Recommended Posts

is not just the start of the 2014-15 premiership season it's also the 45th anniversary of the woodstock festival


and there's more


I'm doing a gig with the band that night and it features Miller Anderson who played at that original Woodstock festival (he was in Keef Hartely Band, Mountain, Deep Purple, T.Rex, Savoy Brown, Chicken Shack etc etc) and Tony Reeves on bass (he was in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, Greenslade, Curved Air, etc and produced John Martyn and Sandy Denny) and Jim Kimberley on drums (he was in Squeeze for a while)...and for those who don't know I used to work with a certain Mr Jansch (Neil Young, Jimmy Page, Johnny Marr's favourite guitar player)


here's a sample....on the link (though it's a different drummer)

It's at The Ivy House, 45 Stuart Road, Peckham, London SE15 - which is CAMRA's south east london pub of the year and is the first community owned pub in the UK


BTW - it's old men's music but don't let that put youb off - PLAY LOUD this will be a straight hard blues rock set with no violins or trumpets


and here's a clip

    • I don't have a beef with you. But I do have a beef with people who feel that a certain portion of the public's opinion isn't valid.  I don't like racism any more than anyone else here. But I do dislike the idea that an individual's thoughts, beliefs and feelings, no matter how much I may disagree with them, are somehow worth less than my own.  And I get the sense that that is what many disenfranchised voters are feeling - that they are being looked down upon as ignorant, racists who have no right to be in the conversation. And that's what brings out people on the margins and drives them towards extremes, like Reform.  Whether you like it or not, the racist, bigot, anti-european nextdoor to you has just as much say in the country as you do. Intellectual superiority is never going to bring them round. 
    • What is your beef with me ? Why are you asking rhetorical questions?  fighting me but excusing reform? have a look in the mirror  you’ve lost your way 
    • I don't need you to tell me to 'fight against' racism.  I know what it looks it like, thank you.  And China would be our enemy whether we were in Europe or not (and has been for a long time), so that's immaterial.  I remember covering an EDL march 12 years ago, when there was a Cons-Lib Dem coalition, so the idea that this is a new problem is rubbish. BUT Reform is doing an excellent job of galvanising a minority in reaction to smug liberals like you, who blame the electorate's collective ignorance for all the country's demons.  What right have you for a moral mandate? 
    • Both Labour and Conservatives can remove the threat of a Reform government by making making two major policy promises. And these are .......... (1) categorically state that they will take Britain out of the ECHR and (2) Undertake to remove any new small boat arrivals to Rwanda or wherever else. Reform is basically a single issue party and adopting (1) & (2) would send Reform into obscurity. The country has had enough of our judiciary making a gold-plated interpretation of the ECHR statutes.
