have to admit that a few weeks ago i was throughing some stuff out and found an old pair of white gloves and whistle! i blame the doves for making me use that stuff!
My boss was reading this thread the other day. He mentioned that when dance music was in its prime during the early 90s he was still into 80s music and considered an old fart. Now us lovers of dance are seen as the old farsQuote: Originally posted by 172loony on 10 May 2003

- was one of the first CDs I ever brought!!!!
Reminds me of when I saw the Shamen along with Wet Wet Wet in 1986 at Barrfields Pavilion in Largs, Ayrshire, just before both made records - an audience of about 100. I was with my friend whose brother often played guitar with the Wets and we went partying with them after the gig and had a good laugh. At the time I thought that Marti Pellow & Co were great and the Shamen were a bit different. What has happened to the Shamen?Quote: Originally posted by 172loony on 10 May 2003

didnt think Mr C wasnt the band leader - thought it was the guy with the black hair and glasses!!!!
GR - you lucky thing partying with the Wets, i wish!!! Always had a big thing for Marti - scrummy or what!!!!!!!
"Wishing you were Lucky" Sawa172? I saw them getting changed in the dressing room too!!!! Didnt realise at the time that they would all become as famous as they did. Also playing with them was a group called "This Perfect Heart" and I was friends with two of them, John Cameron and Carol Laula, who changed her then Chrissy Hind/Pretenders style" and went on to sing solo in a folky sort of way and John still produces her albums now. Carol is very popular in the States and tours all over the place including the UK.

Concert reviews
Carol Laula has an exceptional voice which possesses clarity, persuasion and truth. Unplugged she is reminiscent of Joni Mitchell of the Blue album phase, and when the four piece band she appeared with last night found a lighter touch she justifies comparison with Nanci Griffith.
Scots singer-singwriter extraordinaire, Carol Laula is adept at cutting through to the heart of the matter, usually armed only with a gee-tar and a hint of harmonica. She can rock out and fill all the multi-tracks when she has to: on numbers like the pounding Tragedy Waltz, her band show they are more than capable of holding their own. The forward looking Raincloud Court is similarly energetic, this time in a Joan Armatrading Country mode, but ultimately it the quieter pieces in which Laula makes her mark.
