Northern Soul Legend. I'm afraid you are WAY off target, a novelty act derided by Northern Soul devotees.

I believe Keef and Brendan both like Pearl Jam. I used to like them a lot, but only a couple of their songs have really stood the test of time for me.

OK Chicory Tip not a great name but Son Of My Father was a great song.


Mama said to me, we gotta have your life run right

Off you go to school where you can learn the rules there right

Be just like your dabbling father when it seems tradition

Never go astray and stay an honest, loving son


Son of my father

Moulded, I was folded, I was free from draft

Son of my father

Commanded, I was branded in a plastic vac

Surrounded and confounded by statistic facts


Tried to get me in but I jumped out of my skin in time

I saw through their lies and read the alibi signs

So I left my home, I'm really on my own at last

Left the wrong path and separated from the past


Son of my father

Changing, rearranging into someone new

Son of my father

Collecting and selecting independent views

Knowing and I'm showing how the change is due


Son of my father

Moulded, I was folded, I was free from draft

Son of my father

Commanded, I was branded in a plastic vac ....


I mean if someone of the calibre and credibility of say Ceasefire had written these lyrics we'd be creaming our spandex strides over them.

"Commended I was stranded in a plactic vac".

Who amongst us hasn't been there?


They played at my brother-in-law's social club in Selsdon a while back, they're back back back by popular demend in the Autumn, so I've told the BIL to get me a ticket.

I'll be down the front row with my notebook and pencil.

I'll be filing my review under the name Nick Kan't.

Yeah I did. I was confusing them with Sonic Youth. Who aren?t what you?d call 70s but I think they were formed late 70s early 80s.


Although Jesus and Mary Chain were formed around then too I think.

JB, JB, do we live in a time when 'Good Grief Christina' is forgotten to popular culture?

Has it come to this?

Has it?

I saw the Bobby Gillespie era JAMC support Sonic Youth at Hammersmith Palais, must have been 1986 though, ish?


Band name though I always like Chaotic Dischord. More for the record names though to be fair - Very Fuc#ing Bad / Goat Fuc#ing Virgin Killerz From Hell, a great double album.

    • Danny re-tiled and generally cleaned up the roof tiles on our front bay in SE22 a few weeks ago. He was fairly priced, and although the scope of the work changed slightly (something we couldn't have foreseen before removing the existing tiles), the price remained the same for the job. He and a colleague worked hard for three days (one more than initially planned) through pretty grim weather. With anything unexpected, he came to me with solutions rather than problems. They were polite, courteous, and left the site as tidy as they could after cutting roof tiles in the driving rain!
    • Perhaps first leak was caused by a combination of faulty rendering and a hole in the felt so re-rendering was able to fix it. This course of action wouldn't solve your current problem, it does sound like a separate issue. His guarantee would only cover the rerendering not any hole in the felt. Sorry this isn't what you want to hear.
    • I can't speak about other places but as someone who uses Mind in Forest Hill, these small studios are having a boom due to increased working from home.  Now I can work two days a week at home, I can use them at lunch time or early evening, it is a short walk from home so I can get changed and shower at home (so the studio does not need a big changing room or showers like a traditional gym),  whereas before Covid it would have a  been weekend only thing for me. I asume there are many like me so they can make a small space finacially viable. I am biased but Mind is great, it is a very inclusive woman friendly space, classes are very reasonable for instructor led classes, (there are different packages but you can get 10 for £100 if you oay in advance) and the fact there are very few bells and whistles keeps it affordable.   I prefer smaller studios as you don't want big classes for pilates and yoga as you need instructors to be able to see everyone and assess and adjust form for safety.
