I first went in the uplands 1976,chris was one of my best mates ,i wouldn't have started singing in bands if he hadn't pushed me ,tony was the guest of the Germans for being naughty and can't remember who else ,but there was a gig at the walmer castle and got volunteered by Chris to help out with the singing

I believe you will find that Mel did sing for Shadowfax, but it was only a one off, which I believe was one night at the Newlands Tavern.


After that they has a Welsh guy called Brian that sang for them.


He also got them a gig in Wales, which was at Barry Island, I can't remember the name of the pub, but I know it did happen as I drove them there in a van, and we stayed at one of their houses that night.


How we got there in one piece after the gig I will never know we were all totally smashed that night!


Tony (Churchy) Church is alive and well and lives in Downham.

I just found an old Shads cassette and transferred it to mp3. The track is called Skewiff and it's a decent bit of early 80s power pop/rock.


I can't be bothered to put it on YouTube but if someone else wants to feel free. PM me and I'll send it over

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
