Nick Gill, Debbie Arthurs, Keith Stephen, Bruce Rollo and a chap from Melbourne, Australia on clarinet! ...it's that long ago i forgot his name, if anyone recognises him let me know! ...good times!

The Wildcats Of Kilkenny - J.P's jig !!
Переглядів 283 роки тому
Another little fiddly-diddly one from the chaps written as a tribute to the late J.P. (...there are only so many in the world who know exactly who that is!) ...one of the tunes taken from their 4 track E.P. simply titled "4". Mixed with a few pics from the archive to watch while you listen. ...were you at that Town Hall gig? ...recognise anyone in the crowd?? ....enjoy!!
The Wildcats Of Kilkenny - Lol's Song
Переглядів 493 роки тому
A nice little tune written and recorded by the boys as a tribute to a lovely old gentleman they had known who would sit quietly in the corner of the local pub but who passed away very suddenly. An original tune but with a nod to "a man you don't meet every day" dropped in for good measure! This tune was featured on a four track E.P. they released simply titled "4". It was the first time they ad...
Electric Leg - Lady M'donna - Danny McCormack, Al Gare, Dene Beresford !!

Many years ago I had the great pleasure of seeing these guys performing live in Middlesborough after which I bought Dean's last copy of their very limited run CD. They formed just after leaving King Pleasure and along with fabulous vocalist Jon Leonard were quite simply the best rhythm section in the business! I know, I know, the piano is leading the way but Danny, Al & Dean were the stuff of l...

New Constellation Jazzmen - LIVE!!! (...well, sort've?)
Переглядів 103 роки тому
A long time ago a young Mark Sheppard had the idea of putting together a group of young jazzers to form what could have been a great little Trad band. I doubt any of the guys know there was a video camera present this night, unfortunately being operated by a novice who knew nothing about backlight and such, however....!! I maintain there are snippets of magic worthy of saving here, even if some...
Joe Temperley - Temperley's Town - feat. Cecil Payne, Milt Hinton, Buck Clayton. old VHS t.v.prog.
Переглядів 1,5 тис.3 роки тому
I found this clip I recorded from T.V. a long time ago because I had a fascination with upright bass players and I knew there was an interview with the great Milt Hinton. It was a jazz series called "Jazz Apple" & this episode featured Joe Temperley talking about his life in jazz and the people & musicians he's met along the way that became friends. Please forgive the fact that it's only 20mins...

Saved from possibly the last ever cassette copy , have a listen to some classic Wildcat jiggery-pokery!! 1. - Polka's - (..again!) always the opener but been tweaked! 2. - Strange - jazzed up Doors classic with a minor reel squeezed in! 3. -...
Wildcats Of Kilkenny - 2nd ever recording on audio cassette!

The Wildcats 2nd time in the studio from around 1997'ish? I think this tape was a "pre final mix" and sounds a bit thin but.... ...it's probably the only one left in existence! ...so hope you can forgive. 1. - Polka's - always used this set of tunes to open with! 2. - Ah, Tremendous! - jazzy/rock'n'roll ditty with whooping & hollering! 3. - Sally Gardens - traditional Irish ballad with a groove...

Short clip of the guys from summer '97 when they played an afternoon session at a family fun day at Castle Eden walkway picnic area. This 1:21 minutes is all that remains of the video but didn't they look young!!

    Eddie Barefield!! Super reedman Milt I met - told me he was playing the same bass he had all his life. Very nice person Sammy played wonderful piano - this is a nice memory of NYC jazzman - Joe was remarkable and accepted by all the best as we see here.

    A blast from the past. The tune is "Someday" Sweetheart ". Can't remember the Clarinet players name either. It might come to me. I enjoyed those gigs too.

    It was a nice bit of you and your bass when it was still shiny, but the sound was almost non-existant I'm afraid, Hopefully by now they've made enough money to get the walls plastered, or at least a stool for the drummer? Chordially Stan, and thanks for keeping in touch, it keeps me from going mad!

    This is top rate, but in addition to doing this great classic rock & roll it's a shame they couldn't create something of their own...Ian Dury comes to mind as someone that could do that & did in fact do that..🤔
