[kesey]

Well the day is here .

A brekkie in Sevvie Park then then to watch the match in the Queens in Tocky then the Florrie 

[Red Beret]

I keep meaning to visit the Queens. Glad I missed the footie though. 

[So… Howard Philips]

We left at half time to drive over and at that point we looked ‘OK’. Got to the Florrie just as the game finished and checked the score.

Thought Michael Head and the  Red Elastic Band’s rendition of Love’s back catalogue was excellent.

Great turn out and an excellent contribution towards Food Aid.

[kesey]

The lad is full of light .

God Bless you Micheal and may the divine breeze blow gently upon your back.

Was it a great day kesey?

Was it a great day kesey?

Oh yes ! Got there about 3pm then went the Anglsea pub then went back about 7pm. Loads of old heads there I haven't seen for moons. What a shining light Micheal is and the crowd are just a refelection of him.

How long has Michael covering Love tracks? As he said on Saturday afternoon they are very difficult pieces of music.

He met Arthur in a hotel in Paris in about 91 I think. He played Arthur one song on his guitar and Arthur goes ' what else do you know ' Michael goes ' All of them '   

It's on the British Masters interview which I'll try to find .

Get on the streets of Kenny ( Shack song ) from Saturday.

It's a great , great pub mate. A proper community vibe in there. There's a sign behind the bar saying ' no dickheads allowed ' or something.

[kesey]

I'll try and find the ' French Film ' as we all called it . It's from 91 or 92 and it's a great watch.

[kesey]

That's all I could find for now.

The clocks on the Liver Buildings on the flyer or cover was set to 3.06pm by the way and going on pure memory on that one .

I watched that last night for the first time in moons and got the story wrong. Shack did play in the Academy in town with Arthur in 92 I think . Me mates got the audio somewhere so I'll try to get it and post it here . It was Arthurs birthday and people followed him down Bold Street and into a cafe and sang happy birthday to him . I've read somewhere that he thought it was great and was very moved by it.

Was the cafe the El Cabala or had it changed to Books from Nowhere by then?

Me mate says he can't find the recording . If you type in Arthur Lee and Shack youtube there's loads of stuff . I can't seem to post them though .

Enjoy !

All the facts are in this great article, except details about where I had to go and what I had to collect before Arthur would go on stage in Liverpool. Even spelt my name correctly, brilliant research/recall from the author.

Should be a film, you should write it.

Who are you then ? 

And ..  and... you've actually met Arthur ?  Well in   

[kesey]

When I watched that video of them in Paris the vibe I got was the Head brothers were going ' don't worry Arthur lad we've got ya ' back '

100% they did, they suggested songs he couldn’t remember. I was in the hotel with them when Arthur arrived early in the morning, Mick woke john up with Arthur at the bottom of the bed! The first rehearsal in Paris was magical and the shows all brilliant. Paris, London and Liverpool. I managed Shack throughout the Waterpistol recording and on to this point and Japan.

In the movie Who’d play you Kesey ?  Have you still got that CD of Arthur in Liverpool I sent you years ago?

I'll be happy just making the tea and sarnies for the cast     I'd completely forgotten about that CD. It'll be in the loft with the rest of me CD's. I am going to have to dig it out mate .

[moondog]

Yeah, Cast would probably also be in the movie. 😀

Was told today that the night Arthur Lee played in Liverpool, Bill Hicks the comedian was in the audience having performed at The Neptune Theatre earlier in the evening. Also there exists extensive video footage of the event, which Arthur banned from being released due to inconsistencies in both his performance and his wig being wobbly. Such a great shame that never saw the light. Guess we need an Arthur Lee thread really, someone must have seen both Bill Hicks and Arthur Lee & Shack on the same night- mind blowing.

[kavah]

Like when Rolls met Royce in the Midland Hotel or Conan Doyle and Oscar Wilde had a cuppa in Portland Place there should be a blue plaque when Bill, Arthur and the Head brothers had a shindig in town.

An ' that bit on Zee house is not a Motel is quite possibly the best thing ever .

Great footage from last Saturday of Micheal Head and the Red Elastic Band . The bit from 2.30 onwards is proper stuff and right in the groove . He's buzzing !
