“A rare chance to catch this quintessential English band play a gig in the quintessential English setting of a rural village hall. A unique opportunity to see the band delivering some top Trad. Arr. Tunes at a top Trad. Arr. venue. While you’re there you could also check out the Quantocks.”

I appreciate that this may well be a very silly question to those who are a good deal more capable with a computer than me, but given that the Roadwater recording is 88mins long, is there a way of splitting the file in order to burn it to CD? Many thanks in advance…
The downloads are very much appreciated. Chapeau!

The last time I used audacity it decompiled/recompiled each each time. This took a while when doing it for each track & reduced the quality. It also was a bit fiddly setting the split times.
I now use:

Just so much better all round IMO.

Cue File for the Roadwater Gig
http://rapidshare.com/files/417228996/HMHB_Roadwater_050809.cue
or http://jump.fm/DFBTJ
Not played all, but should be accurate enough to chop the file up with mp3dc.
Hope this helps…

Fantastic! A casual search for HMHB turned up your Reading 1990 recording. Lucky enough to be there, one of my most memorable gigs. Spectacles knocked off and trampled ‘down the front’ was a gague to amount of fun had. Found Stones t shirt by way of compensation, unfortunately it doesn’t fit any more! Cheers

This is an updated version of the Peel Session P.R.S Yearbook – Quick, the Drawbridge from a Gideon Coe show a few months ago. it’s a bit clearer & in stereo.
http://tinyurl.com/3rmcseb
It’s only available for seven days so download before it runs out.
Gideon occasionally plays their session material. If you hear of any download it using the program below or email here so I can rip it. It would be good to get good stereo copies of many of the Peel sessions tracks.
I used this to rip the stream to my hard-drive (see the Download section):
http://www.infradead.org/get_iplayer/html/get_iplayer.html
It’s a bit convoluted to set up (instructions are on the site) but once it’s up & running it works well. I then use the mp3 splitter I mentioned before to split the show up.

Fabulous quality 108-minute recording of the November 2010 Preston gig now available via Tarquin Live. Usual chore to download from Megaupload, unless you pay them £3, but that’s capitalism. There are worse options (worse than Megaupload, not worse than capitalism).
Note the file (like other good quality recordings) is in FLAC format, so make sure you can convert that if you’re expecting to bung it straight on the old iPod. But well worth the effort, this is the clearest live recording of the band that I’ve ever heard.

“There are worse options (worse than Megaupload, not worse than capitalism).”
There is no option worse than socialism? Are you serious? Or are you in unthinking socialist brainless comment mode? I’ve heard some shit in my time.
If I misinterpreted what you wrote, please forgive me. But I don’t think I did.

Calm down, it was just a flippant comment.

Sorry, flippant comment, yes. I shouldn’t get in a flap over a flippant comment.

Neil G – putting up gracefully with Student Union politics and economics is something you just need to do.
Or you could join the Wedding Present forum and argue all day there instead with people who still think that Pol Pot had a point, actually.

Yep me too, I’m looking for the Glastonbury ’86 mp3 or Flac, as I’ve misplaced my original copy. Unfortunately not able to use torrents.
All the best.
