Gerry Colvin in conversation with David Eastaugh https://www.gerrycolvin.co.uk/index.html In the 1970's Gerry joined pop band 'The Man Upstairs'. They released three singles and toured with 'The Smiths'. In the early 1980's he co-founded and fronted the legendary John Peel favourite skiffle-cowpunk indie outfit 'Terry & Gerry'. This seminal band toured Europe and the USA and appeared on countless Radio and TV shows including "The Tube" and "The Old Grey Whistle Test". Their five singles and album all reached No.1 in the indie charts. In 2010 Cherry Red released 'Let's Get the Hell Back to Lubbock', the definitive 'Terry and Gerry' compilation.

It was a great pleasure for this week's Nostalgia Interviews podcast to meet Simon Smith who was at Lampeter from 1988-91, where he studied Religious Studies, and then stayed on for the Interfaith Studies MA. Simon worked in a bank for six years before going to university, and we find out why he chose Lampeter of all places, and he reflects on the shape of the department of Theology and Religious in those days. He talks about how he could never have expected to write an essay on The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy before embarking on his course. We talk about the perennial question ‘Are you religious?' and why it is important to study religion without having to subscribe to a particular tradition. Simon explains why he enjoyed the interactive element of MA teaching, and we learn about his work at the Philosophical and Religious Studies Study Centre in Leeds. Simon was born in Chester, moved to Hull and then near Birmingham, and we talk about Simon's music interests including the blog he writes. He was nine years old when he bought his first single, and we learn that his mother had the Light Programme on during the day when he was very young. His father was a BP tanker driver and Simon remembers once picking out a jukebox single while on one of the journeys. We find out too about Simon's radio memories including John Peel's shows, and listening to the charts on Tuesday lunchtimes when he would write down the Top 40 as it was being broadcast and would then share it with his friends at school. It was the centre of the week. Simon also used to create his own charts. Simon shares his thoughts on the music press and seeing John Peel and Gary Numan on Top of the Pops, and hearing the news of the death of John Lennon on Radio 1. We discuss the role of cultural memories and the death of cultural icons, as well as the seminal role played by Miles Davis and seeing The Damned perform on The Old Grey Whistle Test. We talk about quasi-memories and whether we can remember the memories of other people, and at the end of the interview Simon discusses the ways in which bad and good memories have affected him, and he reveals the lesson that he would impart to his younger self.

