music in the shed


.... and finally , after years of backstage fights ; on stage fights ; drink related problems ; switching off guitarists amps halfway through a performance ; hitting keyboard players over their heads with their , em , keyboards ; throwing the drummers spare sticks across the stage ; arguing with and being assaulted by members of the audience , band , and road crew ; being arrested for assaulting a band member ; and after about a million and one line up changes ; in his old age Mark E Smith manages not to upset a band line up for long enough to get it to perform a gig with him in Norway ..........

" English Chelsea fan , This is your last game , We`re not Galatasaray , We`re Sparta FC ... ! ..... " ....... RIP Mark E Smith .... last of the great English poets ......

... the crowd were into that one, maybe there was a door prize for the best statue impersonation... "Fall" have their supporters in the music game, cannot say have heard much of their songs or performances, did they have a song "...out on bail"...... my imagination would have it so, j
 
My band is doing this version of the Runaways Joan Jet, You drive me wild.. Wanda Jackson brought it to me.... Eliza made it breath....

Then the versatile smouldering Eliza, love the room, stacked to the ceiling with cases and instruments, not a bad upright bass player, has to work the lady hands to get to the 42" scale bass.

 
This Gal is top notch, my favourite age, Art Deco, and latterly metal, "care to combine??" amazing.... love the band, we have a guest brass/sax man joining us next gig... he wants to use his trombone... startled me.... after Robyn in this clip..... who am i to be a nay sayer...

..... They are an acquired taste Jon ....... but were also quite popular with it , chart success even ......

A mate and myself were due to see them play live in January 1979 at the Trinity Hall in Bristol ... ( a converted church ) ..... Got the taxi there , but found the gig had been cancelled due to the drummer breaking a finger or something ..... so we did what we usually did when confronted with situations like this , and went on a tour of the cities pubs instead ......

Was planning to ride up to Cheltenham on the CB125J about a week later to catch them on part of the same tour , but heavy snow put me off .......

... Not sure about " out on bail " ........ but favourite Fall titles include " Spectre versus Rector ; City Hobgoblins ; and Rebellious Jukebox " ........

.... " Check the record , check the record , check the guy`s track record ...... He is not ..... appreciated .... "

Love the gals, Chris Bailey of the Saints out here must have taken a lead from this front man... not sure whom has the most out there music predilections... you or myself Tony. Neck and neck... grin j
 

When Martin Bramah left The Fall in 1979 , he went on to form The Blue Orchids ........ I probably play this more on YouTube now , than when I bought the single back in 1980 ........

I bought the re-packaged # 1 Record and Radio City albums which were re-released as a double set in the mid-seventies ...... This track has been covered by loads of people , including Garbage ; Kathryn Williams ; and Epic Soundtracks .....

.... and here`s Epic Soundtracks and his mates managing in 100 seconds what Status Quo lunched out on for the best part of forty years ......

........... Ripped and Torn was the rival London punk street fanzine to Mark Perrys` Sniffin` Glue , which Perry started with Danny Baker .............. Hence the line " Ripped and Torn made me a star " ...... ( Not a Big Star though ... ) ......

... False Start was another album I bought when it came out ........ 1970 and it was already their sixth studio effort .........

Jimi Hendrix joins in on this opening track ........ It begins in the middle of nowhere , and ends just as abruptly ......... but who cares ? ..... least of all them , obviously ......
 

..................... Yes it`s them again ...................... It`s late at night , and Mark gets the feeling he`s being followed by " something " on the walk home from the pub ......... " If it grabs my coat- tails , I will turn and hit it ... " .....
