How on earth did Robbie Williams end up with that gig

I don't suppose you have a TB-303 you want to give away, do you?

I'm sure in the hundred-odd songs that I recorded and participated in the arrangement of, there are a number of songs which people who prefer rock to pop will prefer to a number of Abba songs.

I have been known to run screaming from the room at weddings when Abba comes on. :-(

Its a formindable collection of well crafted pop songs that I desperately never want to hear again as long as I live.

I run screaming from the room at the merest hint of a wedding invitation. They are thoroughly miserable affairs and that is even without having to suffer the music.

That reminds me of Greg Mitchell on here when we were supposed to be singing Torres. I think he put it in his sig.

I am washing out my ears with the this:

Despite our previous musical differences it is good to find some common ground where one can. Weddings. :-(

I liked Bill Bailey's 'Have you seen the queue for Nando's?'

Those people ought to learn to play nice and quietly.

We had fun at Ian Harvey's wedding, a.

Well, we got spasticated, anyway.

I cant stand them. I would rather spend an entire day listening to the Style Council than attend a wedding. I genuinely mean that....

So, have you played on anything I might know? :)

You must have done.....

I’m getting an image here of c cruising into peurto banus in some open top sports turbo number with cream upholstery and ‘money, money, money’ blaring from the speakers.. Just look at that proper c*nt, the slightly envious onlookers would be saying to each other, hoping he’ll push the accelerator a smidge to hard and stove the front into a concrete bollard

Probably not, unless you heard the first Tubilah Dog album. :hehe:

(gets going properly at 2 mins. I did play something on this album, though not this track)

Much good music never sees the light of day, sadly. Of course that metaphor doesn't quite work but you get the idea.

Psychedelic rock.

This is the one I played on.

Most of the stuff I recorded isn't on the interwebs. Maybe I should put some up there.

Supported 'em, played as part of their lineup on some tours.

That Ganapti chap might have seen them at Stonehenge and the like back in the day.

Blimey O’Reilly. They were eye opening!!

Sadly, a dying art form. Like leg spin or full backs who know how to defend.

Music ain't real no more :(

Robey was a stepping stone.

From Club Dog and other all-nighters in N5 with Ozric Tentacles to the harder stuff in South with Dave Brock and his assorted bunch of lunatics and support lunatics.

I am quite sure most of the crowd were lovely people but they could be scary as fúck.

Mind you there was a bunch of chaps who would be at the Robey who resembled something from early Mad Max movies, Mutoid something or other. They would quickly freak you out and have you running to hide in the corner.

Good chance you saw T Dog then. They played with Hawkwind around that period. Loons to a man as you say, but some great druggy times were had all the same.

Tell you what, Clive, this vocoder b0llocks on the vocal that makes everything sound like a gay fish is going to sound proper fùcking toilet in a few years time when everyone realises that what they've been listening to for the last 20 years is a the equivalent of an 80s snare sample crossed with a DX7 mashed up with a flaired trouser.
