Ok so maybe not the ring to it as James Brown at The Apollo (vols 1 and 2) from 1962, but Saturday 26th Jan sees Eddie Flord, Geno Washington and Pauline Black in Norwich - details here. I've never actually seen Geno, but understand his live shows are energetic. Eddie Floyd is a stone cold legend.
I've only ever seen Pauline Black in the first incarnation of Selecter, live at Lewisham Odeon (1981?) supported by I think The Bodysnatchers. The days when the sieg heiling bonehead contingent made their presence seen, heard and felt. Infact Selecter got adverse comments I seem to recall from, of all papers, the Daily Telegraph along the lines of "Don't Rock With The Sieg Heilers". Now firstly the stereotypical Telegraph reader would more likely than not have preferred the NF / BM nut jobs than Selecter and secondly it clearly escaped the notice of the journalist of the colour of most of the band. They were hardly going to invite these people into the gigs with open arms, let's be honest. Unfortunately I can't find an online reference to the article. I'm sure I didn't dream it though.
Norwich's Modernist Night Out
Some general ramblings and musings when the fancy takes - well, it's easier than writing new web pages everytime! Plus it's a quicker way to add updates
