We interview Rick McMurray, drummer of Northern Irish rock band Ash about their stunning album 1977. It was released on 6 May 1996 by Infectious Records, with whom the band had signed following the release of several demo tapes. Ash released the mini-album Trailer in 1994, and followed it with three singles "Kung Fu", "Girl from Mars", and "Angel Interceptor", all of which would reappear on 1977. 1977 drew comparisons to the Buzzcocks, Dinosaur Jr., and Sonic Youth.

A Classic Brit-Pop album that wasn't REALLY a Brit Pop album is under the microscope on this episode of the XS Long Player as Jim chats to Rick McMurray about Ash's 1996 album 1977!Rick talks about the album's influences, playing those songs live 25 years on from its release and that classic Tie Fighter intro (that George Lucas MAY still not know about). He also discusses the origins of that infamous hidden track "Sick Party" at the end of the album.1977 was released on Infectious records and contains classic tunes such as "Goldfinger", "Girl from Mars" and "Kung Fu"... its a certified banger!Listen to the album: https://open.spotify.com/album/6WPJ2wQLi4SskpTkmofkr9?si=hsisTf3FReusJ2iIoWHaKw&dl_branch=1The XS Long player Podcast is taken from the XS Long player radio show on XS Manchester: A classic album played in full every Thursday night at 8pm (GMT) listen live via www.xsmanchester.co.uk Learn more about your ad choices.

There have been some really wonderful bits of feedback from the interview episodes with Louise Aubrie and Rick McMurray with people checking out Louise's music which I'm really happy about. The second single off Louise's album 'Antonio' is out on Wednesday 23rd June (two days from this episode going live). Called 'Ours', it's a slightly darker song in tone from 'Last', but is another masterfully arranged song with killer vocal hooks. Make sure you go and give it a listen and let Louise know what you think of it. The Ash livestream was really good fun, there were a lot of the fans tweeting along with the action, but I still have an issue with livestream gigs. There's just not the atmosphere in your living room that there is at a live gig in a room full of people. I've appeared on the first of a planned four-part podcast from the Permanent Record Podcast, hosted by Brian and Sarah. Usually they look at albums by synth-based bands, but because I deal with predominantly guitar-based punk, new wave and post punk bands (for the time being at least) we decided we should look at one of the most iconic albums by an iconic rock band that none of us have any deep knowledge of; The Joshua Tree by U2.

While you're waiting for the next episode to drop on Friday 25th June 2021, why not go and leave a rating and review on iTunes, they really do help and you'll get a special shout out on these review episodes.  I hope you enjoy the next episode and that you're taking good care of yourself and others as well as staying safe.

On this extra-special episode of Banned Biographies I was very lucky to chat over Zoom with Rick McMurray, the drummer from Ash. Ash's first full-length album, 1977, was release 25 years ago and went straight to number one on the UK album chart. To commemorate that, Ash is playing the album in its entirety on the 5th June 2021 which you can sign up to watch through the band's website https://ash-official.com/. There are various bundles available, from the concert only right up to getting unlimited 30-day access to the show, a behind the scenes documentary, a bonus performance, a limited 1977 frisbee and a limited edition 1977 t-shirt. All tiers are well worth the money. During our chat, Rick was candid about the highs and lows of Ash's career as well as talking about the band's unfinished indie horror film, Slashed, having a meal with Joe Strummer and why they didn't join him on stage to play I Fought The Law, getting Mickey Bradley and Damien O'Neil from The Undertones on the last Ash album and so much more. I'm so honoured and thankful to Rick for giving up part of his morning to talk to me and I hope you get some great insights into the man himself, the life of a professional musician and how that job has changed over the last three decades. He's a totally down to earth guy and I really hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did talking to him.

The much-loved story of the Chinese warrior Mulan is the latest Disney animation to get a live-action remake. Its less a direct remake of the 1998 original and more a retelling of the Chinese folk legend of Hua Mulan with an all-Asian cast. There have been changes - no cute animated dragon or songs - are we going to love it as much? Find out with critic Gavia Baker Whitelaw. Lorna Sage was a much admired literary critic but it was her memoir Bad Blood that made her a household name. Bad Blood examines Lorna’s childhood and adolescence in a small Welsh border town and is an exploration of thwarted desires, marital disappointment and the search for freedom from the limits and smallness of family life. The critic Frances Wilson has written an introduction to the twentieth anniversary edition and discusses the legacy of what is one of the most critically acclaimed memoirs ever written - vividly bringing to life Lorna’s dissolute but charismatic vicar grandfather, her embittered grandmother and her domestically inept mother. Hull’s annual Freedom Festival begins this weekend. Its an event rooted in the legacy of the Hull-born anti-slavery activist William Wilberforce and usually brings thousands onto the streets to celebrate. This year due to Covid 19, its moving online, but its keeping its strong commitment to “art that helps build a stronger and fairer society”, fuelled by current affairs from Black Lives Matter to the virus itself. But if artists have a political aim, does that affect the quality of the art? Should Art be valued for its political engagement even if we don’t rate the artwork itself? We'll be debating these questions with the director of the Design Museum Tim Marlow, Jazz saxophonist Soweto Kinch and artist Davina Drummond, part of the duo Yara and Davina. Across the country independent music venues are in serious crisis. They’re having to keep their doors closed - in spite of a cash injection of £3.36m from the government’s Cultural Recovery Fund - because they simply don’t have the room to operate within social distancing guidelines. Passport: Back to Our Roots is a campaign that aims to raise money for these stricken venues by asking some of the UK’s biggest bands to commit to playing small local gigs. All fans have to do is make a minimum £5 donation to be entered into a prize draw to see these artists, should the gigs go ahead. We find out more from Ash drummer Rick McMurray and campaign co-founder Sally Cook. Presenter Katie Popperwell Producer Olive Clancy

Along the way there's also chat about touring Japan, living in separate continents, the time they accidentally headlined Glastonbury as 19-year-olds, Star Wars and 'the girth of your cup'... yep, really. 'Islands' is out now via Infectious Music, get it on CD, digital download cassette or black / limited metallic silver vinyl: ash.lnk.to/IslandsFA ALSO: The exclusive premiere of Belfast pop-punk/emo upstarts American Guinea Pig's new track 'Pink Lady'.
