Dick Dale Misirlou 1963
Taken from the film "A Swingin Affair" released in 1963. John Peel was a big Dick Dale fan - not sure how many sessions he did but at the time it seemed a lot though we weren't complaining.
Pulp Fiction (1994) anniversary
Yesterday the 30th of the U.S. release. Did you see it? I remember everyone talking about it and Tarantino in particular. Wiki. The soundtrack was big too. We had it with the sound bites from the movie.

Over the years the site has been a theatre, a cinema, a dancehall and an events venue. Visit our new exhibition to find out more about its fascinating history.

Arthur Alexander The Girl That Radiates That Charm 1960
Just heard on Boss.
Wiki on Arthur Alexander. Listen here
Quoting the wiki
'Alexander is the only songwriter whose songs have been covered on studio albums by the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan (who recorded "Sally Sue Brown" on his 1988 LP Down in the Groove).[6] In 1987, Paul McCartney claimed that "If the Beatles wanted a sound, it was R&B. That's what we used to listen to and what we wanted to be like. Black, that was basically it. Arthur Alexander."[7]'

Somerset Carnivals
So coming soon is the Carnival season. Kicks off Bonfire night in Bridgwater. Midsomer Norton is the 11th of November. This book they have in our library which is good as it's expensive. We usually watch from Celia's balcony with hot dogs and onions. Probably the high point of Norton's year. You can watch Bridgwater online live. I will post a link nearer the day.
Red Hot and the Sans Culottes 1984
This was a crazy project we did as a. swan song in 84. Teamed up with a rockabilly trio (stand up drum and upright bass) with Gavin Lusby on guitar me on harp and recorded a couple of old songs. I don't think we sent any out but we might have. Listen here. It's not brilliant.
