music in the shed

.......

Cornershop`s Tjinder Singh must have got the idea for this video by watching the Lynyrd Skynyrd " Free Bird " live at the Oakland Coliseum video , I reckon ......Someone once said this is what Primal Scream should have sounded like if they hadn`t had their heads stuck up their own backsides .....

Ace of Spades was weapon in support.
think it must have been the Bomber tour with Saxon as I'm sure by Ace they were too big to be a support act !

That's right! Saw them twice that year. saxon did dupport MH - but it was at the Stafford bingley Hall all-day jobbie That was a good gig. Sat on straw covered floor all day, about 5 or 6 bands were on. No wonder I'm half deaf.

Am seriously impressed Hamish, as roadie and being in the place and the era, sorry about the lugging duties.. only the few can know, was in charge of a six man crew and two 8ton pantechs for sound and light company, we know what we know.. first in, last to leave, 19 hour days... did you get to have a stage side position in the performances? Hope you did... Rick was an icon and showman, provided others did the fetch and carry..good man you are... not many of us left is there, a wry smile..j.

Back in the ‘80s I occasionally helped my then brother-in-law (my elder sister’s former hubby) hump equipment into the back of the truck at the end of a gig in exchange for a free pass for the show. He was roadie for the likes of Suzi Quattro, Dexy’s Midnight Runners, Hot Chocolate etc.
However, I think my younger sister, now unfortunately deceased, had the better idea, she just humped members of the band and occasionally performed as a backing singer. 🙋‍♀️

As a footnote, my sister ended up marrying the drummer from Stray. In typical rock star fashion it ended in an acrimonious divorce. She then turned her charms on members of the Gloucestershire fire service, for whom she worked for many years, not that for a moment I’m impugning her reputation, but she certainly knew how to enjoy herself. 😉
It was then such cruel luck that she was struck down with bowel and liver cancer at such a relatively young age. However , I like to think she is rocking away having a great time somewhere or other.

Blimey Andy - I have followed Stray since the 70s got all the old albums - the first being my favourite - Del Bromham is still going with a band playing their catelogue and I last saw them again last year - still a great gig - very sorry to hear about your sister
 
This Gal has a Timbre in her voice that is completely unique, modern band with an out of usual flair for song progression and using what you have...
 
The above gal and Marlene from Rhythm Shakers are my two favorite current era female voices and performers, fabulous. BTW upright bass player transposed the bass line after busting a bottom E ( 170 thou string! ) that is a real bass player. Hope you like the melodies and stage craft. Song in this clip is "Home Wrecker".
 
Perhaps in homage to the ladies whom bring much to the lives of lads willing to be lead astray if not around, am but one such tragic soul...grin.
UK gal that has it all, and her younger brother on guitar is the man. Their dad a rockabilly guitarist has done good for the world. Also UK Donna and her Dad, search "Black Cat Trio" Donna is a star, and worked hard to make it so.

It’s a small world Adam… and I didn't know Del was still at it.
