Band of Her Majesties Royal Marines, ............ arguing! "It's my turn in the Tiger skin!" "T'aint, you had it last week."

Band and Bugles of the light infantry playing High On A Hill

Massed Bands or one of the Royal Marines Bands... playing high on a hill... even better

H I wish I was on comission! Perhaps I am just an Anchor faced, pussers, Corps loving git.
Prez, they can poke the Tiger skin in the summer!! Horse Guards Parade in August is hot enough in Ceremonials without the cat on you.

Loz was always a bit of an animal.

Give me the 40'sand 50's when the singers could actually sing, without having a mike tied to their head so that their voice can be digitally enhanced, whether they are on the stage or not. This was a time when a song would played and sung a comfortable level, and each side of stage was not packed with speakers the size of a double decker bus that drives you into the back of the seat with the noise, and as far as hearing what they are singing then forget it. Bring back the hundered peice bands that would play to you all night in a dance hall to tune that were pleasent and you could dance too, rather than some pimpley DJ blasting you with sound
of records you have never heard off and would never want to.
I must sound a right old misery, and that could be right, but at least i have seen them both working and I know which i would prefer

Glen Millars all round, then. And don`t even start on Ambrose or Joe Loss.
No idea who these people are, by the way

Heard a dit, ref the first unit to do London Duties with SA80. Think it was 40. Rehearsals were going well till the Band marched past. The bass drummer resplendant in Tiger skin, was of African extraction.
RSM booms out,
"And who told you to come in civvies"
Larf? Bet they never stopped

British Dance Bands of 30's 'n' 40's + British Singers of that era.

George Formby, Inkspots, Mills Brothers, Dick Haymes (Better than Crosby (don't rate him)) Ella, Peggy Lee, Sinatra, Dino, Como , Vaughan Monroe... Far too many to mention.

Q: Who was the only British recipient of the Soviet Unions' Order of Lenin?

A: (I sh*t you not) George Formby

Apparently it was mostly due to the film where George says "Ere, I want a word with you" to Hitler and decks him. It was a great source of inspiration to the citizens in their hour of need

As for me, this week I as bin mowsly lissning to Pink Floyd

Meddle......at the mo'.

Also been listening to an album called 'Live floating anarchy 1977' by Planet Gong/the Here and Now Band (I was given a B&O gramaphone recently and dug out this record to try it out) - judging by a previous post of yours you might have heard of it (I think Steve Hillage plays on it). Highly recommended if not - bet you'd like a bit of that sir

Only Gong spin-off I was into (ooh ooh, were you into them sir, were you sir) was Pierre Moerlens Gong.

I was given the record by a mate at school - the cover says "Don't pay more than £2.25 for this but better to rip it off if you can"

. I don't know much about them but the front man seems to be David Allen (from Soft Machine) after he'd sought asylum from his native Australia (methinks he got it the wrong way round). They seemed to be routed in 'the Canterbury scene'. I did come across a tape of them doing the same set at Glastonbury in 1991 but I think 30 years of mind expanding substances had taken their toll by then.....ARSE.

Half Man Half Biscuit, consistently the best UK band for the last 15 years.
Roger Waters "Amused to Death" is as good an album as anyone has ever produced, and the Breeders "Last Splash" is a classic.

Now hands up all of you that can remember Donald Peers and his programme on the Light Programme of an evening at 6.45pm and would run for 15 minutes.
