Welcome To My Blog

Thanks for checking the blog out... Hope it offers something a bit different every now & again. Though I come from a pseudo - Mod background (Soul & Ska in particular), I have a diverse taste in music & hope my varied posts will reflect this.

Cheers Skamanc .... I'm not after your undying gratitude, but please leave your thoughts, comments & opinions on the posts & content. I regularly up- & download material, plus buy and trade items. As such, if I have inadvertently "trodden on anyone's toes" in posting anything then please let me know & accept my apologies. Also please support the artists involved & remember that the blog is merely a pointer toward these various downloads, which are stored elsewhere. Legally, any downloads should not be retained for more than a week. So now I've told you the legal bit !

THE B52s : Heatwave Festival, Canada, 23/8/80


Phil makes another contribution to the ongoing Heatwave posts : here's The B52's set from the 1980 Canadian festival. The usual big "thanks" to him for this & all his other recent help.

  4. The Clash set will deffo be out there. The Kings ? Never heard of 'em. I'd like the Rockpile set also - Nick Lowe was / is a phenomenal writer & bassist. Also produced the early Damned stuff...

  12. I was at Heatwave. The Clash pulled out a few days ahead of the fest. Talking Heads -- who debuted the big band lineup of the group that day -- IMO were the standout act of the day -- and in the pre-Internet days, it was a total surprise, that blew away the crowd. But all the bands played superb sets that day.
