Podcast appearances and mentions of jim gellatly

Our latest Live Music & Me guest was the journalist, DJ and radio presenter Jim Gellatly, who was kind enough to give us an hour from his busy schedule. Jim could remember what his first 2 gigs were ( but not in which order). Tbf, they were both belters. He also regaled us with the time he patched a Bon Jovi gig to go and see Take That ( good decision!) , having a ticket to see Nirvana but not seeing them, and also being offered £800 for his U2 ticket ( and Jason Donavan was in that chat somewhere too). Oh, and also the small matter of moshing at The Sex Pistols gig for all of one song - AND being the first guest to mention the Anti Nowhere League. We guessed Jim would be good company - and we weren't wrong. Thanks Jim - top man. PS Shout out to Stephen Cameron from Into Creative for the super cool backdrop screen image.

They are regarded as the most influential band of all timeand were integral to the development of 1960s counterculture and popular music's recognition as an art form. Rooted in skiffle, beat and 1950s rock 'n' roll, their sound incorporated elements of classical music and traditional pop in innovative ways; the band later explored music styles ranging from ballads and Indian music to psychedelia and hard rock. As pioneers in recording, songwriting and artistic presentation, the Beatles revolutionised many aspects of the music industry and were often publicised as leaders of the era's youth and sociocultural movements. Led by primary songwriters Lennon and McCartney, the Beatles evolved from Lennon's previous group, the Quarrymen, and built their reputation playing clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg over three years from 1960, initially with Stuart Sutcliffe playing bass. The core trio of Lennon, McCartney and Harrison, together since 1958, went through a succession of drummers, including Pete Best, before asking Starr to join them in 1962. Manager Brian Epstein moulded them into a professional act, and producer George Martin guided and developed their recordings, greatly expanding their domestic success after signing to EMI Records and achieving their first hit, "Love Me Do", in late 1962.   Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starr all released solo albums in 1970. Their solo records sometimes involved one or more of the others; Starr's Ringo (1973) was the only album to include compositions and performances by all four ex-Beatles, albeit on separate songs. With Starr's participation, Harrison staged the Concert for Bangladesh in New York City in August 1971. Other than an unreleased jam session in 1974, later bootlegged as A Toot and a Snore in '74, Lennon and McCartney never recorded together again. Two double-LP sets of the Beatles' greatest hits, compiled by Klein, 1962–1966 and 1967–1970, were released in 1973, at first under the Apple Records imprint. Commonly known as the "Red Album" and "Blue Album", respectively, each has earned a Multi-Platinum certification in the US and a Platinum certification in the UK. Between 1976 and 1982, EMI/Capitol released a wave of compilation albums without input from the ex-Beatles, starting with the double-disc compilation Rock 'n' Roll Music. The only one to feature previously unreleased material was The Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl (1977); the first officially issued concert recordings by the group, it contained selections from two shows they played during their 1964 and 1965 US tours. The music and enduring fame of the Beatles were commercially exploited in various other ways, again often outside their creative control. In April 1974, the musical John, Paul, George, Ringo ... and Bert, written by Willy Russell and featuring singer Barbara Dickson, opened in London. It included, with permission from Northern Songs, eleven Lennon-McCartney compositions and one by Harrison, "Here Comes the Sun". Displeased with the production's use of his song, Harrison withdrew his permission to use it.Later that year, the off-Broadway musical Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band on the Road opened. All This and World War II (1976) was an unorthodox nonfiction film that combined newsreel footage with covers of Beatles songs by performers ranging from Elton John and Keith Moon to the London Symphony Orchestra. The Broadway musical Beatlemania, an unauthorised nostalgia revue, opened in early 1977 and proved popular, spinning off five separate touring productions. In 1979, the band sued the producers, settling for several million dollars in damages. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1978), a musical film starring the Bee Gees and Peter Frampton, was a commercial failure and an "artistic fiasco", according to Ingham. Accompanying the wave of Beatles nostalgia and persistent reunion rumours in the US during the 1970s, several entrepreneurs made public offers to the Beatles for a reunion concert.Promoter Bill Sargent first offered the Beatles $10 million for a reunion concert in 1974. He raised his offer to $30 million in January 1976 and then to $50 million the following month. On 24 April 1976, during a broadcast of Saturday Night Live, producer Lorne Michaels jokingly offered the Beatles $3,000 to reunite on the show. Lennon and McCartney were watching the live broadcast at Lennon's apartment at the Dakota in New York, which was within driving distance of the NBC studio where the show was being broadcast. The former bandmates briefly entertained the idea of going to the studio and surprising Michaels by accepting his offer, but decided not to.   The Fratellis are a Scottish rock band from Glasgow, formed in 2005. The band consists of three unrelated members, who perform under pseudonyms: lead vocalist and guitarist Jon Fratelli, bassist Barry Fratelli, and drummer Mince Fratelli. Their singles "Chelsea Dagger" and "Whistle for the Choir" were both top ten hits in the UK charts. The band's name came from the criminal family in The Goonies and received their first radio playing in 2005, on central Scotland's Beat 106 (later XFM Scotland, now Capital Scotland) Beatscene show hosted by Jim Gellatly. They were signed by Fallout Records after less than 10 shows. The band formed after the band members placed adverts in record stores around Glasgow, originally forming as a four-piece with Mince on lead guitar and a drummer called Chris who was soon fired. They played their first "proper" show on 4 March 2005 in the O'Henry's bar in Glasgow across the road from the Horseshoe bar. The Fratellis EP was released on 3 April 2006, featuring the tracks "Stacie Anne" and "The Gutterati?". "Creepin' Up the Backstairs" was never a single released by the band, even though a video was made for it. The first single released by the band was Henrietta, which was released on 12 June 2006 and charted at number 19 on the UK Charts. Costello Music was the debut album for the Fratellis and was released on 11 September 2006. It charted at number two in the UK album charts for three weeks. The success of the album led to the Fratellis winning the Brit Award for British Breakthrough Act in 2007, an award that was voted for by BBC Radio One listeners.   The Fratellis supported Kasabian in December 2006 on their UK tour before playing 10 dates by themselves in February and March 2007. The tour of the UK festival circuit, playing at Glastonbury and headlining at festivals such as NME's Rock 'n' Riot tour, OXEGEN 2007 and T in the Park 2007, amongst others. They also opened for The Police Reunion Tour in the summer of 2007 in some of the North America dates. The Fratellis also recorded some cover songs during the year including "All Along the Watchtower" for Radio 1's 40th Anniversary Double Album, Radio 1: Established 1967, and "Solid Gold Easy Action" for the soundtrack of the film Hot Fuzz, which also included the single "Baby Fratelli".

