Saturday brings twists of country to the Newport Folk Festival
Advertisement There was much more in between, of course, both of folk and allied roots forms. on 'Exile.' Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Bonny Light Horseman performs at the Fort Stage on Saturday at the Newport Folk Festival. Heather Diehl/For The Boston Globe Their performance Saturday concentrated on songs from their latest record, 'Keep Me on Your Mind/See You Free,' along with a couple of older favorites. All of it served to display the band's singular sensibility as well as the marvelous twining harmonies produced by Johnson and the third Horseman, Anaïs Mitchell. Advertisement With his recent debut solo release, 'American Romance,' Lukas Nelson is touring under his own name, and so he came back to Newport in a new guise, without his long-running band Promise of the Real. That new guise leaned country, from the short back-and-sides and the cowboy hat Nelson sported, to the songs he played, and it brought a lot of looking back. He started with the first song he ever wrote, at age 11, the fiddle and steel-filled 'You Were It.' He prefaced 'Just Outside Of Austin' by saying 'let's go home,' and he sounded like he was channeling dad Willie Nelson's voice and guitar as he sang and played it. Later, he tacked a run-though of Willie's classic 'Bloody Mary Morning' onto his own 'Ladder of Love.' He ended with the title song from his new album, a song inspired by the life he lived coming of age on the road with his father. Katie Crutchfield, in the guise of her Waxahatchee project, has also been doing something new of late, exploring country-folk territory with her elliptical lyrics and her remarkable, off-kilter vocal style on her latest LP, 'Tigers Blood.' The bulk of what she played Saturday came from that record, along with one ('Problem With It') from Given that several of the songs on the new record are also evocative of Bob Dylan, it seemed apropos to be hearing them at Newport in the wake of last year's Dylan biopic, Advertisement Waxahatchee performs at the Fort stage in Fort Adams State Park on the second day of the Newport Folk Festival. Heather Diehl/For The Boston Globe What was new about He sang seated for most of the set; his band was more acoustic, and more dialed back (until he brought it home by going electric) and he featured songs from the understated acoustic 'Fathers & Sons' project that he released last year (one of them, 'Whoever You Turn Out to Be,' written about and for his sons, caused the heart-on-his-sleeve Combs to choke up mid-song). Fans enjoy Waxahatchee's performance during the second day of the Newport Folk Festival. Heather Diehl/For The Boston Globe He added a couple of covers, too: Darrell Scott's deep-holler lament 'You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive,' and, yes, 'The Times They Are A-Changin'' (his version following Keb' Mo's, Combs noted). If at the end of the day, much of what we heard still sounded a lot like the mainstream country world from which it came, Combs attempted to fit what he did to where he was, and he largely succeeded.

Man Utd closing in on new summer arrival with Jason Wilcox leading the search
Manchester United have been searching for a new assistant manager to work alongside under-21s boss Travis Binnion and they've decided on their preferred candidate in David Horseman Manchester United are closing in on appointing a new assistant manager for their under-21 side. David Horseman, who was a first-team coach at Bristol Rovers last season, is set to be announced as David Hughes' successor in the vacant role. Horseman, 41, will work alongside U21s manager Travis Binnion, who's been searching for a new assistant since Hughes became the boss of League Two side Newport County. In May, Bristol Rovers confirmed that the Englishman would be leaving the club following their relegation to the fourth tier. The previous campaign, Horseman spent just shy of six months in charge of Forest Green Rovers, winning only four games. Prior to that, the 41-year-old led Southampton's B team between 2019 and 2023. It was at St Mary's where he and United chief Jason Wilcox crossed paths. The Manchester Evening News report that ex-Saints director of football Wilcox is overseeing changes to United's academy and led the search which resulted in Horseman's appointment. Wilcox, who formerly headed up Manchester City's academy, was recently promoted from his role as technical director to become the Red Devils' new director of football. His work at Old Trafford has earned praise from co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who ruthlessly sacked United's last sporting director, Dan Ashworth, after just five months. During an interview with the Times, Ratcliffe hailed: "Jason, for me, is a guy at the coal face. He ran the academy at Manchester City. Txiki Begiristain, I know, thought Jason had the best eyes in the club. "He's a warm character, he's got a sense of humour, he knows what he's talking about, he's got a really good relationship with Ruben [Amorim]. So, you know, if you compare that with last season when we had Erik [ten Hag] and John Murtough (United's former football director), it's chalk and cheese." Where will Manchester United finish next season? Give us your prediction in the comments section. Wilcox worked with United's CEO, Omar Berrada, while at City. His promotion reflected his increased responsibilities at Old Trafford, with Sir Dave Brailsford having decided to step back from his day-to-day involvement. During his playing career, Wilcox helped Blackburn Rovers win the Premier League title in 1995. He earned three senior caps for England before starting his coaching career with City in 2012. After five years working his way up, Wilcox was appointed their academy director. In 2023, following more than a decade for City, he made the move to Southampton.