(Por Tiempo Limitado) https://teespring.com/es/stores/biblioteca-del-metal-1 Camel es un grupo de rock británico, formado en Londres en 1969 y consolidado en 1971. Es uno de los pioneros del rock progresivo, y uno de los pilares fundamentales del género, junto a bandas como Pink Floyd, Yes, Genesis, o King Crimson. También participó en la Escena de Canterbury. Considerada como una de las mejores bandas inglesas surgidas en la década de 1970, Camel combinó elementos tomados del jazz, la música clásica y barroca, el blues e incluso la música electrónica, para crear álbumes de notable creatividad y precisión técnica. Los inicios de Camel se sitúan hacia 1964, cuando los hermanos Andrew e Ian Latimer se unieron a sus amigos Alan Butcher y Richard Over para formar un grupo llamado The Phantom Four. En 1969, Andrew organiza otro grupo, The Brew, junto a Doug Ferguson en el bajo y Andy Ward en la batería. El trío se unió al solista Phil Goodhand-Tait para la grabación del disco "I think I´ll Write A Song" y su posterior gira a principios de 1971. Para diciembre de 1971, Camel ha adquirido ya su nombre definitivo y la formación clásica del grupo, con Peter Bardens (teclados, voz), Doug Ferguson (bajo, voz), Andy Ward (batería, percusiones) y Andrew Latimer (guitarra, flauta, voz). En agosto de 1972, firmaron un contrato con MCA Records y grabaron su primer disco. En medio de las grabaciones, el productor Dave Williams les sugiere que contraten un cantante. Tras realizar una audición a casi 30 candidatos, deciden cantar ellos mismos. El timbre peculiar de las voces de Latimer y Bardens se convierte en uno de los rasgos distintivos del grupo. Su álbum homónimo de debut lanzado en 1973, Camel, obtiene poco éxito. Sin embargo, con el tiempo se convertiría en uno de sus trabajos más representativos. Canciones como Slow Yourself Down o Never Let Go y números instrumentales como Arubaluba o Six Ate fueron perfilando el sonido de la banda. La exigencia y falta de éxito comercial les lleva a romper con su discográfica, tras lo cual recalan en Decca, con la que permanecieron durante los diez años siguientes. El primer disco para Decca, segundo de su carrera, fue Mirage. Álbum grabado noviembre de 1973 y lanzado en marzo del año siguiente. Aquí Latimer se estrena ejecutando la flauta, dándole un nuevo sonido característico a la banda. No hubo sencillo de promoción, ni tampoco entró en las listas inglesas, pero la respuesta de los medios de comunicación en general con el disco acabado era muy prometedora. La prestigiosa revista Sounds fue una de las primeras en alabar el trabajo y Andy Ward y Doug Ferguson fueron descritos como una máquina bien engrasada. Aún más lejos fue la revista musical Beat que declaró a Mirage como Álbum del Mes, y finalmente llegó la sorpresa cuando el disco entró en los Billboard Top 149 y permaneció visible durante nada menos que 13 semanas. Hoy, Mirage está considerado como uno de los discos imprescindibles dentro del rock sinfónico de todos los tiempos. La revista Rolling Stone lo incluyó en el puesto 21 de los 50 grandes discos de Rock Progresivo de todos los tiempos.​ En abril de 1975 editan el álbum The Snow Goose, enteramente instrumental, que está basado en la novela homónima de Paul Gallico. Aunque el propio escritor mostró su descontento, pues los relacionó con la marca de cigarrillos —Gallico los detestaba— se trata de una obra magistral que se convertiría en el álbum clásico del grupo. El 17 de abril de 1975 el álbum fue presentado en un concierto en el Royal Albert Hall de la capital inglesa junto a la Orquesta Sinfónica de Londres . Fue el paso definitivo de Camel a la escena internacional. Por vez primera entra en las listas inglesas de los álbumes más vendidos alcanzando el Top 20 y manteniéndose en listas durante más de tres meses , alcanzando el honor de revistas prestigiosas como Melody Maker y participaron en el programa de televisión "Old Grey Whistle Test" de la BBC (donde actuaron junto a una pequeña orquesta de cámara). En 1976 editan Moonmadness, reclutando al saxofonista Mel Collins para su presentación en vivo. El baterista Ward empujaba el sonido de la banda hacia el jazz y eso trajo las primeras tensiones en el grupo, que dieron como resultado la marcha de Ferguson. En 1977 se edita Rain Dances, con varias colaboraciones de músicos como Brian Eno, y entra al grupo Richard Sinclair, ex-Caravan. En 1978 sale el álbum Breathless, tras cuyo lanzamiento Peter Bardens abandona Camel. Como sustitutos para la gira correspondiente contrataron dos teclistas: Dave Sinclair, primo de Richard Sinclair y ex-Caravan, y a Jan Schelhaas, que más adelante acabarían uniéndose a Caravan. Estos cuatro últimos trabajos discográficos les dieron el éxito tanto en Europa como en Japón. Al finalizar la última gira, los Sinclair se fueron y les relevaron Kit Watkins y Colin Bass. Esta formación grabó su álbum más comercial hasta la fecha, I Can See Your House From Here (1979). El grupo inició la década con el álbum conceptual Nude (1981), basado en la historia del soldado japonés Hiroo Onoda, que se mantuvo oculto durante varios años después de acabada la Segunda Guerra Mundial, sin saber que ésta ya había acabado. Para este disco Latimer tuvo que recurrir a los teclados de Duncan MacKay, ya que Watkins y Bass andaban inmersos en otros proyectos, si bien participaron en la gira de presentación del LP. Comenzó a colaborar en las letras la esposa de Latimer, Susan Hoover. Ya en 1981 la compañía discográfica celebra los diez años del grupo y la cifra de 1.500.000 copias vendidas de sus discos anteriores y edita "The Chamaleón" un recopilatorio con canciones escogidas por Latimer y Ward. A mediados de 1981, Andy Ward abandona la banda por problemas con las drogas y el alcohol y Camel se disuelve. Sin grupo y presionado por la discográfica para sacar un nuevo disco, Latimer se rodea de músicos invitados para sacar The Single Factor. Luego saldría Stationary Traveller, álbum en que Latimer buscó la colaboración de Ton Scherpenzeel, teclista del grupo neerlandés Kayak, y el baterista Paul Burges. Este trabajo fue muy bien recibido por la crítica y Colin Bass volvió para la gira, junto con Chris Rainbow y Richie Close. A partir de este momento, Bass estaría presente en todas las formaciones de Camel. Tras la publicación de Pressure Points, concierto grabado durante la gira de 1984, la banda desapareció por un largo periodo. A inicios de la década de 1990 Latimer volvió a usar el nombre de Camel, aunque él era ya el único miembro fundador que permanecía en el grupo. Decide vender su casa en Inglaterra y se muda a Estados Unidos, donde funda el sello discográfico Camel Productions. En el año 1991 el grupo edita Dust and Dreams, un álbum conceptual basado en la novela Las uvas de la ira de John Steinbeck. Dust and Dreams fue escrito a mediados de los ochenta pero Andy Latimer reescribió gran parte del álbum ya en California incorporando músicos estadounidenses. Tras siete años sin salir de gira el grupo se pone en marcha como cuarteto con Andy Latimer, Colin Bass, Paul Burgess más la inclusión de Mickey Simmons (ex-Mike Oldfield, Fish) en los teclados. Tanto la gira como el disco fue muy bien recibido por la crítica, especialmente en el Norte de Europa, lo que en cierta manera significaba un éxito para el grupo tras apostar por su independencia del mainstream. Ahora, con la total libertad artística consolidada Camel comienza una producción discográfica de los años siguientes que comprende numerosos álbumes en directo de anteriores giras y nuevos álbumes y colaboraciones con otros artistas. El siguiente álbum en estudio concebido entre Andy y su esposa Susan, fue Harbour of Tears (1996), dedicado al puerto de Cobh (Irlanda), desde donde embarcaron muchos emigrantes hacia EE. UU. durante la gran hambruna irlandesa de 1845-1849. Tras ello realizaron una gira por Estados Unidos, Europa y Japón, tras la cual editaron Coming of Age en doble CD y DVD grabado en directo en la misma. Harbour of Tears recuperó a muchos de los seguidores de Camel y entra en las listas Neerlandesas devolviendo al grupo el interés de los seguidores del rock progresivo. En 1999 la banda formada por Latimer, Stewart, Bass y Scherpenzeel grabó Rajaz, un retorno a sus raíces de rock progresivo, inspirado en el rastro dejado por los dromedarios en desierto que sirve de guía a los nómadas. Álbum diferente en composición a los dos anteriores en el que predominaba la música más sinfónica y compuesta desde el piano, en este nuevo disco la guitarra se convierte en centro de la mayoría de los temas. Ese mismo año, Colin Bass edita un álbum en solitario, el fabuloso "An Outcast of the Islands" que contaba con la participación de sus compañeros Andy Latimer y Dave Stewart. Pero tras la grabación del disco, Stewart deja la banda y se muda a Escocia, y para la gira de ese año, fue sustituido por Denis Clement, incorporándose también a los teclados Guy LeBlanc. Quedando la formación de la siguiente manera: Andy Latimer, Colin Bass, Denis Clement y Guy Leblanc. A mediados del año 2000 emprenden una serie de conciertos y en 2001 por primera vez, el grupo realiza una exitosa gira por Sudamérica. En el 2002 lanzan un nuevo álbum de estudio titulado A Nod and a Wink, como homenaje a Peter Bardens, fallecido en enero del mismo año, y en 2003 emprenden una gira mundial a la que denominan "The Last Farewell" con la que comunican el fin de giras mundiales y centrarse más en giras más limitadas en espacio y tiempo. Luego de un tiempo, el grupo desaparece de escena durante un largo período, dando a conocer pocas noticias de Camel. Andy Latimer y Susan Hoover anuncian que retornan a Inglaterra donde establecen nuevamente la base de operaciones de Camel Productions en el futuro. En el año 2006 aparece la noticia de una colaboración de Andy Latimer con Roger Waters de Pink Floyd para unirse a la gira de Dark Side Of The Moon, pero finalmente no se lleva a cabo. En el año 2008 publican en su sitio oficial que una grave enfermedad había afectado la salud de Andrew Latimer. Este mismo año recibe un trasplante de médula ósea acompañado de un intenso tratamiento, con el cual logra recuperar casi el total de su salud. Tras esta conmovedora noticia para Camel, la banda se toma una pausa indefinida, esperando la recuperación completa de Latimer, y tampoco dan a conocer nuevas noticias. Finalmente en el año 2010 se publica el DVD The Opening Farewell, perteneciente al último concierto dado en su última gira, y Andy comienza a reaparecer como músico sesionista en varios álbumes y colaboraciones con distintos grupos. Camel regresa en 2013 a los escenarios con una extensa gira por Europa y Reino Unido de conciertos celebrando los 40 años del mítico álbum The Snow Goose, del cual se publica una reedición. Bajo la nueva formación compuesta por Andy Latimer, Colin Bass, Guy LeBlanc, Jason Hart y Denis Clement, el grupo vuelve a surgir en escena. Durante la gira se graba el concierto en el Teatro Barbican de Londres y editado posteriormente en DVD In From The Cold, que se divide en 2 discos. Andy Latimer recibió en 2014 el premio Lifetime Achievement de mano de la prestigiosa revista musical Prog de teamrock.com y una nominación en la categoría de Evento en Vivo por la gira The Snow Goose. Para 2014-15 el grupo gira nuevamente por Europa presentando esta vez un repertorio de los temas más emblemáticos de su larga trayectoria, con especial atención al álbum Moonmadness el cual tocan casi al completo. La formación sigue siendo la misma excepto la incorporación de Ton Scherpenzeel en sustitución debido a grave enfermedad de Guy LeBlanc, fallecido en 2015. En mayo de 2016, Camel extiende sus actuaciones a Japón y Andy Latimer afirma tener grabado material casi para cinco discos, pero sin confirmar si al menos algo de ese nuevo material será editado. El puesto de teclista lo ocupa el joven Pete Jones. El 17 de septiembre de 2018 Camel inició su gira "Moonmadness Tour 2018" en el Royal Albert Hall de Londres, donde grabaron su último material audiovisual. El 29 de noviembre de 2021 Camel anunció en su sitio oficial una gira por Reino Unido para junio de 2023, motivo de celebración por sus 50 años de carrera. Camel ha sido citado como influencia por artistas y bandas como Opeth, Rick Astley, The Alan Parsons Project, Brian Eno, Steven Wilson, Dream Theater, Änglagård, etc. Pagina Oficial: https://www.camelproductions.com/Escucha este episodio completo y accede a todo el contenido exclusivo de Biblioteca Del Metal - (Recopilation).

