BeebRock II - Music Shows on BBC Four, Sky Arts and everywhere else

Ol' Donie · 14-03-2018 08:24PM

Why is the blues stuff on a non Friday?

Why did I see Brian Kennedy twice in this week's listings?

Still, a good deal of worthwhile stuff this week, eh? Nice one again Skid.

Cheers lads, yeah BBC4 are throwing more music shows into midweek these days, I don't think that Blues one has been on much,

RIP Doddy

Presenting the third biggest-selling single of the 1960’s in the UK (couldn’t find any songs by Jim Bowen)...

Ah nice one. Back in the had a lot of fans who wished he would do more of the music and less of the funnies.

Now, about Jim Bowen - curiosity got the better of me when WMM posted that and ... Jim Bowen did a Was (Not Was) Cover !

Harry Hill's idea apparently

Ken Dodd and now Jim Bowen. In true bullseye fashion the non dart player went first

Welsh Megaman · 15-03-2018 07:31PM

‘The Word Girl’ by Scritti Politti - another classic

Welsh Megaman · 15-03-2018 07:37PM

My favourite Sledge is definitely Percy.

Sorry, ladies.

Welsh Megaman · 15-03-2018 07:43PM

Great cannibal joke, Mike. :rolleyes:

Skid X · 15-03-2018 07:45PM

Dixie Peach got a dull enough show for his debut.

Welsh Megaman · 15-03-2018 07:52PM

‘Kayleigh’!

*switches on wind machine*

*turns machine away from Fish to avoid seeing ‘too’ much Dick*

Skid X · 15-03-2018 07:54PM

Christy Dignam was rumoured to have been lined up as the replacement for Fish in Marillion once upon a time.

Not sure if there was any truth in that.

I could picture Christy singing Kayleigh, it would suit him.

Skid X · 15-03-2018 07:55PM

"The Crowd" would be a good answer on Pointless for Number Ones of the Eighties

Welsh Megaman · 15-03-2018 07:56PM

A shaky, yet solid start for the young Peach.

6 out of 10.

And RIP Liam O’Flynn

Hopefully, some Planxty stuff can be shoehorned into the weekend schedule.

Well said, I didn't see anything scheduled yet but I saw this posted on Twitter earlier which has an old No Disco Planxty special.

This Blues doc is fantastic. Love it.

Ol' Donie · 15-03-2018 11:17PM

Howlin Wolf has probably the best name ever.

His tunes are the greatest.

Gizmo55 · 16-03-2018 12:19AM

Was there anyone who didn’t use a Yamaha DX7 in the 80’s? It was quite revolutionary I think, you could do allsorts.

Welsh Megaman · 16-03-2018 07:31PM

Ants in the Cannibals pants.

Jordan 199 · 16-03-2018 07:35PM

Set them free. Great tune.

With Divine on backing vocals :pac:

Welsh Megaman · 16-03-2018 07:42PM

‘Head Over Heels’ by Tears For Fears!

Fine tune!

I had an RD 350 at the time. It was very hard to keep the front wheel on the ground.

Welsh Megaman · 16-03-2018 07:45PM

This China Crisis Song always reminds me of ‘I’m Alan Partridge’ - it’s played in the first episode when his car has been daubed with rude grafitti

Skid X · 16-03-2018 07:47PM

China Crisis are playing support to Paul Young in Sheffield Hallam University on Thursday.

Almost 40 years going now, fair play.

Welsh Megaman · 16-03-2018 07:48PM

The Conway Brothers were never the same after Russ left.

Contemporary pop culture reference :cool:

Welsh Megaman · 16-03-2018 07:49PM

My god, Gary Davies is dreamy.

I need a lie down.

Welsh Megaman · 16-03-2018 07:53PM

So...many...synths...

Skid X · 16-03-2018 07:55PM

Apparently Jimmy Savile and Dave Lee Travis appear prominently in The Crowd video, that's why we only get a brief clip of it.

Take a look at this Geddy Lee from Rush used in the late 70's:

:eek:

Skid X · 16-03-2018 08:14PM

This BBC Scotland Songs of Ireland concert on BBC Four is decent enough.

Welsh Megaman · 16-03-2018 08:21PM

Unleash the Furey.
