emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with John Cooper Clarke, originally episode 240 from 2018-11-21.Original writeup below!–––––––––––––––––––––––––“If I was a band I would have split up years ago…”Hopefully you are aware of the fellow and his work, but if that's not the case, well you have a glorious road ahead of you… Pip sits down with the legendary punk poet to comb through all the good stuff - being the force of nature he is, most of the heavy lifting is done by John himself but as you'll hear, this is not a problem in the slightest. Just tune in and take a ride with the story telling genius and indulge in those sweet Northern tones. From history to now, it all gets covered - his inspirational teacher who encouraged him in all kinds of ways, cultivating his own style from the cast in his life and picking up little elements from everyone he appreciated, the cerebral of poetry vs the immediate of rock and roll, his love and adoption of American style and trends, aiming to be an ‘artist as professional citizen', having the door to success opened to him by none other than Bernard Manning of all people, NO FLARES, gigging with The Fall, Chickentown, Arctic Monkeys, Michael Madson, and as you can imagine - AN IMMENSE AMOUNT MORE!

Chapter One Feven Feven - Fexifm. It's just gone midday on 21st November 2024 and a toned Richard Herring, straight from a perfonal training feffion, is out clearing stones from the melting frozen vulva of the soil. Desperate for new listeners to replace the ones who have died from boredom he tries to emulate Peter Kay, Bernard Manning and Ricky Gervais to bring in the clicks, but will it work or will it alienate his two female listeners. No matter, there's some lovely stone clearing to listen to and it's a beautiful day so soak in the winter sun rays (audio only) and liften to the ftones.

There's no shortage of actors and presenters churning out music so we couldn't resist 'reviewing' the likes of Nick Knowles, David Hasslehoff, Chris Kamara, Bernard Manning and many more.

This week a slight departure as Chris Diamond returns to take a leisurely meander through the world of British comedy, randomly choosing from a selection of topics (such as Who Was The Fifth Goon?) and pondering upon the genius (or otherwise) of such performers as Kenneth Williams, Michael Bentine, Bob Monkhouse, Arthur English, Hinge & Bracket, Bernard Manning and Spike Milligan, plus shows such as 15 Stories High, The Good Life, One Foot In The Grave, Blackadder, Nearest & Dearest, French & Saunders and Rising Damp.

What have Barry Manilow, Bernard Matthews and Bernard Manning got to do with speaking from the heart? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! But other than this slight confusion about who's who, Bobby and Bridge do manage to get into the topic as to why it really is SO hard to speak from your heart to another's. Fear of rejection, vulnerability? Putting on an act to mask true feelings? Or blasting when you haven't spoken what's truly in your heart and kept it bottled in? Do any of these sound like you? Come and have a listen.

This time we go Behind the Scenes with the fearless, highly talented singer Gilly Hamilton, whose career spanned 3 decades and encompassed the halcyon days of show business and variety. As a key member of the pop-music close-harmony trio The Kaye Sisters she appeared alongside most of the major entertainment stars of the 1970s through to the 1990s. Supporting Max Bygraves, the Kayes appeared in the 1978 Royal Variety, shared a long-running residency in London's West End and performed regularly on many of Max's top-rated television series With recollections of ATV's live ‘Saturday Variety' with Larry Grayson, not forgetting Bernard Manning on Granada's ‘The Wheeltappers and Shunters Social Club', plus the travails of working cabaret all across Britain and the Middle East, Gilly's career is a remarkable eye-witness account of what it was really like to be treading the boards during the Golden Age of entertainment.

‘I Wanna Be Yours', the superb memoir by “the bargain basement Baudelaire”, is now out in paperback, much of it an account of growing up in Salford. Here he looks back at the days when “the Rialto cinema was my babysitter”, seeing Little Richard aged 11, the fine details of the Beatles' tailoring, old TV ads, Stanley Holloway, Joe Loss, “Woodman, Spare That Tree”, the Mecca ballrooms, the Bernard Manning audition that launched his career, the pure sensory overload of hearing rock and roll in fairgrounds and life in a flat with two members of the Velvet Underground. It's extremely funny and revealing – and, for anyone old enough to remember those times, exquisitely nostalgic. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wanna-Yours-John-Cooper-Clarke/dp/1509896104 @official_jcc http://johncooperclarke.com/gigs/ https://johncooperclarke.com/ Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Ben Baker has always been fascinated by the world of pop parodies - musical spoofs or pastiches of existing bands, singers and genres - from "Spitting Image" to "Horrible Histories". In this first edition he looks at three and a bit decades of ribbing directed at the Mancunian mouthpiece that is Steven Patrick Bulbous Overcoat Morrissey and The Smiths. A misunderstood and unfortunately all too understood character that many have taken great delight in aping or paying tribute to, including Radio Active, Who Dares Wins, Frank Sidebottom, Mitch Benn, MJ Hibbett, The Mary Whitehouse Experience, Mystery Science Theater 3000, Bill Nye The Science Guy, Armando Iannucci, Harry Hill, Jay Foreman, Darrell Maclaine and...Bernard Manning?! --------------------------------------------- Why Cant I Be You? is written and produced by Ben Baker. All clips come under review as fair use and are copyright their original sources. Got someone in mind you'd like me to cover in a future "Why Can't I Be You"? Or spot any Moz-mocking that I've missed. Let me know on Twitter @BenBakerBooks. And remember the lesson of The Smiths. Just because a bunch of wankers like it, doesn't mean that it's shit....