Det här är berättelsen om den brittiska metalpionjären som kände sig tvungen att dölja sin sexualitet, samtidigt som han på scen tog läder och nitar till en helt ny nivå. Sommaren 1980. Texas. Dörren till toaletten på rastplatsen för lastbilar öppnas försiktigt. Rob drar nervöst handen genom sitt kortklippta blonda hår medan han försäkrar sig om att det stinkande rummet är tomt. Han andas ut och undersöker de olika toalettbåsen, innan han hittar det han söker.I väggen mellan två bås finns ett uppborrat hål, runt en decimeter brett. Rob går in och stänger dörren om sig. Låser. Fäller ner toalettlocket och sätter sig och väntar. Och väntar. Till slut hör han den gnisslande toadörren öppnas. Rob lyssnar noga. Mannen som kommer in sätter sig i båset bredvid. Sakta låter Rob sin fot glida längs med golvet, in under öppningen mellan båsen och han ser hur den okände mannen bakom den tunna väggen gör samma sak. Rob tar första steget. Lyfter sakta foten och knackar med den mot marken. Tre gånger. Mannen i båset bredvid gör samma sak. Och det är signalen Rob har väntat på, signalen som betyder att det nu är fritt fram. Utan att utbyta ett enda ord vet dom båda männen exakt vad som kommer att hända. Rob knäpper upp sina byxor och ställer sig vid hålet…När de är klara lämnar den okända mannen toaletten, medan Rob sitter kvar. Det är en oskriven regel för att se till att dom förblir anonyma för varandra. Rob tar ett djupt andetag och drar upp byxorna. Det är dags att åka tillbaka till efterfesten på lyxhotellet, där hans bandkollegor vid det här laget festar med champagne och groupies. Rob Halford möter sin egen blick i badrumsspegeln. Han är sångare i ett av världens största heavy metal-band. Och om nån skulle få reda på vad som precis har hänt är han övertygad om att det skulle vara slutet för både honom och Judas PriestP3 Musikdokumentär om Rob Halford handlar om att bryta ny mark både när det gäller musik och image - och att till slut våga visa världen vem man verkligen är.Dokumentären är gjord av Stefan Sundberg i mars 2023Producent Joanna KorbutiakExekutiv producent Lars TruedsonSlutmix Fredrik NilssonMedverkande: Sofia Bergström, Daniela Pilic och Susanne Ljung.Huvudsakliga källor som använts som underlag för dokumentären är Rob Halfords böcker Confess (2020) och Biblical (2022) samt K.K.

The voice behind The Old Grey Whistle Test and Radio 2's country music show, Bob Harris, tells us why Manchester United Football Club manager Sir Matt Busby is his Great Life. Bob and Matthew hear how Sir Matt led the club out of the ruins of World War Two, through the tragedy of the Munich Air Disaster and on to European glory in 1968. Joining them is genealogist, historian and lifelong Manchester United fan Dr Michala Hulme. And you'll also hear legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson reflect on his own relationship with Sir Matt Busby in a specially recorded interview. Produced by Caitlin Hobbs for BBC Audio, Bristol.

