RIP Saxophonist Dick Parry (83) <rose>
Iconic is a much overused term, but not in this case.
The man who elevated the music of Pink Floyd and many others over the course of 6 decades.
His playing on DSotM and Wish You Were Here (Shine On You Crazy Diamond) will live on forever.

The V&A are hosting an exhibition that ties in with the excellent London's Lost Misic Venues books...

Talking about 'lost' things, Henry Rollins and Ian MacKaye have driven the issuing of tapes from an intended album in 1977, as a 2026 release 'Gravest Gravy'

"From Beyond The Grave...Lux Speaks!"

Off to see The Ruts @ The 100 Club tonight. The support is General Saint, who supported them the last time I saw them.

I saw him and Clint Easteood in '82 and was quite looking forward to seeing him again...I won't be making that mistake again.

I'll be very kind and say it was really bad.

I saw Clint Eastwood and general saint once back in the 80s ,about the time the had the " hit" stop that train , General Saint was that stoned that he was helped on stage and was propped up against a speaker and some chairs , did not move a muscle for the whole show , thankfully the show was cut short
 
Went for a couple of Lime and sodas before last night's gig, in The Champion. Drinking with Eugene Butcher (prioriter of Punk/Post Punk coffee table magazine, Vive Le Rock and fervent admirer of Mrs B) was Kenny Jones....yes, the actual ex-Small Faces/Faces/Who drummer. Wow!! He was with a bloke who I recognised but couldn't put a name to.

With our crowd, Leigh Heggarty of The Ruts and Jet, former guitar superstar of UK Subs

After the gig, Eugene was spotted lying in the street, rat-arsed drunk and struggling to get up. By then, Kenny Jones was nowhere to be seen...

I have just seen the sad news that Bob Harris is stepping down from radio 2 to bad health , Whispering Bob and The Old Grey Whistle Test was a massive influence in my music journey, late Tuesday night's I got my 1st sight of Bob Marley, Dr Feelgood, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Talking Heads, so may pub rock bands ,Prog bands ,folk and the famous videos
Punk was his undoing
Best wishes Bob and **** Cancer

Sorry to hear that Bob's not well. My love of SAHB was tied into their fabulous performance on TOGWT.

Bob wasn't having TNYD, so punk was never going to get the look in that it so desperately needed, with him at the helm. It's a shame that Radio 1 and TOTP wasn't brave enough to do something similar, but BBC2 wS always open to the weird and wonderful, before it was commercialised and popular.
