Bit of a dodgy choice but does bring back memories, do you remember the dance Tommy? I can and do still do it. |

Thanks TT for the Susan Cadogan; one of me and Mrs Toteboards all time favs, have it on 7".
While I love all the roots and dub, and the male vocalists, it was lovers rock sung by girls, usually from South London, that really did it for me. Selections to follow  |

Sorry about going slightly off-subject here again, but I really feel as if I need to expose you all to this...

Again, I don't know whether you call this reggae or ska, but I loved Al Capone by Prince Buster:

TBH Tommy, Dani, Catford, I'm happy to accept reggae, roots, ska, dancehall, rocksteady etc etc! It's all good

Liked that Chin High song, Alex.

An old & dear friend put me onto that one Tommy. The version I put up is actually a remix. The original's not quite as good imvho
|

By:
Just got to put up Lorraine by Bad Manners again as it's so terrific - and great to see Buster still a-dancin' and a-prancin' like a good un less than 12 months ago!

Bought Lorraine on 7" with a Christmas record voucher from Boots back in the day Tommy!

By:
always intended to see them live, never have
|
|
By:
Great stuff Alex!
Me neither, Danni - but isn't it great to see Buster in such good fettle only 11 months ago? |
|
By:
My Bad Manners hard luck story (I think I've documented this on the forum before) but I saw a poster advertising them at a venue that was within walking distance of me at the time. I thought 'Mint, I'll have some of that'. Persuaded a few of my mates to come along & we were all up for it by the time the day came. We all showed up & the venue seemed a bit 'quiet' to say the least. When we asked someone official-looking what time they were on he replied: 'Oh they were on yesterday. The date was printed wrong on the poster.'
So, while looking forward to a bit of  , it all went a bit  |
|
By:
Oh what a shame Alex! That's very bad luck indeed.
Did they get many on the actual night - and how were people supposed to know? |
|
By:
Never found out Tommy, I was too gutted. Obviously it was in the days before the internet, mobile phones etc. I bet there weren't as many there as there should have been tho. Still, a mate of mine who was in a band (Kelly Smunt & The Turd Burglars) tipped me off about a gig he was doing in quite a big venue (like, 200+) and a total of five people (inc me) turned up!
The promoter refused to put the band's name on the poster, shortening it to KSTB |
|
By:
Brilliant, Alex!!
|
|
By:
He was in some good bands, this lad, Tommy, including 'Dr Dave & The Diabetics'
 |
|
By:
Great names, Alex!!
Can't stop laughing! |
|
By:
Loved the hurts so good track..was going with a girl at the time who was kinda into that and it was our theme tune!![;)]
|

By:
Happy, never to be repeated, halcyon days Tommy. Dr Dave & The Diabetics did a gig in a church hall near me when I was in my teens. My mate was so leathered he fell off stage after one song, dragging his guitar & amp with him. Whoever was 'in charge' soon chucked everyone off. My other mate was in the support band & he did a full set, despite the drummer playing most of the gig with just one stick because he was a bit short sighted & threw it up in the air during one song, meaning to catch it, but he dropped it & never found it again!