John Otway in conversation with David Eastaugh www.johnotway.com Otway was born in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire. Although his first single, "Gypsy"/"Misty Mountain" was released in 1972, Otway initially received some coverage on the back of punk rock and a performance on The Old Grey Whistle Test.[2] His sixth single, the half-spoken love song "Really Free" reached number 27 in the UK Singles Chart in 1977.[3] It would be his greatest success for some time. The song earned him a five-album deal with Polydor Records, who viewed him as a punk rather than merely an eccentric. His first album, recorded with Wild Willy Barrett, was produced by Pete Townshend but sold only fitfully

It was a real treat to have broadcasting legend 'Whispering' Bob Harris as our guest on this episode to talk everything from his love of all things Manchester United; the Old Grey Whistle Test; the truth about country music; hanging out with Led Zeppelin, Marc Bolan and President Jimmy Carter; fighting with the Sex Pistols; and much more besides!

Back in the 70s there was no other gang quite like the aptly named Sensational Alex Harvey Band (SAHB). With a unique combination of blurred music genres, eye-catching theatrics, and progressive rock rifts, SAHB bedazzled viewers of Top Of The Pops and The Old Grey Whistle Test alike. At Alex Harvey's side, for hits like The Faith Healer, Midnight Moses, and Delia guitarist Zal Cleminson menaced mockingly, portraying a half mime, half clown character that was more suitable for a  horror film than a musical performance. Zal recounts the rise and fall of SAHB, his struggles with Nazareth, being a session player with Elkie Brooks and Midge Ure, writing a novel, and exclusively shares a track from his forthcoming album with Orphans of The Ash. The tracks featured are: The Faith Healer and The Dolphins (SAHB), Heart's Grown Cold (Nazareth) and The Last Train Home (Orphans of The Ash), which are available in stores and digitally on all the main streaming/download outlets.

Drag Time with Heklina is back! Our very special guest is an author, journalist, model, cultural curator, and glam icon Angie Bowie! We ask her about her legendary work as an image maker, including 7 years of training in couture, followed by the fashioning of David Bowie with designer Freddie Burretti. She tells us about making the deals and getting the means to build the team to make the shows look the way they wanted them to look in those early days, including David Bowie's transformation from folk strummer to glam superstar. We wanted to know about her 1982 appearance on The Old Grey Whistle Test, with Mick Karn from the English new wave band Japan and she tells us everything! Nerd Alert! Marc had to know all about Angie's interest in Marvel and DC comics, including her role in visioning Wonder Woman (as we know her). It turns out to be one of those fascinating show-business gotcha stories. She and Stan Lee were both ahead of their time. We get to find out what they might have done together if only they had access to the technology of computers at the time…but you really have to hear her tell it. You can also check out all of her books on her website www.AngieBowie.net, which is a great place to pick up a gift for that special someone such as an autographed copy Backstage Passes, Lipstick Legends, POP.SEX and more! Listen in to this episode where we learn all about “bad hype”, Magic Fingers, and “getting to the nook!” with Angie Bowie!

A true classic album for our 3rd LP deep dive - do we think that Blondie's most revered record stands the test of time? We talk about the history of the iconic band, how they came together, and what were the ingredients that made this, their 3rd LP, so special. All six members of the band - Debbie Harry, Chris Stein, Clem Burke, Jimmy Destri, Nigel Harrison and Frank Infante - had songwriting credits on the record, and so we look at their contributions on the twelve tracks, along with the three covers included on the album. It was a surprise to discover that one of these songs was actually not a Blondie original, and so we created a top 10 list of cover songs you probably didn't know were cover songs. Let us know if you have any suggestions to add that should have made our list! The instantly recognisable album cover is discussed including why the band were not happy with it even though it has been lauded ever since. There have been numerous reenactments of the sleeve artwork, inclduing a Britpop frontman looking very fetching as Debbie Harry - find out who it is! We also look at where the album title, Parallel Lines, came from and highlight a wonderful documentary and a brilliant live performance on The Old Grey Whistle Test from New Years Eve 1979 in Glasgow - what a way to usher in the new decade! Links below. Finally 1978 gets our full attention. As well as reviewing what was competing with Blondie in the album and singles charts from September 1978, we discover what was dominating the movie charts. Maybe you too believed a man could fly!

Journalist Richard Williams joins us to talk Dylan and to surf “the waves of his career”, from Freewheelin' (“one revelation after another”) to Murder Most Foul (“I was astonished by it. The level of detail. It's like a John Coltrane quartet.”). Richard reminds us of “one of the great things I learned from Dylan: if you don't understand something, that doesn't invalidate it”.Our discussion includes generally unloved albums like Knocked Out Loaded (“Brownsville Girl contains the best single line of phrasing in Dylan's entire canon”) and Down In The Groove (“we all lose our way a bit but the last three tracks are really very good”). Since writing his 1991 Bob Dylan book, A Man Called Alias, Richard has remained a true believer. “His phrasing has always been astonishing. Like that list of flowers he recites on Theme Time Radio Hour. He reads a seed catalogue and makes it sound like Visions of Johanna”.

