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 !

Buzzcocks & Magazine : B'dum B'dum (Granada TV 1978) Full show...


The enduring genius that is Howard Devoto in The'cocks & then Magazine. Great footage from Manchester's Granada TV, 1st shown 1978. Apologies for the scary pic of Mick Hucknall on the vid title frame (above). Had I been a bouncer at Belle Vue then he wouldn;t have been able to have gone on to create such atrocious muzak.

  1. Maybe you would have tempered your aggression towards Mick Hucknall if you knew that he put his money where his mouth was when he bankrolled Blood & Fire Records and all its glorious reggae etc, from his cheesy soul rewards.
