The Summerwine.net music thread

One from the great Roy Wood . Just back off holiday met a couple who ran various pubs in Midlands one had multiple rooms. One day a lady came in an asked if a band could rehearse there every Tuesday they said yes as slow day agreed £25 for the use , the lady insisted no one was allowed to go in . The people I met were gobsmacked when Roy Wood turned up with his band , clearly the band could be heard , word spread his takings went up to thousands from a few quid and he got to know Roy well . I have to say i was in awe he is one of my favourite musicians ever so inventive and accomplished.

 
Not a huge fan but always liked Squeeze. I didn't know that much about them apart from the "Singles 45" compilation CD (which my family listened to quite often for several years in the car : ) and wondered why they weren't bigger in the US. Stumbled upon this (old and very lengthy) thread on a forum I usually associate with discussions about stereo equipment. I've not read the entire thing (20 pages !) but random clicking through some pages/comments appeared to be spot on and insightful. Sharing for those interested.
 
Watched Jools Hootenanny one word DIRE , hopefully that's the last, hard to describe how bad it was , when you think the people he used to attract now reduced to has beens of yesteryear and younger artists who are trying to make an impact but are failing miserably . Roger Taylor singing a medley of Little Richard hits , Really!! and the creme de la creme of those whose ship sailed long long ago and were mediocre at best the Boomtown Rats words just fail me .

I didn't see it, but ohhh I have very little difficulty imagining it.
Jools Hootenanny was almost a yearly ritual for me and mates in past years and now it's just 'WhoToNanny?'.

Awful just Awful :frown2:
