I think it’s going to be MWP eventually. He’s doing some lovely “Making of…” updates on his blog/FB page.

This chimes very much with the conversation I had last night with some chums who have also seen this tour, although on their night PY went on second. There are reviews of the Whitesnake/Foreigner/Europe tour which […]

The crash cymbal in ‘Hurricane’. On one studio expedition I was involved in, the engineer spotted our drummer’s and sagely instructed that he was allowed to use it twice. Per day.

I sold my vinyl copy of Weld which enable me to buy the Rust Bucket box for approximately the same money. Happy days.

My immediate go-to Meatloaf memory was Sir Mark Ellen’s account of trying to interview him. Also, wasn’t there a gig review where someone recalled the audience throwing a wheelchair at him?

*when I say ‘fully miked’ I mean the full three Neumann set up pointing at someone who was about to play children’s xylophone on “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper”. You should have seen our engineer’s face…

I’m guessing I saw them either the day before or the day after at the Ipswich Gaumont.

I first came across my friend Pete Pawsey when the bass player in our band brought to me a track called ‘Postcard’, which involved some late night jazz noodling in the background, and […]

Skirky commented on the post, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band – The Legendary 1979 No Nukes Concerts 8 months, 4 weeks ago

It appears to be only the prism of history that has painted The Clash as the rebel rousers and The E-Street Band, what with their keyboards and saxophone, as the old school.

My Father-in-law played in goal against him once. Through in a one-on-one, Greavsie called out “to your right!” Thinking he’d been bluffed, Dad went to his left leaving an open goal, which JG duly slotted the b […]

Further to the release of the Space Summit single “I’m Electric” in the summer of 2021, notoriously work-shy* fop Marty Willson-Piper has put the finishing touches to his colla […]

Is there only one Brad Breath? I thought it was a franchise, like being the lead guitarist in Kiss – “Here’s your make up bag and a mirror, now be on stage in ten minutes, playing ‘God of Thunder’. No, E minor…” […]

Last time I saw him was with one of those guitarists who you can tell a mile off is quite the talent and slumming it with some mates, but who you can’t quite place. Turned out it was Andy Roberts. h […]
