There will be. I have 2 more boards to lay the track on first however.

I was more asking about the trackbed itself. It's very hard to tell what that is when youtube has mashed your video up and compressed it

Falls somewhere between punk/post punk and Indie I think.

Certainly in mindset the latter. They didn't get much support from the Welsh media and industry because they were well punk and all that, so set up their own record label and the like.

Quote from: port perran on February 01, 2026, 10:57:54 AMI lost my music mojo in the 80s and to this day it's an era that I just can't raise much enthusiasm for.

I managed to last through the 'New Wave/Romantic' bits and early club anthems but anything after the 80s is pretty much useless to me (with the odd exception like Floyd's 'Pulse'). If 90s + stuff crops up on TV quizzes I just go and start preparing my evening meal

Im the opposite in many ways. I rather like s lot of the stuff from the 90s to the present day but a lot if it is not main stream

Colosseum

Another look back to ancient times and one of those bands that I "cut my teeth on" in the very early 1970s.

Formed by saxophonist Dick Heckstall-Smith.
Other band members, from memory, John Hiseman, Dave Greenslade, Dave Clempson and Chris Farlowe on vocals who I always thought had a rather unique style.
I think I saw them twice back  in about 70/71.


If I remember correctly they issued a double Live Album on vinyl with a unique self cleaning system which made extracting the discs from the plastic sleeve a bit awkward.
