lot of unreleased Faces tracks which we've made into a sort of Moby thing."
Universal Records will reissue Bob Marley and the Wailers' first big album, 1973's "Catch a Fire," on April 16. The original LP also features reggae legends Peter Tosh, Carlton and Anston Barratt and Bunny Livingston. The new edition will include the bonus tracks "High Tide or Low Tide" and "All Day All Night."
