Your Top 10 Favourite Bands

[missunderstood]

Wake aArms was pulled down and the roundabout opposite is called the Wake Arms! We've probably all crossed paths there albeit in different decades!

 

Anyone see Black Sabbath there or was I somewhere else?

 

I think black Sabbath did play there but I never saw them. I remember watching Thin Lizzie there, and Leslie Crowther was in the crowd and was p1ssed as a newt. I think his son was one of the group.

 

The top local group in those days was Tony Rivers and the Castaways (AKA Harmony Grass), who always played to packed venues.

Fcking hell you'll make me mist up with reminiscence next. I've convinced myself I remember this tall blonde girl wearing a turtleneck jumper, brown/green floral skirt and leather jacket and she probably fancied me but didn't dare show it with Phil present. Probably true.

Yes, who would have thought that, Leslie Crowther of Crackerjack fame the iconic Philip Lynott's Father in Law, I wonder what the topic of conversation was around the dinner table

[Loose]

"Pass the marujooana" I expect.

Is it five to five on a Friday yet and is there any whiskey left in the jar o?

[Rhodes]

Crowther's daughter must have been something else back then for Lynott to be interested in her, do we know if they had any children before he sadly died

[The Mayor Of Simpleton]

oh dear no mention of new music....theres some wonderful bands out there and the wonderful thing is no one legally buys their music so they stay raw and hungry when everyone steals music no chance of bands become bloated and performing in football stadiums, please check out Girls,Cloud Nothings,the animal collective and many others.

 

You are right, Basil, but due to the X Factor/Pop Idol/Simon Cowell and co stranglehold on the music industry it is very difficult for them to gain attention from the general public.

 

However, I would give a nod towards:

 

Fleet Foxes

Mumford & Sons

My Morning Jacket

Tin Spirits (featuring Dave Gregory from XTC)

Maybe "new music" hasn't been mentioned because us old farts that post on this forum think today's music is a load of old rubbish. There's no question in my mind that the 60s was the golden age of music, and sadly will never be repeated.

My apologies - You are right. Wrong daughter, and heres the report of Phil's tragic death.

 

 

 

1986: Thin Lizzy star dies.

 

Phil Lynott, the former lead singer of the rock band Thin Lizzy, has died from heart failure and pneumonia after an 11-day fight for his life.

 

The 36-year-old rock star had been admitted to Salisbury Hospital in Wiltshire with a serious kidney and liver infection on Christmas Day, after he collapsed from a drink and drug binge at his home in Surrey.

 

His estranged wife, Caroline, the daughter of TV celebrity Leslie Crowther, had rushed to help him, driving 100 miles (160km) from her house in Bath to his mansion in Kew.

 

She drove him first to a specialist drugs clinic in Wiltshire, where doctors recommended that he should be admitted to Salisbury's intensive care unit.
