Whacky ! but i fear its the lot from Glasgow - Check out Better days - just checking out some of the other bands on youtube - some nice old blues players Pat McManus , John Verity also playing
And there was yet another band called Jo Jo Gunn who had a hit with Run Run Run years ago.
There's also a couple of good versions of that song by Judas Priest and Girlschool.
Good song for Halloween.
The Specials - "Ghost Town":

Tonight I have mostly been listening to The who , oasis , u2 The beach boys and fella called Raul Malo who is the lead singer of the Mavericks but some of his solo stuff is fantastic
I only discovered this band last week and have been obsessed ever since.
They sound a bit like the Waterboys with a bit of modular synth borrowed from Prince.
Picked up some good CDs yesterday in local charity shop. 4 for a quid ! Amongst them is the Faces and their last album OOH LA LA from 1973. Some great tracks on it. Love finding a gem now and then.
And also a double CD by Neil Young titled : Decade. Featuring tracks like Heart Of Gold , Cinnamon Girl, Like A Hurricane, After The Gold Rush and many more. Neil Young still performing in his 70's.
That's a brilliant compilation album. Neil Young is a legend.

Crackers there BBR - pool hall Richard / one of my faves - NY is a master - just makes me feel laid back whenever I hear him play - on another legend see my sad note in Death list - look out for Neverland Pink Fairies !
Going to see Man tonight - if anybody remembers the album Maximum Darkness !
Yes - sadly I didnt make it as I was off colour but I will be at the match tomorrow - quite a few old bands go to that venue
Been listening to a bit of Ten years After. Alvin Lee was a superb guitarist. Unfortunately they didn't really have strong enough lyrics. I'd love to change the world is a decent track. One for bbr and houch.
Love Like A Man was played recently on Planet Rock. Great track.

Great album for me is Ten Years After recorded live - Good morning little school girl , one of these days
Just a few miles from me BBR. Me and 'er indoors often nip across to Pershore. Lovely little place.
As I type I'm listening to one of my all time favourite artists. Peter Gabriel. Currently listening to "Biko". Sends shivers down my spine! Fucking fantastic tribute to Steve Biko.
One of my favourites, Henry! Those and Spooky Tooth! I had Spooky Tooth's album with the most insane title! "You Broke My Heart, So I Busted Your Jaw!" Also reminded me of Captain Beefheart. And then of course, my favourite album of that era was King Crimson's "Court of the Crimson King", which I still have. Brilliant gatefold sleeve!
.
Just as an aside for BBR, going on from the post re. Pershore. That's where Robert Fripp lives with his missus, Toya Wilcox. (Thought I'd mention because of my King Crimson bit!)
spent the night in Worcester last Saturday H. My mate has a static by the Severn, nice part of the world, very relaxing spending time by the river doing nothing but sipping a glass of wine.
It's nice here Clint, but when you have really dodgy knees and a dicky ticker like me, maybe moving to Malvern wasn't the smartest of ideas! :emoji_tired_face:
I am sure I mentioned it last year I went to see KC in Brum at the theatre - really struggled with some of it - 21st Schizoid Man was the hilight - also it was too loud - I don’t normally complain but I am sure my ears were about to bleed !
I know people will disagree but, Spooky Tooths version of I AM THE WALRUS is better than the original.
Never listened to King Crimson. Will give them a go.
Captain Beefheart for me were hard work but I do like the Safe As Milk album.
Been listening to meatloaf this evening, went to see him at the NEC in 1994 . Worked the audience brilliantly and his voice was on Top form
