The George Borowski Videos Part One

After a great responce on the George Borowski podcast were publishing the videos that were taken of George Borowski playing some of his tracks in the studio. So here's the first set of tracks starting off with 'Who is Innocent?' the track that John Peel loved and I'm sure was in his festive 50. The second track 'Manchester Boys' was the b-side of that single and was produced by late great producer, Martin Hannett.  You can view the videos below....

Happy Birthday Tina Turner

The singer Tina Turner turns 71 years old today and she's still amazing. I'm trying to rack my brain about what to write about Mrs Turner and all I can think about is the fact that Marc Bolan allegedly played the guitar in the hit 'Nutbush City Limits.' This is backed up by his ex-girlfriend, Norla Jones, who says the T-rex man was in L.A at the time of the recording and he has previously been given writers credit on a couple of Ike and Tina's tracks. If it's true we will never know. Anyway, happy birthday Tina!

YourTube 2 - BluesBeaten Redshaw

Our second Youtube sensation is the great  young blues player, BluesBeaten Redshaw, good to see another northerner into the blues. He's played Glastonbury on the 40th Anniversary and he has recently embarked on a tour from North Yorkshire to Switzerland on his 1948 Ferguson Tractor and he's got some great YouTube clips and also has a cd called 'Growing with the blues' out now. Have a look below.. 

What! Is he really posting about Dr Who ??!!!??

I know, I know. I should really be posting about rock and roll, guitars etc but man! 

It’s the anniversary of the first episode of Dr Who. My favourite Dr was that old man William Hartnell, he was the only Dr to smoke (and obviously smoking is cool) and wore Edwardian clothes (which is also cool).

Joe Strummer Films Are Just Like Busses...

The second film being more unusual with the ‘2 days in Paris’ and 'Three colours: white' actress, Julie Deply taking control as the films director.

What do Rodney Dangerfield, Tina Weymouth and Karen O have in common?

JFK

What does Talking Heads bassist Weymouth, Singer O and comedian Rodney Dangerfield have in common?

Well I'll tell you, they were all born the same day that JFK died, not the same year but it's close enough so I can group them together and write about them; Right?

The Moons, Elgazelle and The Minx at The Ruby Lounge - Review

The Moon's James Bagshaw

The Moons, Elgazelle and The Minx Reviewed!

I enter The Ruby Lounge late, spending too long talking to my companion Tom in The Castle Hotel, just down the road. The first band has already started playing and their music sounds strangely familiar, I rush down and plonk my camera equipment on the bar, order two cans of red stripe and a John Smiths for Tom.
