The Cherry Boys - Time To Grow Up
An early Cherry Boys demo recorded at the Open Eye studio in Liverpool.
A very sophisticated sound for such a young band putting modern music to shame. Hope you enjoy it!

The Cherry Boys - In The Dark
Переглядів 383Рік тому
In The Dark was written by John Byrne for the Cherry Boys and despite being a staple of the bands live set never made it onto any of the bands official releases. This recording was done for the John Peel show in 1982. I’ve uploaded it with some period imagery of Liverpool and I hope it brings back some memories for some of you!

The Cherry Boys performing their second single 'Only Fools Die' in 1982. A great tune! Sadly the clip I have cuts out the first minute of the song so I will try to upload the song in full soon.

The Cherry Boys performing their 1983 single 'Kardomah Cafe' live on BBC 2 - a fantastic record that never got the recognition it deserved. The single was however released in Spain and performed much better peaking at Number 6 in the charts.

The Cherry Boys performing at Liverpool's Royal Court theatre in November 1982. The band were renowned in Liverpool for being a great live act and it's easy to see why looking at this.

    Thanks so much Joseph.Another piece of the cherry puzzle is unveiled.Love the atmosphere of the vid,,rain in monochrome.The song itself is a slow burner,that after the 3-4 play reveals itself in all it's glory.If only the Boys had a sympathetic producer back in the day,who knows how far they could have gone?Keep these pearls coming,Joseph.

      Thanks for the comment Ian! This was sadly never released nor recorded for a radio session so it's one of the less known tracks but I love it all the same, a great live track too. And that's the plan for sure. I want to try and get 'She's So Young' uploaded but can't find a version of it. Another one that was never released but certainly deserves to be and hopefully will be an a compilation in the not to distant future.

      Hi Joseph.Really great to hear from you.I have so many questions regarding The Cherry Boys.I won't bother you here,but would it be ok to ask some questions in a future correspondence?On another matter,i have recently digitised a 41 year old copy of Give It Rice.The quality is pretty good, all things considered.The tracks include "Phone Call",When I Was With Her' and the definitive version of "Don't leave Me That Way".if you have superior versions that would be great.The songs on these recordings knocked me for 6 40 years ago and still sound vital to me.Hoping others think so too.Once again thank you and also for your wonderful vid's of "In the Dark" and "I'll Keep Moving'.Also for helping to keep the Cherry Boys flame burning.@@jrb1677

      Hi There Ian, thanks for the message a few months back, I never use this account so please excuse the delay! I'm on facebook if you ever want to ask anything (facebook.com/joseph.byrne.14855). I'd love to hear 'When I Was With Her Again' if you have that one, haven't heard it for years. I have heard that Howie, the drummer of the band, is remixing the songs and so hopefully one of these days we will have a complilation Cherry boy's record out. @@iandarlington3401
