Ummm, yeah, no, It did grow on me a bit but then the thought popped into my head "Is that Yoko Ono on the penny whistle?" and I couldn't unthink it Thanks anyway. |

Here's a classic for you String - loved this when i was a teen.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqJW-9N7dj4&t=32s Dillinger - Cocaine in my brain |
|
By:
Good stuff Dixie ,, one of my fav albums from the 70,s ... Dillinger v Trinity Clash
|
|
By:
Some great reggae recordings in the late 70s and early 80s String. Listening to John Peel first got me in to that type of music. Dillinger was still performing a few years back, Trinity unfortunately passed away in 2021.
Still have loads of vinyl from those days - Dennis Brown, Black Uhuru, Steel Pulse, Mikey Dread, Misty In Roots , Aswad (before they went mainstream) etc. Always listened to the David Rodigan show on Radio London. Great memories of those times. |
|
By:
John Peel .. now your talking
started listening to his show early 77 with the Punk explosion , he loved that Misty in Roots live Album , I saw them play at a uni gig with Sham 69 early days , ended up in chaos obviously , great days , gigs 3-4 a week .. no one knew that Roddy was white back then |
|
By:
I tuned in to JP for the punk /new wave stuff and initially was dismissive of the reggae tracks he played but soon came to love them. The live album by the Mistys is fantastic, still have my original vinyl copy, second hand CDs are 40 or 50 quid on ebay ! They are still together and have a couple of gigs lined up for next year.
I too never knew "roddy" was a white guy, first time i saw him on TV i though he must be an albino like Yellowman The Hersham Boys are still going as well - they are playing the 229 club in Great Portland St next month, doubt it will be as chaotic as when you saw them though String |

By:
I dont go many gigs nowadays , more of a Barfly these days, too many infact
|
|
By:
Talking of gigs this mob were great live.... without doubt my favourite punk album , very underated and under played anywhere. .. WIRE .. Album .. Pink Flag .. 1977 and Pogues 1st album Red Roses for me .. we were watching the Pogues very early days and it was a good night out and turned into a good scene before it got silly... London was the bollocks for live music back then
 |
|
By:
So many bands were coming along at that time String, 999 was another fav from the John Peel days, did you see them ? Emergency is a cracking song. They are still going, will be their 50th anniversary next year !
My absolute favs though were The Stranglers, Rattus Norvegicus in 1977 was a requirement for any lover of the genre, brilliant album. |
|
By:
I liked 999 Singles , but never saw them live and dont remember anyone that did, thinking back , it was strange.. they just werent popular in my area .. there picture covers probly didnt help , they looked like they were posing for a catalogue
dyou know where they were from Dixie ? Rattus great album |

By:
just looked 999 up .. London Based played regular at the Hope and Anchor ( it only held 100 people )
the wiki write up is as vague as i remember them Strange turnout |
|
By:
Yes 999 didn't look particularly punky but their sound was good. The lead singer (Nick Cash) was previously in Kilburn and the High Roads with a certain Ian Dury.
How about Siouxsie and the Banshees did you see them ? The Scream is another corker of an album. |
|
By:
No I never , they were poncy arty types from Bromley , Sign the banshees was regular grafiti back then I saw the clash twice in 77 , i fort they were sh1te live and didnt like the way they kissed Don Letts arris either
the Damned were good live but sensible was a palace pr1ck and the woosie wont play stab your back these days im not easily pleased ... i prefer nutters like The League from Tunbridge Wells |
|
By:
Nick cash .. real name or punk name
|
|
By:
But i do have a sense of humour.. me and mates used to go and see 2 northern type acts ,, Ted Chippington .. Sh1te jokes and sh1te versions of old songs , so bad we found it funny,, and he was defo paranoid of us turning up at his gigs in half empty pubs
and Frank sidebottom proper nut that geezer.. they both regularly played at the cricketers pub behind the Oval cricket ground,, theres a great documentry about Frank .. called.. Being Frank.. crazy funny bloke CULT |
|
By:
I remember Frank Sidebottom, a proper eccentric, often made cameo appearances on the music progs, especially ones with Tony Wilson.
Sadly he died in his early 50s from cancer  Nick Cash is indeed his punk name, real name is Keith Lucas i believe, no wonder he changed it I take it The League are the Anti Nowhere's ? |
|
By:
YEP .. seen em twice at the Forum in T-wells years ago , really good little venue for live bands.. not far from the cricket ground

Never heard much of The Sound, String but i know the music press raved about them, i will have to give some of their stuff a listen.
Fad Gadget (aka Frank Tovey) was a post punk act circa 1980 that i liked as they were different, some cracking lyrics in their songs, Saturday Night Special a particular fav of mine. |
|
By:
I remember Fad Gadget , not sure if i saw them ,but they had a weird type single released circa 1979

The Chameleons .. great 80.S Indie Manc Band.. v Wasted Youth .. not very well known Gothy East London band , but good live .. good single .. My friends are Dead

ANGELIC UPSTARTS
ENGLAND The red in the flag is the blood that was spilt In the way that your forefathers tell And never a country been so great The stories Britannia coud tell I never want to live my life Away from the golden shores There's never a country in the world With the scent of an English rose England, oh England, a country so great The land of so fair and so true There'll never be any colours like The red, the white and the blue Whenever you go to the far off shores Ther's something that goes with you The pride and the joy and the love that comes From your mother of red, white and blue You cold never be born under a flag that's like The one of a Union Jack St.George's spirit has never died It all keeps coming back England, oh England... (5x) Was Tommy Robinson the Lead Singer |
