Jools Holland Tonight - Guitarists treat

I know there are a few guitar players that lurk around these parts,
Cane, Champ, Pete Fisher etc so I thought they may be interested....

According to the pre show publicity Dave Edmunds will be on The
Hooternany tonight.Rumour has it he will be playing Sabre Dance live
in front of the auduence, yes I know the show was taped on Tuesday
night.

Having seen the rather dodgy footage from the Seville guitar festival
in the 80's on Youtube I an looking forward to seeing if the old guy
can still do it at the speed of yesteryear.

Wessie will probably be along in a minute to tell us he saw him play
it in his local pub a few weeks ago. I understand Mr E lives in close
proximity to Wessie Towers.

Heh. Not seen him for years. He used to do an annual fund raiser for some
local kids charity but I can't recall seeing him out drinking. He lived
very quietly in a town centre house for years. The village pub near where
he lives now closed down. 20 years ago it was very popular with the
Rockfield crowd as it was in a sleepy village off the beaten track. That
generation are either dead or too rickety to go out drinking much and the
modern bands rarely leave the studios.

guitar heroes on BBC4 now is rather pleasing

Jeff Beck being the outstanding performer so far

 

Alas, tonight we're watching "Most Shocking Fights and Wild Riots 3"

 

sounds ghastly

 

It was. Still, Jools is on now and V's sulking, so all's right with the
world. Apart from my state of complete sobriety, which is a novelty.

 

Never knew that Tom Jones was Morgan Freeman's twin brother ...

 

WTF?

Actually, I only had a few assorted bottles of cider[1] last night, so
wasn't cunted either.

[1] I am completely addicted to Aspall's "Perronelle's Blush" and to
Thatchers' Katy Rose

 

If you want crap try "Harold ad Kumar escape from Guantanamo Bay"; with
a title like that I thought it had to be bad, especially when it was sat
at the till of my local supermarket with a 3- price tag on it.

I wasn't disapppointed., however I did manage to stay awake although
that probably had more to do with watching it in my office rather than
sat on a comfortable sofa...

 

That was the first single I bought, in 1968.
I expect it's still at the back of a cupboard at my mum's house.

 

Bugger. iPlayer says UK only.

I've a feeling I've seen this before. I always find these types of
programs frustrating and annoying. I end up shouting at the TV "..but
he was shit! How can you have him and not...?!"

 

It's been on BBC2 and is often repeated on BBC3/4. It started well with the
Stones doing Brown Sugar, Bowie doing Starman and the Jeff Beck jazz fusion
thing. Got worse as they brought in some Celtic Rock band, Nazareth and AC
fucking DC.

 

I've been getting increasingly bad reflux, almost always in conjunction
with drinking. At Glastonbury last year I had heartburn pretty much the
whole way through which rather put a damper on my enthusiasm.

Yesterday I had a pint of lager with lunch and it left my chest burning
all afternoon. So I didn't bother getting ratarsed in the evening.

Is this what getting old feels like?

What is it with you and chick drinks?

I quite liked that. Better than Go to White Castle (aka Get the
Munchies) but nowhere near as good as Dude Where's My Car?

 

chicks?

 

shit diet, too much fried food?

oesophageal cancer from too many spirits?

No. I get less reflux now, compared to years ago when my diet consisted of
draught Bass and takeaway food. Although, last night's consumption of a
bottle of cava followed by a bottle of claret accompanied by a wedge of
very ripe brie led to some nocturnal discomfort.

slippery slope to White Lightning & a puppy on a string

 

I can just picture you sipping on a mimosa while A works her way through
a crate of Belgian ale.

 

All of the above.

Never really been that big on spirits. Just the odd bottle as a chaser.

 

Hiatus hernia does it for me.

 

I'm just watching that now. I can understand Brown Sugar, but Starman
hardly had any prominent guitar in it at all. Which isn't something you
can usually say about AC/DC and there's a reason I have two SGs in the
other room.
