firbeck 859 Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Fynger There was a programme on BBC3 or 4 a few months ago called an Evening with James Taylor or some such and he was very good and self depreciating, had a lot to say about himself and his abuses, and admitted he had massive blanks in his memory from the 70's. There's a track on one of his excellent recent albums where he admits to being 'A Dismal Dan' as he refers to himself. What a start to his career though, found busking on the street and taken into Abbey Road Studio to lay down a few tracks, in walk Paul and George having a break from recording The White Album, who promptly do the backing vocals on 'Carolina'.

mick2me 3,033 Posted September 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Sadly he never appeared at the Union Rowing Club. But early 70's "Fire and Rain" was always one the final smooch session records. "Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone Susanne the plans they made put an end to you I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song I just can't remember who to send it to" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mr rob t 11 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Andrew Ridgley one half of Wham. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
firbeck 859 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Pulled out the music business at the right time and happily running a surfing centre in Cornwall, no doubt soon to receive a job application from Beefsteak. Always the one to have the p@ss taken out of him in Wham, I think his satisfaction with the way things turned out in his life is no doubt greater than the considerably talented but self destructive George Michael. I saw Sparks at Loughborough University back in the early 70's, never heard of them at the time, they were fantastic though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted October 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 When I first heard Sparks in the early 70's, I thought they were fantastic. I went straight out and bought their album on Tape! DOH! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fynger 841 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Ha....cursed by the 'right click' giveaway.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
firbeck 859 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Cheats, easily overcome though. I saw Sharks at the Uni once, not bad, it was a change to see Andy Fraser being fairly with it, after seeing him attempting to play with Free and remain standing while the others had to prop themselves up against the amps in order to stay alive, you expect a decent concert for your 5/- sometimes.
