The one you picked out John on the previous day had some heavy James Brown involvement but you probably picked up on that point yourself. The Moles aside (and I thought I would include some Australian input), your choices today lean towards the less indie end of things but that could be coincidence? I remember the Rah Band having a huge hit in the UK in the late 1970s with The Crunch. I think.......think....I also recall the track you posted although it reminds me a little of Shakatak who were popular in the early 1980s and two of whose members lived locally to me up on the Farthing Downs.

Red Snapper,
Good band,
though in reality their concerts were hard to endure (very flashy bright stroboscopic lights and too loud over-driven sound).

I like that one. I'd like to see him live. I never saw him live. I only saw the spin off Tom Tom Club live. Womad UK has the Flaming Lips this year. That is a major unexpected coup. But if the Flaming Lips qualify as "world" then surely they can get David Byrne. He qualifies as "world". I also liked rrr's Red Snapper and was aware of them but never saw them live either.
(Incidentally, does any other reader agree that there is more than a passing resemblance between Mr Byrne as he is today and Mr Schofield just before he became angry and started pretending to attack whatever TV camera is focussed on him?)

By coincidence, a guy in my local charity shop recently told me I should buy their album "Making Bones" which I duly did (going cheap). Didn't get past the first few tracks, but I'll give it another shot.
Here's the other song Byrne played. The choreography's a lot of fun.

4. The Family Cat ...
vocals are a little like Neil Hannon's (Divine Comedy)

Several of them came from Cornwall but I am not sure if that included the lead singer. If so, there would be a (tenuous) celtic connection what with Neil being from Northern Ireland. But none of The Family Cat penned "My Lovely Horse".
Neil ....
"To The Rescue" is the most impressive for me. Very well composed, he knows his harmony theory.

All very different today chaps.Was that really Cassisus Clay? What an all round good egg he was.
Thanks all.My pick is 69's though.
Oldish "Secret" band founded in 1983, from Saint Petersburg.

Caution, Virus, could be contagious, do not listen more than once:
Quote: George Kaplan @ 1st March 2020, 12:02 AMWilko's been with Norman for a while. He played with him when I went to a Wilko gig about seven years ago, and he was just as much fun to watch and hear as in his Blockhead days. I saw Dr. Feelgood once too, early on in their career, at an afternoon/evening event they put on fairly regularly at The Roundhouse on a Sunday with a mixed bunch of artists. I think The Pasadena Roof Orchestra might even have been on the same bill! I definitely saw them there one of the times I went.
I saw Ian Dury on the first Stiff tour and he blew everyone away. He also drummed for Wreckless Eric.
I saw Wilko last year with Norman and Dylan Howe on drums - son of Steve Howe of Yes. Got tickets to see him again in May supported by Otway!!!!

Dylan was on drums when I saw Wilko too. Never made the connection till you just pointed it out.
