This one is an excellent 'hot' West Coast session. It was reissued on CD as part of the Conn 'West Coast Classics' and is definitely worth seeking out.

Same pressing as my copy. Cost me a couple of quid - must dig it out. Ronnie Scott 'Scott At Ronnies' (UK RCA, stereo)

Essex Girls Duke of Orange Kia-Ora

I've avoided these like the plague for that very reason.

Ronald McD Bozo The Clown Krusty

All the best ! :party:

Allen Lowe's "That Devellin' Tune" Box 2 of 4, CD 9 of 9 Good early stuff !

That confirms that the gigs I saw (went at least twice, it was so good) must have been Summer of 81.

Happy Birthday Slide ! :party:

Some great sets on that list - very fair pricing too.

Ravel Debussy Rimsky-Korsakov

Can't get any worse ! The only way against the Euro is up.

Those were the days. Never got to see Dexter at Scotts - big regret.

I'm holding out for a total collapse of the Euro.

Mona Lott Stanley Crouch Peter Crouch

Certainly remember hearing Avery Sharpe with McCoy but it wasn't with that particular band - slightly later on, again at Scotts, when McCoy played there with his trio. I think Albert 'Tootie' Heath was on drums on that occasion.

Happy Birthday HB ! :party:

Definitely John Blake. Can picture him now up on the bandstand in that white suit ! Saw that band with Blake around that period a couple of times (around 1981/82) and it was absolutely smokin'. Never heard Tyner play better than back then. Joe Ford completed the front line. John Lee was on bass and Wilby Fletcher on drums I think (had recently replaced Sonship Theus). I think the band I saw was a quintet though - don't recall George Adams being in the front line (it was at Ronnie Scotts). They played several of the tunes from 'Horizon'. To this day, I still rate hearing this band as one of the finest performances I've ever witnessed.

The nearest he got to that was on 'Dr Terror's House of Horrors'.

How about the hardcore acts like The Wurzels and The Yetties (not to mention Jethro ) Pam Ayres is Oxford I think so 'A Northerner' (ie. anyone North of Shepton Mallet)