June Millington, director Bobbi Jo Hart and Face2Face host David Peck talk about their fun, engaging, long overdue new film Fanny: The Right to Rock. They touch on sexism in the industry, liberation, your inner compass, poetry, safe spaces and role models, racism and why it’s so important to play it forward.“Revivify Fanny. And my work will be done.” David BowieTrailerTo learn more about the band and their work head here.For more information about IMA go to www.ima.orgSynopsis:Fanny: The Right to Rock opens with the words of David Bowie, bemoaning the band’s fate: “One of the most important bands in American rock has been buried without a trace.” The film then takes us deep into the woods of Goshen, Massachusetts, where we discover the Institute for the Musical Arts. It’s an underground music camp and recording studio for girls and women only, where Fanny lead guitarist June Millington, 69, has been teaching young girls to rock out long before rock camps became “a thing.”There, she and fellow Filipina-American bandmates, including her bass-playing sister Jean and drummer Brie Darling, celebrate their 50-year reunion with a new rock record deal -- cheekily titled Fanny Walked the Earth. If the stars align, it’s a chance to right the wrongs of music history.Fanny: The Right to Rock juxtaposes an intimate, cinema verité journey of Fanny’s uphill battle to complete and release their new album, with the fascinating herstory of the band’s improbable journey during their 70s heyday. Their controversial, self-penned lyrics dared embrace the newfound freedom of birth control as well as the trauma of the Vietnam War.Discovered early on by the secretary of legendary producer Richard Perry and signed as teenagers to the epic Warner/Reprise label,Fanny honed their signature sound in edgy L.A. clubs like The Troubadour. Fanny Hill, hosted regular jam sessions with visitors/crashers including Joe Cocker, Little Feat, and Bob Dylan’s The Band. There, serious rock & roll comingled with sex, drugs and skinny dipping.Fanny toured extensively across North America and Europe with major groups including Slade, Chicago and Ike & Tina Turner. They toured while writing, recording and releasing a new album every year from 1970 -75. They performed live and gave interviews on major network TV shows with Dick Cavett, Sonny & Cher, Helen Reddy and The Tonight Show, as well as the famed BBC show “The Old Grey Whistle Test”.The movie includes testimonials from Kate Pierson of the B-52s, Bonnie Raitt, Cherie Currie of The Runaways, Kathy Valentine of the Go-Gos, and Bowie bassist Gail Ann Dorsey.

With a career that has spanned 25 years, Hart has filmed in countries as diverse as Pakistan, Russia, Guatemala, Australia, Scotland and Zimbabwe — with subjects ranging from women’s professional soccer and tennis to classical music, comedy, dance and manic depression. Her documentary films have the most common thread of revealing untold stories of marginalized girls and women, weaving universal threads of dreams, family, love, loss, happiness, sadness, success, failure and determination. Her intimate, cinema verité style results in thought-provoking films that ultimately celebrate our shared humanity.Her most recent feature documentary I Am Not A Rock Star premiered at dozens of worldwide film festivals and was broadcast on networks in many countries, including BBCFour, SVT Sweden, ABC Australia, Documentary Channel. Music in the film included Jack Johnson & Patrick Watson. This film won many festival awards as well. Hart’s previous award-winning films include SHE GOT GAME: Behind-the-Scenes of the Women's Tennis Tour (LIFE Network, Starz), which had exclusive access during over a year on tour. Hart is currently starting the festival tour for her exclusive theatrical documentary celebrating Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo (Documentary Channel, ARTV).June Millington “one of the hottest female guitarists in the industry” wrote, Guitar Player Magazine has been making music since she was a child playing ukulele in her native Philippines. Having moved from Manila to California in the early sixties, she and her sister bassist Jean turned in their folk guitars for electric and formed a succession of all-girl bands. By ‘69 they were in Hollywood with their band Fanny, which was one of the first all-women’s rock band to be signed to a major label (Reprise). Through five successful albums and extensive touring of Europe and North America, Fanny served notice that women could do more than simply sing, they could write and play passionate rock ‘n roll. As David Bowie said of the group in an interview with Rolling Stone (RS January 2000): “They were extraordinary: They wrote everything...they are as important as anyone else who’s ever been, ever....”Fanny played with major artists like Chicago, BB King, Dr John, the Kinks, the Staples Singers, Ike and Tina Turner, & Chuck Berry - and recorded an album at Apple Studios with Geoff Emerick, the Beatles engineer. June left the band in 1973 and continued to record and perform with her sister and on a number of solo albums. She played in the genre of women’s music for many years, and produced records by artists Cris Williamson, Holly Near, Mary Watkins, Melanie DeMore, and Bitch and Animal, among others. She is the co-founder and Artistic Director of the non-profit Institute for the Musical Arts [IMA], an internationally known teaching, performing and recording facility supporting women and girls in music and music-related business. Founded by June, along with partner Ann Hackler, activist/writer Angela Davis, and engineer/producer Roma Baran, IMA expanded into a 25- acre campus in Goshen, MA which runs five residential summer programs for girls and young women from 9-24 and hosts shows and workshops with established artists the rest of the year.Millington has received numerous awards for her achievements including the Audio Engineering Society’s Lifetime Achievement award, the Bay Area Career Women’s LAVA award for being a “leg- end of women’s music,” the Outmusic Heritage Award and in 2007 she, along with the other members of FANNY, received the Rockrgrl Women of Valor Award at Berklee College of Music. In 2013 she received New England Public Radio’s (NEPR) Arts and Humanities Outstanding Individual of the Year Award, the Veteran Feminists of America Award and, along with her partner Ann Hackler the Outstanding Activist Award from the Living Kindness Foundation. In 2015 she was given an award for her contributions by the National Women’s Music Festival.June released her autobiography Land of a Thousand Bridges: Island Girl in a Rock ‘n Roll World in June of 2015 and has received a great deal of press, including articles in MS Magazine, Pitchfork and Newsweek as well as on NPR. Millington continues to perform, write and record and teaches at IMA as well as colleges and universities around North America.Image Copyright and Credit: Adobe Productions International and Bobbi Jo Hart.F2F Music and Image Copyright: David Peck and Face2Face.

It's March of 1975 and a flurry of activity is once again stirring in the world of John Lennon. Newly reunited with wife Yoko Ono and flying high off the heels of his successful Walls & Bridges and Rock And Roll LPs, the reinvigorated ex-Beatle was making preparations to enter the studio to record his next album of original material - tentatively titled Sally & Billy. The prolific John had a lot to be excited about, with new songs of his debuting that month on both David Bowie and Keith Moon's respective new LPs, as well as an extensive interview and live performance session on music haven The Old Grey Whistle Test. Absent from all of this was Paul McCartney, whose hopes for a reunion with Lennon during the New Orleans Wings recording sessions were dashed the month prior. While that meeting was not to meant be, relations remained warm between the Lennons and McCartneys - hope was indeed kept alive for a future collaboration between the two former partners. The Wings Venus & Mars sessions had since relocated to Malibu CA, where Paul and Linda again ran afoul of the law on a Marijuana possession charge when a routine traffic stop yielded a massive bag of weed found on Linda McCartney's person. While this latest altercation with the law resulted in a another slap on the wrist for the famous couple, Marijuana conviction complications would continue to complicate Wings' plans in the months to come. Meanwhile, George Harrison and his Dark Horse label pushed forward with a new single from Splinter, and Ringo Starr brought his new hit single The No No Song to NBC's Hoyt-Axton Boogie Woogie Gospel Rock and Roll Show. Over five years since the Beatles' split, John, Paul George and Ringo were all in the process of making 1975 their most prolific year yet...