From the early days of meeting through music shop adverts, their first radio spin with Jim Gellatly playing of Creeping Up The Backstairs to hitting the heights and having worldwide success. We talk about some of the memories that will last forever like Tops of the Pops, Jools Holland, on-stage with Roger Daltrey at the Royal Albert Hall, the Brits Awards and subsequent afterparty with Oasis. Baz talks about touring and the early albums before taking a 5 year break then reuniting and continuing to do it all over again to the present day. He is forever grateful for the support they receive the world over, being able to play to thousands in America, Japan and more. Chelsea Dagger is a song that is instantly recognisable and the reach of that single is incredible. It is played at Scotland's National Stadium at every football fixture and Baz tells us how the Chicago Blackhawks have adopted it as their official anthem.

Welcome to the Walking Heads Talking Feet podcast. We’ve been pretty quiet over the last few months but we’ve been busy plotting out the year ahead and take the podcast across Scotland. We have also been working alongside friends and creatives in the podcast community to help develop new strands & content, which we will hopefully be previewing in the coming weeks. In the meantime, we are back in Glasgow, being led through the city by two of our very knowledgeable tour guides, in a crossover episode looking at two main themes of our audio walking tours. Broadcaster Jim Gellatly, who listeners should recognise from our first episode and the Glasgow Music Tour, is joined by GSA Professor Johnny Rodger from our ‘A Brisk Walk’ Tour, looking at Dereliction & Architecture in Glasgow. Sauchiehall Street holds so many key destinations on Glasgow Music Tour, two of which being the 02 ABC and GSA, which were tragically devastated by the fire of 2018. While we wait to hear when and how they might come back to life, new music venues are opening along this famous street, which also features in our A Brisk Walk Tour. We asked Jim and Johnny to bring us up to date with what is happening in Sauchiehall street and what it says about Glasgow life. Bringing together their knowledge in these areas makes for a particularly engaging conversation with some surprises and many memories, including, of all people, John F Kennedy on Sauchiehall Street, can you believe?!You’ve been listening to the Talking Feet podcast, produced by Walking Heads.

