I received a very interesting e-mail this afternoon - I have pasted it below... Many thanks to Steve for getting in touch with these links...
Hey love the blog, I was once for many years the drummer for bad manners, I have a ton of live footage, never heard or seen before.
I have been posting some of it to youtube, it’s great quality. Thought I would share some with you. Also I have a site

Here is a great recording with myself, but it features Winston Bazoomies the original harp player and Rico Rodriguez on trombone. This is 1993 in Stockton - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lniQp5HQVoE

If you type in Hammers65 on youtube, I believe all my stuff comes up, including my kids. I live out in Kansas now, I actually toured with Bad Manners last year again for the first time in about 12 years, got the call at work one day, kind of like the Blues Brothers..."we're putting the band back together." we toured side by side with The English Beat, had a blast, tried to act 24 again and came unstuck a few times. There are photos on the http://www.badmannersontour.com from that tour, some great shots of the band. I have several more videos to load, one show is an Air Force base in Norwich. One good one that is mostly up now is The Troubadour from 1995. On bass is Dave Wiens from Let's Go Bowling out of Fresno California. Feel free to ask me any stuff about touring with the band, it was a fun time.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post !!! A big thanks I remember saving up my paper round money to get Ska'n'B !!!
ReplyDeleteThanks again to Steve. More to follow soon...
