He was in the Kilburns with Ian Dury.
If he stuck wi' Ian he would have got some cred.mooncat wrote:Aye.

Funny how Dury was accepted even though he changed to a slick band like the Blockheads from the fuckin' ramshackle Kilburns....they had a midget and a crippled guy...ha ha...we loved 'em. Haha I think the spitting and bottles were just a thing in 77, my first gig was the Buzzcocks in Pompey 78, opened with the first track off lovebites to an absolute shower of gob resulting in them stopping after 2 mins and Shelley uttering in his very camp Manc accent "if you don't stop spitting we're goin ome"Boozios wrote:If he stuck wi' Ian he would have got some cred.mooncat wrote:Aye.

This is weedy on record but it was killer live wi' the Kilburns - it was 'our tune'
'An annaver fing...Rough Kids..'
I remember Weller and the Jam getting fearsome clog in Manchester 77 ish...they didn't wanna know about no 'revivalist' band in cheap suits and crap shoes...Cue..bottles, snot and spit.
Oh yeah - they were great ...but musos...I think it was Ian's persona and parst got 'em excepted by the punk mob....I saw 'em at the Empire on the Stiffs tour...fantastic...buhhrt...Costello was playing at home and he wasn't about to be blown out by Ian's shtick...he came out blazing that night and wiped the deck (no pun intended) wi' the Block'eads.mooncat wrote:Dunno Booze-O.. The Blockheads were a fine band back in the day... Norman Watt Roy is a fucking ace bassist.
Go on Wilko - you're giving the Booz inspiration, sonmark@liverpool wrote:
While we are of a certain vintage good to see a pic of Wilko up and about after his surgery a few months back. Think he needs to teach his doc how to treat a guitar.

I saw Dr Feelgood and Roogalator at the Stadium in 75 ...well, the crowd weren't havin' Roogalator (who were a fine band, I was really looking forward to seeing them) ...Nope...bottles and cans-a-plenty.
Graham Parker and the Rumour - a stupendous live act in '75/76...reluctantly accepted
It was curious how some musos were accepted and some...BOSH!...career in shitter.
Yeah, this gig was totally like that, wired from the offnotin kwestion wrote:Boozios wrote:Oh yeah - they were great ...but musos...I think it was Ian's persona and parst got 'em excepted by the punk mob....I saw 'em at the Empire on the Stiffs tour...fantastic...buhhrt...Costello was playing at home and he wasn't about to be blown out by Ian's shtick...he came out blazing that night and wiped the deck (no pun intended) wi' the Block'eads.mooncat wrote:Dunno Booze-O..

Sounds like a great gig boozios. Got the live stiffs lp. Early Costello live was some angry amphetamine driven stuff.
Got the live at el mocambo bootleg.
Wish I was old enough to see him at the time.
He was tremendous with much more energy than on the first album plus it was supposed to be either him or The Blockheads who closed each night and I think, from what I've read, they got a little competitive too. I like that El Mocambo record too..in spite of that bellowing Canuck yokel 
You lovely funster, Laa.
