Post a Surprising Musical Fact.

I was once an (unpaid) roadie for Yes. About 1967. Bill Bruford was at uni at the same time as me and inveigled me to help them. The gig cost 5/- (25p).
Two of us tried to dissuade Bill from giving up his undergrad course for Yes. Ha ha.

So that’s who’s responsible for that Southgate chant.

Ha ha. Yeah!

The phone box at the end of our street was the office of the agent(!) of Mark Knofler when he was a student.

Sounds like he was getting money for nothing.

The Monkees were all in fact Monkeys apart from Davey Jones who was a tall upright metal box used for storage in workplaces up and down the country.

Davey Jones before finding fame and fortune with the Monkees was a jockey and rode a winner at Lingfield.

Fact. When I were a lad in Failsworth, there were three lads that I knew all within spitting distance that went on to play in very well known bands.

I Dare you to tell? ;-)

I saw the Trailer Park Boys at the Apollo a few years ago. Absolutely hilarious, and was lucky enough to see them accompanied by the brilliant John Dunsworth character Jim Lahey. Bubbles rendition of Liquer and Whores was a particular highlight.

The Rolling Stones did the music for Rice Krispies way back in 1964. I'm an avid Stones fan and i only found out about it about a week ago, when reading stuff about Brian Jones whether he was murdered at his home in June 1969. Apparently it was a group effort but only Jones out of the band received a writing credit which pissed the rest of the band off.

Eminem's My Name Is' samples a Labi Siffre song - 'I Got The'. The bass and guitar were played by Chas and Dave.

I was watching TV show a while ago and this quite attractive young lady was on it.
Purely for information purposes, I checked out who she was at the closing credits and found out she is Mark Knoefflers daughter.
She is in Egerton too

When I was 14 or 15 I wagged school to buy tickets for Rod Stewart at the Free Trade Hall.

The Sarstedts are the only three brothers in UK chart history to each have had solo hits.

Robbie Keane is Morrissey's cousin but he wasn't aware of this till a couple of years ago cause his mum didn't think it was worth mentioning.

I bet Robbie wishes she never had.

Terence Trent Darby, the real fella is called some other name now and lives in Italy.
He goes to a lot of Milan matches and was at the champions league final

My dad was a good guitarist and always played in a band, probable highlight supporting Thin Lizzy on their Renegade tour about 1982.
But I always remember him calling one of his bands Vinegar Joe, back in the day which I know now was a rip off from Elkie Brook's backing band

Vinegar Joe wasn’t Elkie's backing band. It was a group she was part of, along with Robert Palmer.

Elkie is a cousin of Susan Bookbinder, formerly of Radio 5Live, and her late brother, John, who was a member of the 1985 FA Youth Cup-winning side.
