Bud the Baker Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 (edited) Rockpile - the first band I ever saw on the radio just now. Officially released as a Dave Edmunds solo record due to contractual reasons but it was Dave, Nick Lowe, Billy Bremner and Terry Williams. Old rockers never die altho' it might not always smell that way! Edited November 17, 2016 by Bud the Baker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antrin Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 (edited) I remember the song - Liked it, indeed! But you must be much older than me. I've NEVER seen a band on the radio. That must have only been in the early days of radio... Edited November 17, 2016 by antrin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, as I said Dave Edmunds & Nick Lowe were signed to different record companies and I suppose it worked it's way to Edmunds via Lowe who'd produced Costello's first elpee with Stiff Records. Switching back on topic (slightly) I reckon that first Stiff Tour with Lowe, Costello & Ian Dury et al would've been something to see - can anybuddy confirm?

Isle Of Bute Saint Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 On Saturday, November 05, 2016 at 2:28 PM, beyond our ken said: I have to say, it was one of the greatest privileges in my life to attend that gig last night. Both Benny & Graham sang beautifully and played wonderfully, even if the banter over deciding which key they were going to play belied their age a little. Graham Lyle was openly weeping as they got to the end of "I believe in you" and Benny Gallagher's smile to him at the end of the song was a picture. Both men were visibly moved by the singalongs on "the runaway" and "I wanna stay with you" So many high points, including the "hooligan" version of "when i'm dead & gone". But mostly, just a pleasure to be in the room with two such humble and brilliant musicians. I got to shake Graham's hand at the end and he was genuinely surprised to hear how much it meant to there. It's high time Scotland celebrated and honoured these guys , as much for who they are as for what they have done They played Rothesay Pavilion last year which was fantastic to put it mildly. They were the first artists the Beatles signed to Apple records as song writers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got my tickets a few weeks ago. Saw them a couple of years ago and they were superb. Interesting to see Punk bands rockin' it out for 40th Anniversary Tours. I was always a bit retro in my musical tastes but I remember seeing a few of my old faves like Nazereth and the Zombies doing 40th Anniversary gigs a few years back - had a tear in my eye when Rod Argent sung God Gave Rock'n'Roll To You. Too old to Rock'n'Roll, too young to die.............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually thinking about that earlier... elvis and Girl Talk.... john Cooper Clark was on C4 news... i first saw HIM opening (aye, honestly) for elvis and the attractions.... Back in the day after radio with pictures died out. we had to go to gigs.... as JCC admitted - most folk weren't there for the poetry....

salmonbuddie Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Me and my brother tried to get in to see JCC in the QMU but it was Freshers' Week or some such and they wouldn't let us in. We ended up going to the Apollo and seeing the Skids, a great gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney63 Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 I saw JCC and Attila the Stockbroker in a pub in 1978 or so. Very funny. Good tip off on Skids, thanks for that , will give that a pop. Got Sabbath's last gig in Scotland to look forward to in January, first saw them 38 year ago as well, jeez, when bands were loud, not like these days when you can have a conversation at a gig... I live in Edinburgh and there's almost nothing happening music wise in this town these days apart from the RSNO, and they're really just a covers band.

He is brilliant live always makes you feel as if he invited you into his living space with good story's in between the music. He moved to the dark isle not sure if he still stays there.

Bud the Baker Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 Just got my tickets for Al Stewart thru. Born in Greenock, played guitar for Tony Blackburn's group The Sabres as well as with a host of real musicians. Played at the first Glastonbury Festival (before it was even called Glastonbury!). Be there - in incense and patchouli.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
