Hearing Skinflick - In God We Thrust
Myself, the Secretary, Andy Fatman and Steve Sync trundled over to Menai
Bridge to take part in recording Walton's Records for BBC Radio Wales. A pop
quiz hosted by Adam Walton in various pubs across the land - this time in
the Four Crosses.
I finally got to meet Hue Williams, the Minister for Cool Welsh Pop, having
sparred with him many a time on the radio, and also Andrea who was the lead
singer with 80s indie band, the Darling Buds. They were the team captains, I
was on Andrea's team.
Two shows were being recorded, I was on the second one. Andy Fatman was
included on the first show, having blooded him on Adam's Sunday night show 3
days earlier when he tagged along with me for my link2wales monthly archive
slot. Fatman did very well, and it goes to show that if you have a huge pile
of NMEs and Q magazines next to your bog, it does pay dividends for pop
quizzes.
Being on Hue's team meant that Fatman ran away with the answers giving the
Minister an unbeatable 3-0 lead by the time the 2nd recording was due to
take place, but we gave it our best shot, but being nowhere good enough to
pull anything back.
Another highlight of the night was actually meeting Duncan Black, the
ubiquitous guitar mercenary, where we swapped Jack Sharp anecdotes!
The rest of the night was certainly medieval torture in the jewellers shop,
as after a pizza from Gino's, we enjoyed 3½ hours' sleep before the fucking
crows started tapping on all the windows in a Hitchcock inspired frenzy!
They did the same thing this time last year and we used black bin bags to
deter them. This year I'm gonna shoot them instead.
Crow pie anyone?

As an anarchist/archivist, they's no one to beat you....but them lip reading classes are doing you no justice. Give 'em up & enrol in some Real Meat cookery courses ( i refer, of course, to this months gallery on your www.link2wales.co.uk site). Looks like it foetus burgers @ mine this Sunday, then......medium-rare, naturally.
