ead Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Alice was probably the loudest gig I've been to (supported by Twisted Sister) and I've seen a few loud bands in my time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its one of my fav rock bands from the late 70's era but never managed to see them. I've seen John Sloman with Uriah Heep and Paul Chapman with UFO. Did actually meet John Sloman and he was a real gem of a guy. Your turn again Trevor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrevorR Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 I love acid jazz but was only vaguely aware of Corduroy until their bassist did a chat at a SE Bass Bash a while back. So why all the cheesy cabaret stars? My dad ran the butchery department at Liptons supermarket in Truro in the late 70s but ran it like a proper family butcher’s shop, priding himself on great service to the customers (he got great Christmas boxes from the customers!). One of his customers was the manager of Talk of the West, “Cornwall’s Premier Night Spot” (read “only”). It was strict chicken in a basket circuit with variety acts and bands on the way down with warm up provided by the Viv Rodd Combo featuring Viv Rodd on the Hammond Organ. Dad would regularly get tickets for the family given to him as a tip - him, me and mum. Chicken and chips in a basket included. I was only 12 or 13 so was taken along on pain of death that if asked my age I was to say I was 15. It was never a problem because the manager had always reserved us a good table and greeted mum and dad with “Alfie, Ada! Lovely to see you! Come on in, I've got a nice table reserved for you.” No one questioned me after that! Saw some great acts there - all the 70s TV variety-show greats. They were all great and spotting the kid in the audience were really nice to me, chatting and giving me signed photos and the like. All except Mike and Bernie Winters... Mike was really nice but Bernie was a right #@%*... Best performer of all, and simply the nicest person to the punters was Roy Castle. Saw him every time he came down. Total gent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
