My old mate Claire Hamill helped Wishbone Ash out on two albums Just Testing (Living Proof) and Number the Brave and toured with them in 1981.

Thanks mate i never knew about the covers or herd this cover. Appreciate it.

[Trainfish]

RIP Steve Harley.

[Moonglum]

Both enjoyable versions of "Goin' Down Slow". The Porcupine Thief is good as well (I saw GH with King Crimson a while ago - a very fine drummer).

Thanks for posting @AndrewPH , @Grassyfield @Newportnobby and @Trainfish .

RIP Steve Harley.

Cheers,

Steve Harley died? Bugger. I was a great fan back in the early seventies. Always reminds me of the time I came to Australia - Cockney Rebel were very popular at the time.

RIP Steve Harley.

Thanks for posting the vid, John.

Steve Harley (and Cockney Rebel) always put a smile on my face with their humorous singles such as 'Judy Teen', 'Mr.Soft' (I have that on 45) and the above mentioned 'Come up and see me'
He'll be missed

A bit of an oldie from Savoy Brown.

[Moonglum]

That's an interesting choice @Malc . A long time ago, I had a sampler album from the Deram record label called Wowie Zowie, Savoy Brown was included as were:

Side 1
1. Touch: Down At Circe's Place (4:47)
2. John Mayall: Where Did I Belong (3:08)
3. Savoy Brown: Train To Nowhere (4:05)
4. Johnny Almond: Voodoo Forest (3:32)
5. East Of Eden: Communication (3:23)

Side 2
1. Genesis: In The Beginning (4:08)
2. The Moody Blues: Nights In White Satin (4:19)
3. William R. Strickland: William R. Strickland Is Only The Name (4:37)
4, John Cameron Quartet: Go Away, Come Back Another Day (4:59)
5. Keef Hartley Band: Not Foolish, Not Wise (3:50)

An interesting disc but not quite as good as the Island samplers. Track 4 Side 1 features the late Alan White (Yes) on drums. John Cameron became part of CCS and has had an interesting career, Genesis sounded nothing like they would, and I rather liked Touch's "Down at Circe's Place", so here it is...

Just harking back to Steve Harley for a minute, when did he pass away? Heard nothing here.

[Bealman]

I'd like to send that Steve Harley clip to my daughters, but I'm useless with videos. I click on 'share' but it takes me to Facebook or Tik Tok or crap like that. Any  easy way of doing it, like Whatsapp or something?
