Yes, in spite of his considerable reservations, I do believe Junior quite enjoyed the show last night.

It was a rich musical treat, so he did well to sit still for the two and a half hours they played. It helped […]

phenomenal player – ah, the demon drink

Great to meet you Junior and the lovely Ingrid. Mrs Wells fondness for The Clash gave her instant cred and the evening flew by. We made stops in Africa – lots of chat about Afrobeat and West African musicians like […]

I do indeed have a couple and you’d be welcome to come and get them if you’re in the vicinity of St. Heliers (a 15 min drive along the waterfront east of Auckland).

Failing that, our budget household store is […]

it appears on ‘Holland’ and was the b-side of ‘Sail On Sailor’.

Nicely put Tig, yes I can imagine Paul ripping it up with Lowell and Richie.
I think there was always a high degree of tension in the band. Lowell said there were times when they hated each other, but as he […]

Here’s the official word from the band website:

Here’s the Feat live in 1977 and the Paul Barrere tune ‘All That You Dream’.

Lady Rose by Mungo Jerry
Slade Alive!
Graceland by Paul Simon
Slade & SAHB, Earl’s Court 1973

Oh yes Martin, that is good. Might have to invest in this. I have fond memories of seeing The Musical Box playing Selling England in its entirety at the Albert Hall about 15 years ago. Hackett came on for the […]

Clog rockers Golden Earring followed up their smash hit Radar Love with a song about a washing machine. Someone had the brilliant idea that they should film the promotional video on a household waste dump, which […]

Thanks Junes, I’m going through a bit of a Dylan binge-fest at the moment. I’m still getting my recent NY trip out of my system.
Just finished reading David Hadju’s excellent ‘Positively 4th Street’ about […]

Wally Stott’s work with Scott Walker is glorious

There’s a poignant moment in the 30th Century Man documentary where Stott is hearing this for the first time in many years, probably since the 1960s. He/she see […]

They put on a great show last night. Campbell does provide the grit for sure. He took the vocal as well guitar duties on Oh Well and handled the edgier stuff like World Turning comfortably.
Neil got a lovely […]

We lived on Shaftesbury Avenue from 62-66 before moving to Pinner, so yes I remember Lascelles and the Birds Nest. I was still a nipper, so attended Grange primary school before we moved and I then went to Cannon Lane.

No, well I seem to recall from our previous chat about it, that your experience was similar to mine, which may not result in much fond reminiscence. But hey ho, character-forming and all that.

As for […]

Flipping through that thread, I’m not surprised he left, with the amount of bickering going on.

In answer to your other question @arthur-cowslip about why these posts suddenly appear on your homepage, I believe […]

can’t wait to read it
