Oh if only I still had them. It needs people like your good self to remind me of bands Ive seen, records I've owned etc.
Vinyl Friday
- Thread starter Klenchblaize
- Start date
Never part with vinyl, its a diary of your life. Still buying old records now after 2 girlfriends cleared off with record collections. Never too late to start again, get a good record player, its more rewarding then a bad girlfriend.
Heres a good one for you, Nic Jones popularised the hammer technique of guitar playing that John Martyn excelled at. His singing & timing is fantastic. Thanks once again to K for a marvellous thread, music & shooting the icing on the cake.

Nic was a God gifted special guitar player and one that I have played on stage with, got drunk with and best leave it there.
I was fortunate to spend time with him, Tony Capstic, Martin Carthy, Vin Garbutt, Wizz J and a good few others, an explosion put pay to my guitar playing, but thats another story, sadly a car accident put paid to Nic,s fine guitar work.
It does though take up a lot of room and this is just the well-organised vinyl!

What a lovely story, thank you so much for sharing. & sad to hear of your accident. Wizz is still going, he recently played at Cromer Pier, but I was unable to attend. Hope I get another chance. We did manage to get Michael Chapman out here to the farm for a very special gig, it turned out to be his last one unfortunately. All the very best Levisp, & keep em coming.
Heres another small world coincidence, the melodeon player on this track just happens to live a few miles away, Tony Hall, used to drink a lot in my local. Know his daughter well too! Cheers.

So even more recent.
Two good friends, brother from across the pond visited myself in 2021. Amongst the various presents brought over were some CDs and I avidly listened to them all.
However one track hit me like a hammer, I pulled over, listened to it a couple of times and carried on my way.
You either get it or you don't, but this track struck a nerve so deep every hair on my body was raised.

I want to know who was managing “Family”!

Exactly, they were sort after at that time 71
Talking to Michael Chapmans tour manager about a European tour, he said they were banned from so many venues that he had to book Michael under the name of Roger Chapman, (Family) True story.
Only because I’m a sucker for a spiteful guitar and get down on my knees every day to thank God for the BBC:
