I spent a lot time in the early 80s in Manchester nightclubs,especially Brambles and The Millionaire and it definitely wasn’t for the music! Very few got me on the dance floor, we had LV from last year so here’s another that I quite liked. D TRAIN YOU’RE THE ONE FOR ME

Deep Purple ‘ Made in Japan’

1982 was the year I was introduced to a mate of my brothers who was very into his West Coast music and we used to swap albums as my brothers taste was different. It was also the year a number of artists from very successful bands released their debut solo albums, we’ve already had Don Henley ...

CAST ALL CHANGE Like most of us I was familiar with all the singles, which still get a lot of airplay today on Mrs MCD fav station Radio X .Unfortunately I never really got into Cast at the time and nothings really changed listening to this album. I agree they can write a good melodic pop song...

Good luck mate.

Yes I really like it, very different from the DBTs

SLOW MOTION COWBOYS WOLF OF ST.ELMO I think everyone knows this is my type of music,it’s Americana,Alt Country, Insurgent Country ,Rebel Country or whatever the hell it’s called these days.The genre Americana now seems all encompassing. Reckless Kelly and The Youngers do this type of country...

I missed this artist to nominate for 1979,when she released her self titled debut album, I’ve never been a big fan of female artists with a few exceptions and Rickie Lee Jones was one.I saw her live at the FTH back in 1979 and I loved her first three albums.The second album Pirates from 1981...

I’ve seen loads of Americana bands in small venues, quite a few at the BP in Manchester.

An artist who influenced Bruce Springsteen, who played his song ‘Quarter to Three’ as a regular encore for many years. In 1981 Bruce returned the favour and resurrected his career.The album ‘Dedication’ featured some of Bruces songs and the E Street band Gary US Bonds. ‘JOLE BLON’

Ha you know me so well :-)

Never heard of them, but after first 5 tracks right up my street.

Hope you feel better Rob and rest up so your ok for your break.

Quick update, I had my Brachytherapy procedure at The Christie last Friday.I have to say all the staff there were marvellous and we are lucky to have such a renowned hospital in Manchester. I’m just taking things easy for the next couple of weeks and then hopefully back to playing old man’s...

Excellent news Bimbo.

Sorry for your loss mate.
