Ousley remembers - 5 months ago
Ousley remembers the first time he ever enters the 100 Club, five years earlier in 1973. He sees George Melly and John Chilton’s Footwarmers along with their special guest Beryl Bryden, a lusty lady from Norwich who plays a washboard and attempts to sing the songs of Bessie Smith sans the American accent. Melly tells the audience there that he sure ‘Ain’t Misbehavin’’; he relates how heby The man - SNWMF Phorum 2015

Re: Best time to be in Jamaica is... - 1 year ago
The best time to be in Jamaica was between 1962 and 1966, when ska ruled the roost and Buster danced it on Orange Street. After that, the United States fronted by Seaga brought in their favourite guns and the island has never been the same. In the 19th century England was the evil Empire; in the 20th century that role is played by the good ole USA. Reelby The man - SNWMF Phorum 2015

Re: A bottle thrown at Toots..... - 1 year ago
I still remember the Reading Festival in 1976. U Roy and the Might Diamonds were both stoned by the crowd and booed. Promoters Virgin Records had picked the wrong venue, the Reading Festival featured hard rock and heavy metal. Reggae was the last thing this headbanging crowd of leathered and chained youth wanted to hear. Reelby The man - SNWMF Phorum 2015

The posts about Serbia are not coded messages Strikkly but a private joke between myself and the one Zoran Janic, a Belgrade publicist who posts on this forum as "Zoki". He is a man of the Serbian tribe and the posts are for his amusement and edification.

Re: The Itals - 1 year ago
Jcom says: "I've never seen them on any billing". That's probably because The Viceroys have not existed for the past 40 years. They were a west Kingston vocal trio led by Linval Thompson as Bonigale who recorded a series of driving rock steady classic like 'Lose And Gain', 'Maga Down', 'Last Night' and 'Ya Ho' for Studio One in the 1960s before splitting up in the area's political trby The man - SNWMF Phorum 2015

Buffalo Bill Zoki: The Man Behind the Legend Jazzbo Carter Historical judgments of Buffalo Bill have varied wildly over the years, in large measure according to the political winds of the time. In the 1950s, he was portrayed onscreen by Billy Mitchell as a founding hero of the Old East; as depicted in a 1976 Robert Altman film, he's a "hopeless drunk" and a "flamboyant fake.&quby The man - SNWMF Phorum 2015
Northern Rock - 1 year ago
After 40 years of a thriving soul scene, teenagers in the wilderness hinterlands of England's northern towns are turning their backs on the music of black America and involving themselves instead with late 1960s US rock music. DJs like Roger Vulture from the Twisted Arm in Whitby and Chris Collier of The Olympic Torch in Gateshead are spinning classics of the era. Vulture specialises in New Yoby The man - SNWMF Phorum 2015

I don't love Scratch; I despise him. He is a mean, bitter, resentful little man whose talent died when first he desecrated and then torched his studio. Perry is the type of wealthy man who walks into Trojan and is given £500 every week and then goes around begging the recolrd company's ill paid stafff for a spliff.