Bernard Manning said, “I once bought my kids a set of batteries for Christmas with a note saying, toys not included.” As we close out 2020, I thought of this quote and it seemed to sum up some people’s feelings for most of the year. 2020 has been mostly one big disappointment, or has it . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2020/12/toys-need-batteries/

Edward guarantees his bins will never be collected again, Ian summarily chalks off one of Mariah Carey's UK number 1 singles and Bernard Manning gets a well-deserved kicking.Meanwhile, Barry Manilow sends corset buttons popping in all directions, Edward gets a tattoo and there's an unseemly argument about chestnuts which suggests that the pressure of this stupid project is starting to get to our heroes already.

From New York to Blackpool, Bernard Manning to Pavarotti! What an extraordinary journey Robin has been on. 

It's Castlebar Vs Dublin this week on Canary as Martin and Ger find out once and for all which place is better. Ger has a new job working the phone sex lines and the ghost of Bernard Manning pays tribute to David Bowie

Looks Unfamiliar is a podcast in which writer and occasional broadcaster Tim Worthington talks to a guest about some of the things that they remember that nobody else ever seems to. Joining Tim this time is theatre critic Shanine Salmon, who's hoping not to have a restricted view of the ill-advised 1993 refit of the EastEnders theme, E4  old vs. new comedians reality show Kings Of Comedy, Channel 5 stand-up show Club Class, hard-hitting anti-drug campaigns aimed at schoolchildren, BBC Three game show Sack Race, and Jerry Hall's dating show Kept. Along the way we'll be finding out what happens if you play the EastEnders theme backwards, the real reason why Bernard Manning never did Reality TV, how much 'Entertainment' could actually be found in The Ian Wright Entertainment Show, and why you should always steer clear of women in Marc Almond eyeshadow. You can find more editions of Looks Unfamiliar at http://timworthington.org/

We continue our deep dive into the history of racist British comedians. In this episode we talk about such racist British sitcoms as Til Death Do Us Part, Curry and Chips, and Peter Sellers role in The Party. Plus we recap some of the highlights of the racist comedy careers of comedian Jim Davidson, Roy Chubby Brown, and Bernard Manning. And what finally changed the face of British comedy?

Roseanne Barr was on top of the world again - until she wrote a racist tweet. ABC responded by yanking her show off the air. Meanwhile, over in the UK, the country has a long history of racist comedians - who say things on stage that are even worse than what Roseanne wrote. Such comedians as Roy Chubby Brown, Bernard Manning, and Jim Davidson are fixtures into British comedy history; despite doing very racist material.

No podcast this week as Ger was busy painting his nails and they weren't dry enough to edit a whole show. Luckily the ghost of Bernard Manning is a huge Rolling Stones fan and decided to send us his tribute to the band before they play Dublin next week.

Martin's racist neighbour slips on some black ice and he discovers an old tape of Bernard Manning's comedy set. Ger Staunton the comedian also eats crisps.

Tommy is 85 and a true Manc, born and bred. Funny, gregarious and blessed with a great big heart and a thousand brilliant stories, he’s still a well-known character in his neighbourhood. He worked hard all his life and ended up as Site Foreman at Mather & Platt in Newton Heath. When he was growing up, he hung round with a young, shy lad called Bernard Manning and he was recently award the British Empire Medal for his tireless community work. Lovely, lovely old boy.

Eddie Mair: You were sitting next to Boris Johnson during the speech, do you think people want Bernard Manning as foreign secretary? Amber Rudd: I dont quite agree with that approach, I think that the foreign secretary has an important job to do and will be getting on and doing it. EM: I want to ask you about Theresa May's judgement in appointing and keeping Boris Johnson as foreign secretary. As you know he said last night that the Libyan city Sirte "could be the new Dubai” adding “all they have to do is clear the dead bodies away.” He hasn't apologised, why doesn't she sack him? AR: The prime minister can appoint her own cabinet, we know that, Boris has set out his full explanation of why EM: …no he hasn't, he has merely criticised the critics. AR: He has set out his view on the situation in Sirte, he has expanded on it, and you know what… EM: “He has said that it's a shame that people with no knowledge or understanding of Libya want to play politics” he said... AR: I think he said a bit more than that. EM: Well I can read the rest of the quote but he didn't apologise. AR: Well by all means if you really think the public…I didn't suggest that he had, that was your phrase. I'm not going to be drawn further down the Boris vortex Eddie, but I'm very happy to discuss anything else in the speech or the policies that are really relevant to people at home. EM: Well I think foreign policy is relevant isn't it, as well as the Conservative MPs who think he should go, Guma El-Gamaty the leader of the of the Taghyeer Party and a member of the UN backed Libyan political dialogue process said this about those comments: "It upsets me because it comes from a very high ranking official who is in charge of the foreign policy of the united kingdom. And it upsets me because it totally disregards the human aspect of the young Libyans who died." Again, I ask you about Theresa May's judgement in appointing and keeping Boris Johnson as foreign secretary. AR: It is up to the Prime Minister who she appoints and keeps. EM: Why doesn't she sack him? AR: As I say it is up to the Prime Minister. EM: And I'm asking about her judgement. When she appointed him she knew he had published a poem about the Turkish president having sex with a goat. She knew he had described president Obama as part Kenyan. She knew he had referred to "Papua New Guinea style orgies of cannibalism and chief killing." She knew he talked about tribal warriors in Congo breaking out in watermelon smiles. And she knew he said that Liverpool had failed to acknowledge the role what he called “drunken fans” played in the Hillsborough disaster. I suggest to you the reason Theresa May doesn't sack him is because she fears a leadership challenge.