On this weeks XS Noize Music Podcast Larry Love from The Alabama 3 talks to Mark Millar about the bands new album ‘Blues' and 20 year anniversary. Alabama 3 are set to release brand new album on the Hostage Music label on the 28th of October 2016. ‘Blues', is their thirteenth long player and was recorded and co-produced with Wizard (Chemical Brothers, Dizzee Rascal, X-Press 2, Wiley, DJ Fresh, M.I.A. / Diplo, Chase & Status) at Dean Street Studios in London this year. The new album features ten tracks, including the forthcoming new single ‘(I'll Never Be) Satisfied', and brings together their now trademark chain gang clarion calls, bittersweet dope laments, sleazy whiskey rhythms, wailing harmonicas and obligatory Delta slide to great effect. Too many highlights to mention, this is a essentially a straight ahead Rock 'n' Roll record that captures and embraces every human emotion and is possibly the infamous London band's most complete and finest collection of songs to date. This weeks featured track is ‘Runaway' the latest single from Manchester indie band ‘Affairs'. With a run of 3 singles: Blood Science, Brothers and Play, Manchester band AFFAIRS have established themselves on the UK indie music scene and now come with their debut EP Stained Gold featuring the single Runaway.

There aren't many things weirder than sitting across from an experienced broadcaster and interviewing him. It's like the tables have turned. Usually Vic's the one doing the interviewing.It's also an experience which is pretty fraught with self-doubt - this guy talks to people for a living and here I am, some fresh out the box, self-styled, new media interloper talking to a guy who has literally thousands of interviews under his belt. How can I compare? Am I being judged? Is this going badly? I should have had more questions. What am I even doing? etc.It's best not to think about it.Vic's an interesting guy who's lived a lot and experienced a lot. Being in his company is an experience which can only be described as kinetic. He exudes a very unique, intense, and passionate kind of energy which is akin to the buzz one used to feel as a kid when you walked into a toy shop.Except for people like us, it's not a toy shop. It's a record shop. And we're not kids anymore. We're grown ass men who love music. From this interview I think you get the sense that Vic just absorbs everything in the world that fascinates him, wide eyed and open armed.It's infectious, sure. But most of all it's pure. There's no pretension.We cover a lot of ground in the podcast, some of the highlights include:His current (and resurrected) band Khartoum Heroes.Growing up with 50s rock n roll and classical music.Adam Ant as a musical turning point.Buzzcocks covers before his voice even broke.Never being discouraged by his parents to pursue an artists' life even if they don't understand the art he makes and enjoys.King Creosote, James Yorkston, his old band Huckleberry playing T in the Park, doing an NME Tour, playing Reading and Leeds,  having music played John Peel's and Steve Lamaq's radio shows.Hedonism, perhaps being dead now if he'd have made it at 22.Most artists who are good get better with age.Jim Gellatly and how it used to be much harder to get heard. Alternative music used to be alternative, now it's seeped into the mainstream.How he hadn't thought about journalism at all and how he got involved at the BBC almost by accident.How he just took as many jobs related to music as possible, like doing lights in venues, writing for fanzines, doing PR for labels, putting on club nights, DJing…Choosing not to move to London and deciding to stay in Scotland.The best way to keep your interest in new music is up to keep your interest varied and to mix it up. People get bored of new music because they're not finding the good stuff.Feeling lucky and honoured to have the job he has.Songs in the Key of Fife – how that came about and the bands from Kingsbarns and St Andrews: KT Tunstall, The Pictish Trail, The Beta Band, the Fence Collective, King Creosote, The Withered Hand etc.How Vic got into acting at school, was in the youth theatre and used to run acting workshops in school, how he applied to RADA but rock n roll got his soul. He hopes to go back to it one day…Also discusses how he thinks humans are penned in by themselves and you need to push yourself to have new experiences. If you're interested in something you have to chance your arm and try it.Featured MusicIntro: Voodoo Puppets – Electric Chair Blues (used under CC licence, you can check it out here).Henry Mancini - The Pink Panther Theme,Adam and the Ants - The Day I Met God,The Beta Band - Dry the Rain.I make no claim to the copyright of any of the music in this episode.LinksCheck out Vic's BBC page here for all of his latest shows, podcasts and news.
