Interesting fact, STD's excellent single Its A Game was covered by The Bay City Rollers. I remember hearing The Bay City Rollers version and grudgingly thinking it wasn't bad. Not a patch on the original, though. I think I first heard the SDT version on a trailer album from Charisma. If my memory serves me right, the album also had VDGG's 'Theme One'. |

The George Harrison Project at the Grand Theatre here in Lancaster tomorrow night.
They haven't sold a huge number of tickets which is a shame but I'm looking forward to it. |

String Driven Thing were either the first or second band I ever saw.
There were two gigs put on at my school in 1973, the other was Tír na nÓg and I can never remember which came first! |

I think I stumbled across STD because of the VdG(G) connection. I've got a couple of their early albums on cassette (really nice copies) and I picked one out (Machine that Cried, I have a feeling JC may have already left by then?) last year and gave it a spin - great stuff. |

John Mannion of String Driven Thing. An original and exciting band. I took a chance on a sale LP and loved the raucous energy of the group. His guitar sound was fabulous. Sad to hear of his passing Yes they were a good band- I bought the CD reissue of the Machine That Cried. I always liked them but it was a long time before I caught up with them . Couldn't buy a lot of albums back in those days 🙂 |
