The Summerwine.net music thread

A poignant post Tony , evidence of the younger musicians embracing his music can be seen a couple of pages back on 3rd of June when I posted Cynthia Erivo's version of this very song on Jools Holland's show.
 
Just seen these guys from just down the road from me (well, Port Isaac, a few miles)

This guy was absolutely ridiculously brilliant. I'm embarrassed to say, and I've been into rock since 1978 I have only recently really got into him. Obviously I heard this and that over the years but when you really listen he blows your socks off.
 
I met him pre gig many many moons ago he was just wandering around Newcastle City Centre not many people recognised him but I of course I did shook his hand [ gently] an said how much I was looking forward to the gig that night and not to impose I moved on as did he.

I was in a technical college in Dublin in the early eighties and former Thin Lizzy member Eric Bell was in a band called skid Row at the time. They had a Friday night residency in The Baggot Inn and we went there very often. We used to meet Bell regularly, usually along Grafton Street and he would nod and say hello. I used to feel a bit starstruck when he would recognise me from seeing me often in the venue.

Excellent guitarist Mr. Bell. That's prompted me to put on Life, Thin Lizzy live album later on.
The Rocker by Thin Lizzy.
Gary Moore in the video but Eric Bell playing.
What an amazing riff.

Interesting acoustic cover of a prog (pre-megafame) Kansas song. On top of an outstanding execution, of note is the flute replacement for violin.

Phil Lynott was actually sacked by the lead singer of Skid Row, Brush Shiels in the late sixties. They remained on good terms and by Lynott's admission Shiels taught him to play the base guitar. Phil went on to form the band Orphanage with Brian Downey which evolved into Thin Lizzy.508687985_24772892712301299_1720221571263365474_n.jpg

"Influential BBC Radio one DJ John Peel is known to have repeatedly stated "Teenage Kicks" to be his all-time favourite song, from 1978 until his death in 2004. When he first played the song on his show on 25 September, he played the song twice (something he had never previously done). Peel also specifically requested sections of the lyrics of the song be engraved upon his tombstone."