Annie Nightingale was BBC Radio 1’s first female presenter and is its longest-serving DJ, celebrating her 50th anniversary at the station this year. Born and brought up in south west London, she fell in love with the romance and mystery of radio through her father’s meticulous tuning of their home set to broadcasts from exotic places like Prague and Hilversum. On leaving school at 17, she spent a year on a journalism course in central London. After relocating to Brighton, she worked her way up through local newspapers to the national press and magazines and eventually, by the mid-1960s, to TV. She interviewed the Beatles as a young journalist, and gave early support to artists including David Bowie, Ian Dury, Eminem and Primal Scream. In 1970, she was the first woman DJ to join Radio 1 with a Sunday evening show. From 1978 to 1982, Annie was the sole female presenter on the BBC TV music show The Old Grey Whistle Test, the only woman to have held the job. Her excitement for new music and musical genres from acid house to grime, hasn’t wavered. She currently hosts a weekly Radio 1 show called Annie Nightingale Presents… (on air on Wednesdays between 1 and 3 am) and has received countless awards from Caner of the Year to Commander of the Order of the British Empire, which she received this year for services to radio. Annie has a son and a daughter from her first marriage. She is twice divorced and lives in London.

Fanny special with in conversation with David Eastaugh. Fanny was an American rock band, active in the early 1970s. They were one of the first all-female rock groups to achieve critical and commercial success, including two Billboard Hot 100 top 40 singles. The group was founded by guitarist June Millington and her sister, bassist Jean, (who had been playing music together since they moved from the Philippines to California in the early 1960s). After playing through several variations of the band, they attracted the interest of producer Richard Perry who signed them to Reprise Records in 1969 as Fanny. The band recorded four albums together before June Millington quit the group, leading to the original line-up splitting. Following a final album, Fanny disbanded in 1975. The Millington sisters have continued to play music together since the split, and with a former drummer, Brie Howard Darling, formed the spin-off group Fanny Walked the Earth in 2018. The group has continued to attract critical acclaim for rejecting typical girl group styles and expectations of women in the rock industry generally, and emphasizing their musical skills. Later groups, such as The Bangles and The Runaways, cited Fanny as a key influence. Sisters June and Jean Millington moved with their family from the Philippines to Sacramento, California, in 1961. They began to play music together on ukuleles as they found it helped them gain friends. In high school they formed an all-female band called the Svelts with June on guitar, Jean on bass, Addie Lee on guitar, and Brie Brandt on drums. Brandt left to get married and was later replaced by Alice de Buhr. When the Svelts disbanded, de Buhr and Lee formed another all-female group called Wild Honey. The Millington sisters later joined this band, which played Motown covers and eventually moved to Los Angeles. Frustrated by a lack of success or respect in the male-dominated rock scene, Wild Honey decided to disband after one final open-mic appearance at the Troubadour Club in Los Angeles in 1969. They were spotted at this gig by the secretary of producer Richard Perry, who had been searching for an all-female rock band to mentor. Perry convinced Warner Bros. Records to sign the band, still known as Wild Honey, to Reprise Records. The group won the contract without the label hearing them play, on the grounds of being a novelty act, despite their genuine musical talent. Prior to recording their first album, the band recruited keyboardist Nickey Barclay. The band was then renamed Fanny, not with a sexual connotation but to denote a female spirit. The initial lineup consisted of June Millington on guitar, Jean Millington on bass, de Buhr on drums, Barclay on keyboards, and Brandt on lead vocals and percussion. Perry dismissed Brandt because he wanted the group to be a self-contained four piece band like The Beatles. The Millingtons and Barclay all assumed lead vocal duties on alternating songs, while de Buhr sang lead occasionally on later albums. Perry produced the band's first three albums, beginning with Fanny in 1970. Because of the connection to Perry and Reprise Records, Barclay was invited to tour with Joe Cocker as a backing singer, and consequently appeared on the album Mad Dogs and Englishmen. The group's cover of Cream's "Badge" from the first album had significant radio airplay. The follow-up album, Charity Ball was released the following year, and its title track reached #40 on the Billboard Hot 100. The members of Fanny also worked as session musicians, and played on Barbra Streisand's 1971 album Barbra Joan Streisand, after Streisand had wanted to record with a small band. The group continued to pick up well-known fans; David Bowie sent the group a letter admiring their work and invited the band to a post-show party where he showed them mime techniques. With young engineer Leslie Ann Jones as their road manager and live sound mixer, Fanny toured worldwide, opening for Slade, Jethro Tull and Humble Pie, gaining widespread popularity in the United Kingdom. A 1971 article in Sounds remarked that the group "seems that they are the support group to everyone these days". The group made several live television appearances during tours, including The Sonny and Cher Show, American Bandstand, The Old Grey Whistle Test and Beat-Club. The group's third album, Fanny Hill (1972) featured the Beatles' engineer Geoff Emerick in addition to Perry's production. It included a cover of "Hey Bulldog" and Marvin Gaye's "Ain't That Peculiar". The latter featured regular Rolling Stones saxophonist Bobby Keys, and was released as a single, reaching #85 on the Billboard Hot 100.[16][17] Fellow Stones sideman Jim Price also played brass on the album.Rolling Stone wrote a rave review of the album, praising the group's musical skills and particularly June Millington's ability to play both lead and rhythm guitar. Their fourth album, Mother's Pride (1973), was produced by Todd Rundgren. By the time Mother's Pride was released, June Millington was feeling constrained by the group format. The record label wanted her to wear certain designer clothes and adopt a hard rock image, which she resisted. She decided to quit the group, later saying "I needed to figure out who I was" and regularly clashed with Barclay, who had a different personality to her. June moved to Woodstock to study Buddhism, but insisted the group continue without her. de Buhr also left the band, with Brandt returning on drums. Patti Quatro (sister of Suzi Quatro) replaced June on guitar. This lineup signed with Casablanca Records and released the final Fanny album, Rock and Roll Survivors, in 1974. The first single, "I've Had It" reached #79 on the Billboard Hot 100. Brandt left the band shortly after the album's completion when she married composer James Newton Howard, and was briefly replaced by Cam Davis. Barclay quit the group at the end of 1974, thinking it was not working without June Millington. The second single, "Butter Boy" was written by Jean Millington about Bowie, and became their biggest hit, reaching #29 on the Billboard Hot 100 in April 1975. By the time that was released, the group had split.

