.......and never a bad time for the Wurzels, a pint of apples please, ice and a slice........ ...Pill Pill... Nice to see Mr_W starting to rehabilitate himself after that unfortunate Cliff Richard episode.... The genius of the late great Adge Cutler - one of this country's greatest poets. As a warning to the effect of partaking too much of the apple, have a look at this clip. It must be very disconcerting when a mad fan starts singing one of your greatest hits at you, but you would think that Reg "the man who put the Sod in Chipping Sodbury" Quantrill would recognise the song. |

Nice to see Mr_W starting to rehabilitate himself after that unfortunate Cliff Richard episode.... ........well, how very kind of you to notice, Jon - in further strides to attempt to integrate myself once again fully into muzo society in general and also to cleanse any remaining Richardgate-related detritus from my tainted soul forthwith, I offer the following from 6 Musics' recent rather excellent offerings - it was broadcast early this morning and one of the highlights was a splendid set of tracks performed by the mighty Steve Hackett from the Reading Festival in 1981 (he of Genesis etc fame).......... www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00rwm3t...........one of the best from the hour, if one checks out the track-listings, I think anyway, is "Ace Of Wands" - on his "Voyage Of The Acolyte" album from 1975 - as opposed to the theme music from the rather spooky kids show "Ace Of Wands" from the early 1970s entitled "Tarot", written and performed by Andy Bown (now with Status Quo as any fule kno) - this series was about a rather strange magician with an owl and possessing extraordinary supernatural powers - sound familiar, anyone? - and there was me thinking the girl Rowling had only shamelessly ripped off The Lord Of The Rings and the Narnia series of books........ ........the following contains a fantakkers review of the album by the way, and if one checks its home page, all sorts of proggy treats await - well worth checking out, Phil and Jon.......... starling.rinet.ru/music/hackett.htmstarling.rinet.ru/music/index.htm |

...........I heard rather a cracking version of the Dylan number "Watching The River Flow" played by Janice Long on Radio 2 early this morning - it was by the Rolling Stones (along with Bill Wyman who re-joined them for this number), its' on a charity album released to benefit The British Heart Foundation as a tribute to their late ex-fellow band member Ian Stewart, the album is "Boogie for Stu" which is released on 18 April 2011 - Mickey Pip and Da Boys at their dirty, bluesiest best, which is how I like them............. ........probably only of interest to Phil the Progmeister and me....... www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dpopular&field-keywords=boogie+for+stu ............now playing on 6 Music - "Windowlicker" by Aphix Twin (cripes!!!!!!)............ |

The Bells of Berlin - Lone Star
Saw them at Torquay Town Hall in the late seventies supported by Simplex. I think Simplex were fronted by a guy called Ford from TBGS but I might be wrong (can you confirm Mr W?):
The Lone Star gig was somewhat spoilt by some guy behind me repeatedly shouting 'The Bells' after every song. It was like shouting 'Hotel California' at an Eagles concert - why do people do that?

It was like shouting 'Hotel California' at an Eagles concert - why do people do that? .......Hi Mr_Bayern......... .................nice to chat again dude - about your query above concerning the band Simplex and "Ford from TBGS", I must be honest - I don't know of Ford (or them even) at all, can't recall that one, I left the Bay in 1978 for the RN see - oh, and congratulations on your latest award for Poster of the Week by the way - even I had one of those on here recently - still dunno how - most of the time when I'm typing on here I'm happily lost in space (off my fcuking swede) on Special Brew Snakebites - anyway I digress - our learned friend Jon (Head Sage & Historian) may possibly know for sure regarding Simplex and ya man Ford, failing that Stu Gordon, the bassist from Das Schnitz could probably help out regarding that, I have his ear via Friends Reunited and he has looked on here a while back, so I'll try to remember to mention it when I next e-mither him regarding a possible Das Schnitz Torquay gig to celebrate our 40th year of starting at TBGS (Sep 72) - he'll see it on here I hope...... ...........Anyway, you mention Lone Star, well heres' summat for ya, I know for a FACT Lone Star were one of Tim Dodge (the leader singer of Das Schnitz)'s favourite bands back in that era, he was a good mate of mine through to the 5th Form in '77 and I recall him talking about Lone Star a lot in the later days - possible coincidence?............ ............cheers Bayern, mines' an apple wine (ice n a slice) down the Railway or Clarence, Torre (if only they were still there) - hopefully seeya at THAT great Das Schnitz reunion as I mentioned above, lets' get on the case - anyone can get Guy Henderson onboard? - wouldn't THAT be summat?...... .......Chris Donovan (TBGS 1C, 2A1, 3A1, 4H, 5B - Sep 72 - Jul 77).......... ................................................................ ........whats playing now?............ ......Hit Me With Your Best Shot - Pat Benatar........ and ........Wild Horses - the late, sadly missed Gram Parsons & The Flying Burrito Brothers - bloody fantastic singer.......... finally ....Eve Of Destruction - The Dickies................... ...now THAT's music........ ......and for info...... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lone_Star_(band) |

.......Wowser, wowser, and wowser again - I see from Sky News that Roger Waters will be bringing "The Wall" on tour again to the UK for the first time in over 30 years - including 6 gigs at the O2 Arena in The Smoke (in May) to be filmed, also Manchester and Dublin - this IS going to be something - apparently with the uber-technological gubbinry and special laser effects available nowadays, the end result is going to be VERY spectacular indeed, to say the least.......... .........and in an interview with him by Sky, he stated that, even treble wowser cubed, David Gilmour "may well" join him on stage at a single gig for one number, probably "Comfortably "Numb" - pigs may never fly again after the legendary "all four Floyd reunion" at Live 8 in 2005, what with Richard Wrights' sad passing, but if ya man Gilmour does turn up, well, I reckon aforementioned pigs may well get up and do a quick boogie, if not actually get airborne...... ........I'm sure my learrned friend Phil_Chelstongull aka "Lord_Tanktop, The_Progmeister and Baron_of_the_Bongos" will be pleased to hear this news....... tour.rogerwaters.comen.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wall_Live_(concert_tour) ....currently playing on 6 Music.... 1. ......."Something You Should Know" - Friends Electric......... 2. .......snatches of "Out Of My Brain On The 5.15" - The Who - fantakkers........ 3. ......."The Impression That I Get" - The Mighty Mighty Bosstones........very nice indeed, shades of the mighty Dropkick Murphys (all ya best Pogues, Dubliners and Clash dreams rolled into one) here...... 4. ......."Burn Baby Burn" - Ash........... 5. ......."Good Morning Britain" - Aztec Camera/Mick Jones....... PS: .......don't forget, Radcliffe and Maconie start their afternoon Mon-Fri show on 6 Music from next Monday 1300-1600, deffo worth a listen......... |
