music in the shed

Bachelors From Prague were a favourite of mine in the late 80s and early 90s. Saw them play in Melbourne once, highlight was a rendition of 'Purple Haze' with Bruce Haymes (the keyboard player) playing lead (left hand) guitar while wearing an afro wig...

Bruce Haymes still going strong in various bands in Melbourne. Saw him just last week on keyboard with Gallie.
 

.... Beat Club performances were always recorded live , but Eric Clapton is obviously lip-syncing here ....... just had emergency dental work apparently , so mouth still frozen ..... strange , but that`s the story ........

Gotta switch to YouTube to view , so it seems ........
 

... and talking of lip-syncing ........ No sign of any much needed dental work here , but Ian hams it up for the camera anyway .......

... Jimmy Savile showing early signs of being Jimmy Savile at the end .....

Seeing Ian and Tull live in the 70's was a treat ( John Glascock tour ), bought a flute almost straight away, took it back to the shop as it did not work... flute was fine, would be flautist the problem, still play the flute most days, and gigs with the gals when are available, Joan Osborne Spooky a special song, have an Alto flute also that may work on Spooky... until the day my arms become shorter, man that is a stretch on a straight Alto.. nice one Tony, love Tull, Hunting Girl a meaningful number here... my gal pal is a domi.... Bless their latex socks. j Throw in a Hillbilly Moon Explosion number of much worth, Emanuella also a catchy sight performer and number, Oliver a top DB player and singer, think have mentioned prior, overlook my lack of recall as you please.

Hillbilly’s a great live band. Seen them a couple of times, most recently about 6 weeks ago at a tiny, cramped, sweaty venue in Stafford, England.That close to the lead guitarist I was opening beer cans for him.
 

... Was looking for the Beat Club recording of this by the Motor City Five .... but it seems to have disappeared .....

Wayne Kramer passed away last February ..........
