MADNESS : Coachella Festival (USA) 13/4/12

Phil does it again !! Another great file from a further recent festival appearance. This sees Madness play the Coachella festival in the States. I'm sure Phil would love to read a few comments on this...

THE SPECIALS : Cheltenham 24/10/11

Thanks to Phil for this Specials gig, as recently promised. I've included sharecodes for Phil's original WAV file via Depositfiles (930+ MB !), as well as a smaller sized (around 200mb) mp3 conversion on Rapidshare. Be sure to leave a note or two for Phil please...

EMMY & THE EMMYS : Lost SKA Tracks

Early 1980s outfit featuring Madonna...

Seem to have temporarily lost the St George flag download icon - still works though just looks a bit of a mess...

Still off the cigs - one whole month this Sunday !! Thanks to everyone for the supoortive messages etc. Means a lot.

Finished converting the Specials Cheltenham gig & just need to upload the mp3 to get a new sharecode. This will be the next post.

If Andy C sees this - can you re-email me your postal address mate ?? (Haven't forgotten the Madness data files, just lost the address !!) 

MADNESS : Vive Latino Festival, Mexico, 25/3/12

The usual big thanks to Phil for this recent Madness festival appearance. Phil has also sent me The Specials 2011 Cheltenham gig - I am about to convert this from .wav to MP3 & will be posting it up asap.

THE JAM : Demos & Out - Takes (Mama We're All Different Now)

Collection of various studio outtakes and demos, including various cover versions by such Weller - influences as the Beatles (Rain, And Your Bird Can Sing), The Kinks (Dead End Street) & The Small Faces (Get Yourself Together).

I reckon these are mainly from the Sound Affects / Funeral Pyre era (circa 1981).

Sorry for the recent lack of activity & of replies to e-mails , messages etc. Even when my Broadband is on, I reckon Virgin slow it down, as some sites won't let me log on at all & others are too slow. My old PC isn't helping either. I have been doing a stocktake of files - I seem to have lost a lot more than I originally thought so a lot of requests for reposts can't be done I regret. I am getting back into the swinbg of things gradually and won't be closing the blog. It's just that I'm really behind and am quite short of new material at present. Thanks to everyone for your patience during this difficult time.

No job as yet though have been "promised" an interview in the near future ... believe it when I see it. DSS still haven't processed my claim so no money yet... despite the years of Nat Insurance payments that I have made... Still off the cigs though !!!

JOOLS HOLLAND & RICO RODRIGUEZ : Dance the SKA EP

Compilation of collaborations from the "Later" TV series.

Sorry for the recent lack of posts... broadband was cut off yet again. I'm still off the cigs - two weeks now after a couple of lapses. Sadly I lost my job almost a fortnight ago (business into inso,vency) and so I'm still unsure how this is going to affect the blogs...
