NOT BAD?!?!?!?!?!

[taper]

Dewey Balfa. Sue - does the Goose ever do Cajun?

[Sue]

Taper - we haven't yet, but that's not a deliberate policy :)

We were approached by one very good Cajun band, but they weren't well enough known to put on at DHFC and their fee was too high for the Mag.

If there's anyone you'd like us to check out, PM me :)

The Nunhead Forum must be very quiet, KH.

Anyway, musical genius for me would be George Clinton, Prince, Stanley Clarke, Roy Ayres, George Duke, Idris Muhammad, Norman Whitfield who also produced the Undisputed Truth, Patrice Rushden, Larry Heard, Lamont Dozier, Donald Byrd, Herbie Hancock, etc.

Is it 'cos he isn't white?

And yes, that is a rhetorical question ;-)

I decided to take the name of The Undisputed Truth soul group as it sounded so great. I'm stunned how many people on this forum got the wrong idea about my name.

Anyway, as youngster I stopped listening to Radio 1 since their music was naff and my interest in quality music just grew and grew. I was heavily into club, jazz funk soul music during the early 80s and bought a number of records on imports. In some cases I could recognise producers or musicians signature notes. I tend to view m&S and the Guardian in the same way as I did with Radio 1. With the Guardian newspaper I know I won't get quality information that I want and with M&S they can't offer me the quality of food I wish to eat. I feel privileged that I can make my own choices without relying on marketing or journalists gibberish. I tend to feel sorry for those who live their life according to the Guardian or what's on tv.

well UT - Me too from 79-82ish. Almost to anorak level - wouldn't listen to anything else apart from a bit of Bowie and, bizzzarley, the B52s (oh and reggae)

[Undisputedtruth]

I listened to a few bits of reggae, including lovers rock like Carol Thomspon, though I can't remember much now.

Definitely missed the pirate stations like Horizon, JFM, Kiss.

Congratulations UDT - you managed to get the Guardian on to this thread too! Either you are a drone for a very subtle (not to say perverse) viral ad in favour of the Guardian or someone from the paper once borrowed a fiver and never returned it... either way you seem to have a big bug up your arse about it.

Nothing bizarre about the B52s quids - already mentioned Fred Schneider and Ricky Wilson on this thread - and I remember a lot of Burning Spear (dub versions) and local reggae bands that never made it big but all seemed to play the impromptu r.a.r./anti nazi league promoted concerts in the various parks back then.

[Undisputedtruth]

I won't accept the congratulations as you've seemed to missed the main gist of my post and that belonging to Quids. As a soul boy I know exactly what Quids was saying and I know the period from 79-82 was a great time for Soul, Jazz & Funk music. Also, at the time reggae was just as popular. I'm against commercial tosh like the Guardian, M&S, Starbucks Coffee, and pop music.
