On With The Show (Live) [Digipak] - Amazing Blondel (The)

A Blast From The Past

Advantages: Good tunes, music with intelligence
Disadvantages: None, unless you want noise

First, a question: what is the link between Dave Stewart of Eurythmics and the song Hi-Ho Silver Lining? No? Then I?ll have to tell you, won?t I? The answer is Amazing Blondel. But of course, that clarifies it like Bisto clarifies milkshake, doesn?t it? So I?ll have to explain further. Amazing Blondel were a cult band in the 1970s. Two of its members, John Gladwin and Terry Wincott, had been members of the too-loud rock band Methuselah (Terry Wincott?s description, not mine), which broke up in 1969. The two, friends since their Scunthorpe schooldays, stayed together and recorded an album of acoustic music, far quieter than the ?bang-your-head-against-the?wall-rock? (again Wincott?s description) of Methuselah, with a group of session musicians. The sound was slightly folksy, at times even Country in sound. John Gladwin ...

Review of Englishe Musicke - Amazing Blondel (The)

The clothes show live-2004

Advantages: see celebs and free gifts!
Disadvantages: its only on for 5 days a year!

I am in yr 9 and I am taking Textiles for my GCSEs and one day out of the blue our technology teacher said ' we have 10 spaces on the coach to go to the clothes show live in Birmingham NEC on Tuesday 7th of December, do you want to go?' I wasn't quite sure but I gave it a go!! I paid £26.50 for the day and bus fares there and back. Which I didn?t think was too bad! We left school at 9:15 am and got there around 12:00 after stopping for a refreshment break half way there! With aching legs we walked down to the massive NEC. We were told we would meet at 2:00pm to go to the catwalk. I and my 5 friends roamed off until after 10 minutes found the pink zone! There we saw the gorgeous Phixx live!!

Review of Clothes Show

An amazing concert

Advantages: Cheap to buy; a collector's piece
Disadvantages: Still quite rare. Only available on CD but was originally on vinyl

of old Jackson Five footage. Then the brothers stage a mock quarrel, where Michael doesn't want to play old songs but the rest of the band do. In reality, it was Michael who wanted the old songs performed on this tour and it was the brothers who wanted to showcase new material. Michael was right though and the audience always love the old stuff! And next on track 8 we have a Jackson Five "I Want You Back/ABC/The Love You Save" medley. Fantastic! Track 9 is a short burst of "I'll Be There". Michael shouts "You wanted it old fashioned, you got it!" After all that 1960s nostalgia it's back to more recent material with "Rock With You". Every time I hear this it gets me very excited because the audience join in. "You know that love survives so we can rock forever on" is sung by the crowd and it reminds how that is really a live show ...
