The Owls are seeking Owlets...

Just one of my semi-regular calls to arms. Now that we're once again a fully-functional live band I'm back on the lookout for musicians to join our little collective.

If you're an Essex-based musician and able to commit to rehearsing once a week in Leigh-on-sea, and playing a couple of dozen shows a year (mostly in the South, occasionally beyond) then feel free to get in touch.

Right now we'd like to hear from you if you play bass, drums, strings, woodwind or guitar.

I picked up the Strawbs album this weekend in a shop in Knowle!

For RSD day itself I think I picked up: The Orb, Fabio Frizzi (On a very crackly coloured vinyl from Italy!), Art Of Noise, Black Sabbath, Gong, Hawkwind, National Health, Porcupine Tree, and Sisters of Mercy...

I got some on the day, but mostly from online stores afterwards.

I would have got the Blonde on Blonde but couldn't be bothered to get it afterwards. Same for the Goblin.

I skipped the Tangerine Dream because it was only an EP.





It's nice to see some enthusiasm still   out there  for
RSD and the format itself.
I'm already wondering what next year will bring.

Mott the Hoople  :   Live  - 30th Anniversary Edition  (Columbia 2CD,  2004).

Not sure  why, but I left this  sealed for a long time,  having bought it on release.  The album was due at least one more anniversary when I opened it  .

It's  certainly no disappointment.   Post Dudes but still includes some  older songs, and all of the groups lurching madness in concert.

I have to say that the hits of Beardy Festival for me were Ian Prowse & Amsterdam and Nick Parker & The False Alarms.

I'd heard of neither, but they've obviously been going for a long time and are blindingly good.


I thought they were brilliant too, but my absolute favourites were Juniper who were awesome. I think you were working when they were on
