The Master’s Apprentices are right up there with my favourite bands. They reformed late 80s and I saw them at The Village Green Hotel in 1988. Lead singer Jim Keays continued on for many years and was joined by You Am I guitarist Davey Lane. Lane and brilliant Even guitarist Ash Naylor have a side hustle cover band Thee Marshmallow Overcoat and include Masters Apprentices tunes in their (mostly) b side renditions.
 
Yeah, The Masters were up there and some nice raw R&R from bands I do and don't remember.

I'm surprised The Loved Ones weren't on that list. IMO they really were doing material that didn't fit neatly into the pop genre - very original stuff, lots of triple time (3/4s and 6/8s), which was definitely not the norm. Gerry Humphrys was a standout.
 
Phil Jones and the Unknown Blues, great band in a great band era. "If i had a ticket" extra good, covered later by Ed Kuepper, a fav here to play. So many good Australian Bands, an era long gone....j

The Loved Ones were on the bill with The Masters Apprentices at the aforementioned 1988 gig.
 
These guys hailed from Birmingham UK, and gigged extensively during the 80s and early 90s.

Saw them many times at the 'Blues Nites' held at The Wheatsheaf in Walsall. Of all the really good bands who played there,
Strap-On-Jack (later renamed a venue-friendly True Grit..) were my favourite. I remember buying a copy of this from them on cassette.

Another band who played there regularly was called The DT's. Good band, very popular at the time.

Later on, the guitar player, a fellow called Steve Walwyn, played with Dr Feelgood for a fair while.

He was, as you might expect, very good. Seemed a decent sort too.

Used to see Noddy Holder in there occasionally. Not performing, just propping up the bar and watching.

Mark Perry looks around Deptford and gives us a glimpse of what life was like back in 1975 .........

" Life`s about as wonderful as growing old , Life`s about as wonderful as a tramp lying dead in the road ..... " ........


Probably gentrified , beards , hipsters , and the " Brown Seat Brotherhood " now ........... ( the bikes that is , don`t get the wrong idea ..... ) ............

Sounds like a living nightmare ..............
 

Patti Smith was being interviewed on the BBC News yesterday , for some reason or other ..... don`t know why ........... Which reminded me of this ........

Except she`s nowhere to be seen ( or heard ) on this version .... ( except briefly at the very beginning ) ......... Whether this is a good or bad thing I`ll let you decide ............

.... and again ..... ....... KT was looking through a magazine when she spotted the Robert Mapplethorpe photo of Patti Smith which was used as the cover shot for Patti`s Horses album .......... and thus provided the inspiration for this song ...............