This is the story of the man who grew up simply wanting to be on the radio and emerged as one of the most musically influential and respected presenters in UK radio. In this hour of ‘Radio Moments Conversations’, Bob Harris tells of his time as an unlikely police cadet before his ambition to work in radio took him – alone – to London. He shares how he befriended John Peel and became his fill-in, and then moved to a more permanent BBC Radio 1 programme - and fronting the Old Grey Whistle Test.  As his first spell of Radio 1 ended, spells at Radio Luxembourg, Radio 210, BBC Radio Oxford and BFBS followed, before the death of his idol Roger Scott created an opportunity back at Radio 1 – some 16 years after his earlier departure. As Radio 1 implemented its famous ‘90s ‘rejuvenation’, Bob was moved on again – and he tells here of the meeting where the deed was done   - before he turned up on GLR in a programme which he was to regard as one of his favourites. Noticed by Radio 2, Bob returned to the BBC where has remained since, hosting a range of programmes including his renowned Country Show. Speaking as he relished his return on-air after his illness, this is the Bob Harris story - in his own words.

The Screaming Blue Messiahs special with Kenny Harris in conversation  The Screaming Blue Messiahs were a rock band, formed in 1983 in London by guitarist and singer Bill Carter, bass player and backing singer Chris Thompson and drummer Kenny Harris. The group emerged in the wake of the pub rock and punk scenes that had been very predominant on the UK capital's live music circuit during the late '70s/ early '80s. The band, a classic power trio, was active between 1983 and 1990 and released three major label LPs. They toured extensively throughout Europe, North America and Australasia, garnering wide critical acclaim for their aggressive blend of rhythm and blues, punk and rockabilly.   Before founding the Screaming Blue Messiahs, its three members had played together as The Small Brothers. Thompson and Carter had been part of the Captain Beefheart-influenced band Motor Boys Motor; together with Tony Moon on vocals, they recorded several tracks under that name on 24 August 1981 for John Peel's show on BBC Radio 1 and released a self-titled album. Initially, after Harris joined Carter and Thompson, the band briefly continued to perform under the name 'Motor Boys Motor'. According to Carter, the final name was chosen upon the suggestion of Ace/Big Beat's Ted Caroll, who was concerned that the band's initial proposal of 'The Blues Messiahs' sounded too pub rock. Carter employed a rhythmic, blues-influenced, feedback-laden guitar style, using mainly Fender Telecaster guitars together with two combo amps: a Mesa Boogie and an HH outfitted with Gauss speakers. For his occasional forays into slide, he favoured 'the mike stand, or whatever is handy',[4] and that he only used open tunings 'when the strings go open by accident'. Featuring a sound described as "rockabilly from hell" and a strong passion for Americana, cars, guns, aeroplanes and broadcast evangelism, the group released the mini-album Good and Gone on Big Beat Records. Its six songs, which had been selected from eleven songs recorded in spring 1984 with producer Vic Maile during a session at Elephant Studios in Wapping, London, included a version of Hank Williams' "You're Gonna Change". Upon its release, the EP entered the top twenty in the UK independent record chart, where it remained for six months. The Screaming Blue Messiahs played their first official gig at 'Downstairs at the Clarendon', Hammersmith, London on 11 June 1984. On 24 July 1984, they performed the songs "Good And Gone", "Someone To Talk To", "Tracking The Dog" and "Let's Go Down to the Woods And Pray" during their first recorded session for the John Peel show on BBC Radio 1. Broadcast on 2 August, the session proved so popular that it resulted in two BBC releases, one a 4-track 12" and a later inclusion of 'Good And Gone' on an album sampler of Peel Sessions. In December of the same year, The Screaming Blue Messiahs appeared on The Old Grey Whistle Test on the BBC, playing two live songs: "Let's Go Down to the Woods And Pray" and "Good And Gone", and then undertook a short tour of the Netherlands.

Welcome to the best undiscovered music podcast available! Thanks for listening with us to Loudon Wainwright III. Loudon has had such a prolific output of acerbic, funny, heart-wrenching and cleverly written songs that choosing just 3 tracks of his was a difficult choice. Because of this, we would urge you to investigate his catalogue yourselves to find your favourites. You can visit his official website here. Track Listing 2 Song Set (feat.

Loudon Wainwright III is hugely well known and a man of prolific output. Because of this, as a young lad every time I watched the Old Grey Whistle Test he seemed to be on it! He's produced dozens of albums and has been in the news for more than just his music. Loudon has produced 3 offspring that have gone on to be well known musicians in their own rights. However, with younger listeners he will be less well known and may come as something of a revelation to them. As a result of this, we hope you agree that he is outside of modern and commercial music enough to classed as the "best undiscovered music". Mr. Wainwright has proved to be far and away the most candid diarist among the singer-songwriters who...brought confessional poetry into popular song.... Mr. Wainwright wrings more human truth out of his contradiction than any other songwriter of his generation – New York Times, Stephen Holden More of the best undiscovered music Often regarded as one of the most influential bands of the '90s, Stereolab gave us a mellotron masterclass in this episode. They formed in London in 1990 and classed themselves as an English/French avant-pop band. Often incorporating a motorik beat they heavily relied on vintage keyboard instruments such as the mellotron. Because of this, Stereolab after had a strong Germanic sound to their music. Playing live on stage, however, the band were more guitar-driven. Stereolab found success in the underground music scene and proved influential, for instance, they sparked a renewed interest in vintage analogue instruments. In 2009 Stereolab announced they were to be on indefinite hiatus. However, they are due to reunite for a live performance later this year. doryfour [CC BY-SA 2.0 , via Wikimedia Commons Listen now!

