thepurpleblob Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Brightened up my Friday... Perhaps you have to be a certain age, and perhaps you have to have lived on Tyneside during the 80s. However, I don't think I have seen a local band before or since with the charisma of this lot...

I vaguely recall the bass player being somebody on BassChat's dad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Great track! ...'somebody on BassChat's dad'... fame at last! I used to be 'Mark', but am now more often known as 'Henry's Dad'. Such is life.

That band made by time at Newcastle University vaguely bareable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skankdelvar Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 That really is a ripper of a bassline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 (edited) I can't listen to the clip - is it Hawaii 5-0? The bass player was Ian Thomson, I think. Lovely chap, great player. Edited March 16, 2012 by wateroftyne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been to Newcastle. I was commenting on the ignominy of being known merely as 'somebody's dad'...

daz Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Its probably that band jimmy Nail was in, wearing one doc marten and one trainer, as a 'gimmick' Easily phased on Tyneside in those days then ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
