Mud were great fun ; they always manage to cheer me up even today when I check out their TOTPs performances . In fact my 2 1/2 years old niece loves 'Tiger Feet' and dances along to it with plenty of smiles and laughs in abundance !
Hey Rob, fantastic recordings that will live forever. Dynamite, Cat, Rocket and the mighty 'Tiger' are some of the most perfect pop, ever laid down in a studio. Strange how when I'm on the sauce, that Mud always end up on youtube full blast. The perfect accompaniment to a case of 'Neck Oil'! Thanks for the riffs and the joy you've all bought to peoples lives. It really is rather special.
Great to the hear the story..very much the same as mine.saw them a few times in Manchester.. had the honour of supporting them at the Davenport theatre..thanks a lot lads
In their first song writing session together, Rob Davis and Cathy Dennis wrote "Can't Get You Out of My Head" for Kylie Minogue. Released in 2001, it was the first song to have 3,000 radio plays in a single week in the UK, reached #1 in all but one European country and sold over four million copies. Davis and Dennis received an Ivor Novello Award for composing the most performed song of the year.The song was originally intended for Sophie Ellis-Bextor, but she turned it down.
I was big mud fan and went everywhere.tgere was 3 off us kathy willman.sandra st Louis.kim Miller.. was great times back then.stoll have my mud scsf.hugs
Very interesting; I grew up watching Mud (live in US now). Interesting to hear about how these guys were already doing well on their own, getting gigs and writing their own material, then met a producer and were "packaged" so to speak. Wonder how many bands were like that back then?
+Jojoseahorse Lots of starting bands weren't allowed to record their own music and session musicians were hired. The vocals would be added later. The Sweet's first 4 or 5 singles (Poppa Joe, Little Willie, Funny Funny, etc.) weren't recorded by Steve Priest, Mick Tucker and Andy Scott; just Brian Connolly's vocals were added to pre-recorded sessions by musicians chosen by the producer and/or songwriters. Slade idem: their first couple of singles (under the Ambrose Slade moniker) were not recorded by the band themselves...
In a similar vein , check out Sid By Side where Robs good neighbour has an acting part , alongside Rubettes, Fox, Hello, Stephanie De Sykes, & Des Decker,
Rob thanks for everything specily when you are playing in the band MUD I am now already 65 and I still love the songs. I still want to move when I hear the music i cant sit still. You guys are great. I never forget that time in my life never.
It was par for the course during glam. It wasn't a skirt though, they were "bags", super baggy trousers. It was a fashion. Makes more sense if you factor in their pre R'n'R revival flower power days.
Rob,the most flamboyant man in 70s rock music,wonderful,those days of mud were fantastic,thankyou Rob
on off….
The guy from Sweet was far more flamboyant ,so was the one from Slade
I was into heavy music but had a soft spot for mud, they were good fun and didn't take themselves too seriously
What a fantastic guitarist, songwriter and person Rob is. Mud were my favourite band as a kid.

Met the guys in Folkestone at the Leas Cliff Hall back in the 70's, all very nice, a great time in pop history. Thanks for the music.
Great musician, great in the superb MUD, & great song writer, in fact Rob is just a flipping LEGEND!! xx
Lovely man. So very English in the best fashion.
You are great Rob!! MUD ROCK ON!!!
Mud was an awesome friendly group. Didn't know of them till a couple of years ago as they weren't popular here. A shame. Rob is a fantastic guitarist.
Best wishes fromm a Big FAN FROM GERMANY I LOVE YOU😘🤩🤩
Was listening to Rob on Forth Valley radio last night great listen
La chance 🤞🍀🍀🍀
Ils ne passent pas en France et très peu, trop peu en Belgique 😢😢😢
The joy of guitar shops is not dead!

That must be the one paying his bills! Back then, I was so surprised that he co-wrote it: THAT guy, from MUD?
superb memories, mud were a very underrated band, rob reminds me of ex sex pistols drummer paul cook!
We was on Jim will fix it telly show with mud..I got on stage and sat there with Jim and Joe bugner the boxer.😊
Brilliant

+JimmyRJump Thanks for the info :)
what a nice bloke...
darn it, WAY too short!
Didn't he write Kylie's Can't Get You Out Of My Head? I'm sure I heard it was Rob.
Wow! I mistook him for Sex Pistols drummer Paul Cook.
Enjoyable segment. Is there a longer version of this interview???? .
Great in his day

The pronunciation is quite strange.
Pretty standard South London accent. He was from Carshalton. Married at least twice, had a son.

Saw Mud play at the Golden Diamond Club in Sutton-in-Ashfield a number of times before they became famous.
