yeah, - Princeville on thursday nights, newcy brown -some cracking bands - I remember the Lee Kosmin band getting a hard time as they played some wacky chacky funk and the audience was waiting for some rock - Son of a Bitch though- fantastic!
Queens Hall - Vinegar Joe, John Dummer, Pat Travers, etc - and in my earlier incarnation I went to see the Pioneers and Millie Small at the Textile Hall ( I think Derrick Morgan was on too)- Hole in the wall, Penny Farthing - god, im getting older by the minute.......

I went to the same school as Excalibur. I remember seeing them play live in the school hall and getting out of lessons into the bargain.

Saw all those several times, except Method who I don't remember. Fantastic stuff at WMCs back in the day. I didn't realise it was John Parr in Ponders End though. We saw him in a pub in Donny just after St Elmo's fire, stood on his own. We were too star struck & shy to go up & talk to him. |

He used to flick his plectrum into the air and catch it behind his back!
Do you remember a Castleford band called Brick supply? |

Nope. One of our faves was Squeeler. No idea where they were from. |

Martin remembers Jab Jab at the Princeville as a great reggae band - here is an update
Jab Jab are releasing an album, Keep on Smiling available in July, they have a website, www.jabjab.co and are also reforming for a reunion gig and a documentary film about them is being made. Please spread the word and send a message to them via the website as they would love to hear your memories.
Despite their great popularity, they never had a record deal and their fans could not access their music outside live performances - until now! Incredibly Jab Jab are finally getting their music out there after the unearthing of lost reel to reel tapes and a live recording cassette. These have been rescued and their album will be released in July in time for their reunion gig at the Holmfirth Picturedrome Yorkshire on the 18th JULY next month. The documentary film traces their roots from the Caribbean Island of Carriacou to Yorkshire where they were based and they played professionally, nationally and abroad, for many years. They are on a mission to find their old fans and any help is much appreciated. lots of detail on their website and links to their facebook page etc. They are all wonderful people and it's great to finally get their music shared thanks to the more affordable technology of today, compared to when bands had to have a record deal. Record companies were interested but did not have a category back then for their ground breaking fusion of traditional Caribbean calypso, funk, rock, and reggae with driving African beats. Band mottos - 'make the bad times good and the good times better' and 'one nation'.
enjoy the site and the music, message them with memories, come to the gig - and please spread the word to help them find their old fans! |
