The Sugar Hill Gang musicians were essentially, Skip McDonald, Doug Wimbish and Keith le Blanc. Who are also Tackhead, Doug WImbish is also the bass player in Living Colour. Skip McDonald is also Little Axe (Dub Blues). Not sure Keith Le Blanc will be appearing, there was a falling out over the use of the name Tackhead on remixes and some unofficial Tackhead releases that weren't sanctioned by the rest of the band You were correct about Mark Stewart On 14/03/2020 at 05:51, Seat68 said: African Head Charge, Dub but with Nyabinghi Drumming, essentially a vehicle for Adrian Sherwood and Bonjo Iyabinghi Noah with assorted ON-U posse supporting. Released an album last week for the first time in at least two decades, its superb Quote Horace Andy Yes there's the Massive Attack connection but he's also a reggae star in his own right Oh and Gary Clail is considered a word removed in On-U circles these days... took the money from a major, thought he was a pop star and fell on his arse as soon as the On-U stable wasn't involved. He was essentially some bloke who ran the sound system, using all Sherwood's samples and mixes, he was never going to do it on his own. Shame, he was always nice to me but he thought he'd made it and didn't need the exact thing that got him there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted March 18, 2020 Author Share Posted March 18, 2020 Who was last to ever see a live music gig then? I'm guessing it was either @mottaloo or @cbr600rr ? I'm guessing I got the bronze medal unless those two were late fallers. Or @mjmooney is still doing his tour of clandestine speakeasies? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I was pencilled in to see The Regrettes today I think it was. Of course that's gone. God this year is going to be dull. No gatherings, gigs, festivals, can't go on holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 RIP Eurovision Song Contest 2020. Finally a bit of good news. Obviously a lot of people miss out on income and work but looking at it from a pure musical point of ear it's great news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The state television channels are basically taken over by it for months and it produces a newer ending stream of untalented ass hats who make a living by taking part in family game shows and singing contests the whole year round. And many of the people who are involved in it are the ones screaming the loudest about the Football WC or other sporting events should be boycotted by Sweden because of human rights issues in whatever country. But at the same time have no issue what so ever with the Eurovision being held in Azerbaijan, Israel, Russia, Belarus, Turkey and so on. It's extremely petty but if I can't have my EURO's then neither should they Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was this one particular girl, though, she was so beautiful, she used to knock mah eyes out every damn time. One night she flipped this funny little heart-shaped pill and jes died there right in front of me. Now she dont dance to techno anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted March 18, 2020 Author Share Posted March 18, 2020 I think I’m getting the silver medal, I don’t reckon there were any actual instruments at CB’s gig. Mine and Mottaloo’s were same evening but mine finished 8:30 so I reckon he’s done me by hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 This has weirdly turned into a mental time for gigs, except you are at home, and so's the artist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Because I tend to like American artists. I have got to get up at 1am next week to watch a gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
