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.

    • Another recommendation for Dulwich Test and Services Centre. Only been using them for a couple of years but wish I’d found them earlier 
    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