Definitely nae Fantails were allowed at our pigeon Airbnb in Leith
One hobby which Steve Cardownie immersed himself in during his youth was keeping pigeons I recently bumped into an old friend of mine who I grew up with in Leith. I used to stay in Cannon Street and he lived around the corner in, what was then, Albany Street. Sign up to our daily newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up! Did you know with a Digital Subscription to Edinburgh News, you can get unlimited access to the website including our premium content, as well as benefiting from fewer ads, loyalty rewards and much more. Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... We recounted the events of our youth and the exploits (some dubious) that filled our days. One hobby which we totally immersed ourselves in was keeping pigeons. Our favourite bird was the Horseman, or Pouter. Handsome creatures that inflated the pout on their necks to strut around the 'dookit' or flying in circles around the area impressing all who set eyes upon them, particularly the opposite sex of the same species. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad We would 'throw up' a bird (either a cock or a hen) depending on what some rival 'dookit' was flying, with the objective of attracting their bird to our 'dookit.' It would then be taken up to 'Ernie's' in Leith Street and sold on. However, we also ran the risk of our bird being enticed to the rival 'dookit' and we would be out of pocket, so choosing the right bird to fly at the right time was the most important decision to be made. Former Scotland footballer, Duncan Ferguson, built a complex structure to house his 3200 pigeons in Formby, Southport. It was reported that he invested roughly £1000 per bird as their accommodation was described as 'luxurious'. He unfortunately fell foul of his neighbours who complained about the noise so, undeterred, he invested around £120,000 to install soundproofing in every pigeon cage throughout the whole complex. So, Duncan's pigeons live in the equivalent of The Beverley Hills Hotel while ours had the run of an Air BnB (pun intended) Although modest, it was comfortable and clean, and our pigeons were well looked after. In addition to Horsemen, we also kept Homers and Tumblers, but definitely – 'nae Fantails'.

'Now You See Me' is back after almost a decade. Here's what to know about the third film of the heist franchise.
The "Now You See Me" franchise is back nine years after the second film was released. "Now You See Me, Now You Don't" continues the story of a secret organization of magicians, called the Four Horsemen, who pull off seemingly impossible heists and take down criminals. The two previous films did reasonably well for a studio movie at the box office, each making over $300 million worldwide. The first film, released in 2013, performed better than its 2016 sequel. Jon Feltheimer, the CEO of Lionsgate, which produces and distributes the "Now You See Me" franchise, told analysts on a conference call about quarterly earning in 2015 that a third film was in the works, Variety reported. The project did not pick up steam until last year, following a trend of major studios relying more on remakes or sequels to attract audiences to theaters. "Now You See Me, Now You Don't" will be released in theaters on November 14, a week before the highly anticipated " Wicked" sequel, which could impact the heist film's box office performance. Isla Fisher returns to the 'Now You See Me' franchise, alongside new actors Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, and Dave Franco starred in the first film as four talented magicians — J. Daniel Atlas, Merritt McKinney, Henley Reeves, and Jack Wilder — who join a mysterious organization called the Eye and form the Four Horsemen. Fisher wasn't in "Now You See Me 2" — she was pregnant when it was filmed — but she is back for the third film, alongside Harrelson, Eisenberg, Franco, and Morgan Freeman, who plays Thaddeus Bradley, the leader of the Eye. Lizzy Caplan, who played Lulu in "Now You See Me 2" and replaced Fisher's character Henley as the fourth Horseman, has not been cast in the third film. Mark Ruffalo, who played the Four Horsemen's mastermind, Dylan Rhodes, is also notably absent from the third movie's cast. Rosamund Pike has joined the franchise to play Veronika Vanderberg, the head of a global criminal network. Justice Smith, Dominic Sessa, and Ariana Greenblatt play a new group of magicians who Eisenberg's character recruits to the Eye. The trailer for 'Now You See Me, Now You Don't' hints that the old guard and the new magicians will work together A trailer, released on Tuesday, gives the first hints at the plot of the third film. Daniel recruits three magicians to take down Veronika's criminal empire. He tells the magicians he doesn't want to work with the other Horsemen because they are "dead" to him, but Henley, Jack, and Meritt show up to help anyway. Thaddeus appears to be leading the Eye despite handing over the reins of the organization to Dylan in the final scene of "Now You See Me 2." Variety reported that Adam Fogelson, Lionsgate's motion picture group chair, said at CinemaCon in April that a fourth "Now You See Me" movie is in development. The third film may end with a tease for the next installment in the franchise. Ruben Fleischer directed the third film and will direct the fourth, too.
