Off Topic DJ Dev's Right Said Music Thread

Yes they were a great live band. If I remember this one was inspired by his grans getting her first inside cludgie back in the late 70's.

 

I never really liked the direction they went on after this guy left though. I thought Fishermans Blues was pretty pish. It sounds better now though I have to say.

 

Wallinger had a brain tumour and was out of action for ages. The fat dancer stole his band and fairly shamelessly his music.

 

Ye'll like this BAD.

 

Saw them at Glastonbury around mid 90's. That particular track is still on my old mp3

 

This was a cracking video.

 

Can't believe that is already 30yo! The man was quite simply my ONLY musical hero

 

I know it still sounds totally contemporary he is the man.

 

Definitely one of this wee country's best imports

 

TO be honest I don't really think we can claim him as such he was about two when he moved. Still he's more Scottish than Rod Stewart.

I don't know if I said this one to you before, but I worked with his wee cousin years ago. He said Byrne was hysterical. They went to visit him and DB used to get up in the middle of the night and set up all these bizarre pranks throughout the house. He would tie doors shut with string and have buckets of water falling on their heads a sort of one man Tam Shephard.

 

You have told me, Mo, but it would never get old! it is exactly how i imagine him to be.

Sadly i only saw him once , and he preceded to spend half the gig doing operatic numbers

 

Oh, and I was only 2 when I came here, and I was definitely a good import

 

I'm from big Neil 's neck of the woods, Mo

 

So yer like the anti-Byrne, Canada to Scotland
