 | Old Rockers - Rusty Fusties who outlived 'Hear
Say', 'S Club 7' and suchlike! |
| THE
HAMSTERS - l'il old band from... ESSEX! - one of my favourites
(Make sure you see the 'little guy' graphic at the foot of the
opening page - it says it all) |
BUDGIE
-
Welsh rockers still going strong -got some nice pictures in there |
| WALTER TROUT - my other favourite |
AVERAGE
WHITE BAND - still doing the rounds, occasionally in your town too! |
| WISHBONE ASH - yes they're still going!
In fact there are now 2 Wishbone Ash bands, the Andy Powell one and the
Martin Turner one called WISHBONE
- so there! Now you know |
MAN
Archive - more Welsh rockers, also available at their own MAN
home page |
| BAD COMPANY - these guys come out of the woodwork
occasionally |
GLENN
HUGHES - a hero from the days of Trapeze and Deep Purple |
| STRIFE - a history,
with an occasional contribution by me |
WILKO
JOHNSON - Teach yourself how to play "She Does it Right" with
his downloadable lessons |
| ANDY
FRASER - founder member and bass player of FREE, best designed web
site I've ever seen. Nice little "FREE on TOTP" video if you
look around |
JOHN
MAYALL - daddy of them all! Buddy
Whittington used to be his main guitar player - WELL WORTH a trip out |
| MICKY
MOODY - former SNAFU and Whitesnake guitar player (among others) now
doing his own thing - look for one of the first pictures of Paul Rodgers
playing in a band with him in the history section |
THIN
LIZZY - gateway to loads of information on folks like Gary Moore and
Brush Sheils from Skid Row (the original Irish one, not the poor American
rip-off) among all the expected Thin Lizzy necessaries in the Links page |
| FRUUPP
- slightly theatrical musical heroes from Ireland. Brilliant music - had
to be seen to be believed. |
JOE
BONAMASSA - once again, here I am a mere recent
convert to a guy I should have been listening to for ages - thanks to DJK
for making me do it! |
| Lesser Known - but equally valued
- buddies still doing the rounds - or not!
|
| SLENDER
LORIS - A bunch of guys who played at the Imperial for ages. Not my
sound, but a legend in their own lunch time! |
FAR
CANAL - some of Keith's buddies from his subsequent band(s) still
treading the boards - be careful how you say this one - I think there's an
innuendo in there! You'll see some nice guitars in the pictures |
| PHIL
BRODIE BAND - Nice sounds, nice guitar collection, lots of fun, lots
of information like One Hit Wonders and Number One Records ('Muso Page) -
and when they happened |
BUZZARD
- Here he is again in his latest incarnation, our man Keith still thumping
those tubs, more Andy, Jim and Keith these days rather than ABK |
|
Entertainment and Nostalgia
|
| The INNES
BOOK OF RECORDS - Neil Innes of Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band fame - some
brilliant little clips and samples on this site. Kept me laughing for
hours. (If you never saw the TV series, you'll NEVER understand) |
DEPUTY
DAWG - my hero, say no more! |
|
Favourite Guitar and suchlike Sites
|
|
Music Venue Related (loads of
information on people and bands you thought were long gone, but are still
with us - worth looking at for useful information and related web sites, even if you never get to go
to the places!)
|
| Running
Horse, Nottingham (cosy!) - well it was once. You get redirected to
Barry's Blues nowadays, but essentially- that's what you want anyway! |
Fleece
& Firkin, Bristol (brilliant web design on this one .... once -
seems to have changed!) |
| The
Robin, Bilston (all my ageing heroes play here) and it's certainly
worth a visit |
The
Diamond, Sutton in Ashfield, Nottingham - EVERYBODY has played here!
More likely to find 'tribute' bands nowadays |
