I love the Playing for Change format and the Biko one is a stand out for me. . Years ago a TV programme about Soweto featured its popular music included some outstanding choral singing, not normally my bag but there is just something about South African voices singing in harmony. . . Now for something totally different from a TV show that also featured some canny stuff. And a very different song that is also a personal favourite, having had one or two days like this in SR6. https://www.google.com/search?client=opera&q=every day is like Sunday on you tube&sourceid=opera&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:ae2a02d3,vid:A6WEeM7dqLQ,st:0[/QUOTE]
[/QUOTE] Great song and also full of nostalgia I was a little sod around the estate when I was a young'un. My 16 year old granddaughter asked for a Smiths album on vinyl for Christmas. I couldn’t believe the price...£36. Needless to say she got it but the price of vinyl now is rediculous.

Once I got my proper wheels, the vinyl was replaced by cassettes and CD,s to such an extent that I now a lot of those , the record player went years ago and doubt I will ever buy a new one. My greatest loss was the crash of Betamax , the tapes are in the attic the early Jamaica stuff was brilliant, as were the art history ones (my other weakness ) god only knows what state they are in . He was right The times certainly are a changing, no doubt about it.

To all the pubs and clubs we played at as kids, to eventually making a record. What a journey! We went far beyond our dreams and what we made stands the test of time. My deepest sympathy to all family and friends."
There's a great interview of Rick Buckler from Eddie Pillar but I can't find it in full. Here's some .
Very talented Clocky, I seen them at the City Hall, I'm sure they were supported by Joan Armatrading who was brilliant.
. J.A. Now there's a gal, and what a side one , down to zero, help yourself, water with the wine, love and affection, save me , Got me thro a few Sunday mornings after a night out, 1976 fondly remembered ,
On Rick Buckler, he was one of my heros growing up, was brought up on the sounds of The Jam and one of my favourite albums is Setting Sons, a fantastic album from start to finish, the drum fade on Little Boy Soldiers still makes the hairs stand on end. RIP Rick, I always hoped they would work things out and reform so I could get to see them, not to be sadly.
The first band I ever got into was AC/DC. Loved them. I’ve seen them play live many times but never with Ronald Belford ‘Bon’ Scott who died today in 1980 aged 33. RIP Bon.
I never got to see them with Bon, but the Bon era is still my favourite. First seen them on the Back in Black tour, Nov. 5th, 1980, NCH. £4.00. Great bit in this where Angus' string snaps, swaps guitars, and the tech is trying to get a strap on it while he's playing the solo. Bit of the solo missing while he swaps, but just picks it up again once he's swapped guitar. R.I.P. Bon, gone but never forgotten.