Alice Stuart (born 1942 in Chelan, Washington, United States) is an American blues and folk singer-songwriter and guitarist. She toured the UK with Van Morrison and throughout the United States with Mississippi John Hurt. Her singing, songwriting, and guitar playing secured her invitations to tour nationally and internationally with Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Doc Watson, Jerry Ricks, Phil Ochs, and Joan Baez, in addition to television appearances on The Dick Cavett Show and the Old Grey Whistle Test. In addition, Stuart's songs have been recorded by Kate Wolf, Irma Thomas, and Jackie DeShannon.

The Major Scale gives a wink and a nod to Tom Scott and some of his early work. Before Scott was topping the charts with music for Tom Cat, L.A. Express with Joni Mitchell, along with scoring for film and TV- Starsky And Hutch, Let's Do It Again, and Family Ties, he was a teenage prodigy who was signed to Impulse Records – the home of his hero John Coltrane among other legends. Although these first albums weren't as popular as his later releases, over the past couple of decades they've become fertile ground for sampling - Massive Attack, Pete Rock and CL Smooth, Hieroglyphics and countless others have rearranged his work to great heights. We talk with the man himself about this phenomenon – easily one of our most entertaining conversations yet!

ABOUT THE MAJOR SCALE: Your attention please to a new program that celebrates and takes a fresh and bold look at the great American art form- JAZZ!!! The Major Scale is the title, the motto and the mission are, Jazz- past, present, future, and everything in between. A lot of focus will be on new and fresh sounds, deep cuts, closer looks at underrated artists, taking a different look at some of the titans of the genre, and getting the two cents worth from a number of surprise guests and sources. The Major Scale can boast amongst it's guests- legends like Herbie Hancock, Tom Scott, and Ahmad Jamal. The up and coming and the underrated-Kamasi Washington, Mia Doi Todd, Michael Blake. Fresh perspectives and commentary from the likes of Rock legend Al Kooper, who weighed in on the gospel. From The New Yorker, Amanda Petrusich expounds on her article about the movement to rename the Williamsburg Bridge in honor of Sonny Rollins. We explore the Soul-Jazz experiments of the Rascals.

Plus Thundercat, Henry Mancini, Ghostface Killah, Jaimie Branch, Nels Cline, Badbadnotgood, Cecil Taylor, and more get pick up on the Major Scale radar.

This next episode of our canter through Bowie’s life sees our glamorous subject reclaim his title as a risk taker and - quite literally -an outsider artist with his 1995 dark masterpiece ‘Outside’. Funnily enough - Marc saw one of the 1995 tour dates ‘outside’... in an arena in the USA...as you will find out if you download and listen to this latest missive from the North of England. Also under the microscope is the scene of one of Bowie’s most infamous (and hilarious) on stage routines… and The Old Grey Whistle Test is revisited too. All courtesy of Rob Hughes and Marc Riley (Research, Delivery + Bumbling,) Howard Nock (Master Editor) and Jason Read (Visualisation). Please feel free to leave a review too. Thanks all!

November 2017: It’s exactly 40 years since John Otway’s now legendary appearance on The Old Grey Whistle Test with Wild Willy Barrett with gymnastic antics to ‘Really Free’. It was this performance that shot John to fame but despite a financial backing of £2m, in today’s figures, from Polydor Records it was a further 25 years before he enjoyed his second UK Chart hit, ‘Bunsen Burner’. Undeterred, John is now celebrating his 65th birthday with the recent release of a brand new album, ‘Montseratt’, and is already making plans for his 70th! #JohnOtway #punk #interview

Kirsty Young's castaway this week is the broadcaster, Bob Harris. Known affectionately as Whispering Bob, he's rarely been off our air waves in the past 44 years. His big break came standing in for John Peel and he was so good that not long after he was given his own show on Radio 1. Throughout the seventies he also hosted the true music-fans' must see show, The Old Grey Whistle Test. His beard and tank top were almost as legendary as some of the guests - The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and John Lennon were among the line up. However with the arrival of punk things got personal. The closest his family ever got to showbiz was when his dad, a policeman, clambered on stage to arrest the singer PJ Proby when his trousers split. Young Bob did follow his dad into the force but music and above all else radio were his obsession. Much like his recording heroes, his own life has something of the rock n' roll vibe - three wives, eight children, a spell of bankruptcy and coping with prostate cancer. Yet through it all his skill, knowledge and love of broadcasting has always endured. He says, "I'm a music anorak, a fan who got lucky ... from the moment I bought my first record aged 11, I couldn't wait to share music with others." Producer: Cathy Drysdale.

In Part 2 of this special edition of Retrosonic Podcast we are very pleased to welcome back Harley Feinstein, the original drummer with Sparks. Harley appeared on the band's first two Bearsville Records albums "Halfnelson/Sparks" and "A Woofer In Tweeter's Clothing", and their very first visit to the UK back in the early Seventies. In the previous Episode Harley told us about how he first met Ron and Russell Mael and joined the band. Now in Part 2, Harley talks about the band's first experiences in a studio with Todd Rundgren and James Lowe of The Electric Prunes and how a notorious bunch of Groupies contributed to them getting signed to Bob Dylan's manager's record label. This introduces the band to the nefarious world of the music business with it's aggressive managers and pressure to "make it". There's the enforced name change from Halfnelson to Sparks and we discover some of the hilarious, and slightly worrying, alternate names that the band might have been lumbered with. We follow the band to England and their first TV appearance on Old Grey Whistle Test and sold-out gig at the Marquee and residency at The Pheasantry and the taste of what can be achieved on record company expenses. We then find out how an ill-fated trip to Zermatt in Switzerland became the final nail in the coffin for the band at that time. Soundtracked by early Sparks songs including material from their original demo album, this is a fascinating tale of Sparks' formative years. For more information on Harley's new project Crash 74 and their gig in London, including exclusive Paul Slattery photographs, please visit www.retromanblog.com
