  • Long title hey ?
    Well, I was pretty excitedwhen my dad took me to see this funky big band in 1972, the year this album was recorded.

    As a ten-year-old, my two major impressions from the show were :

    1.I wanted a wah wah pedal. Now. Right now.
    But it was to be five long years until I got a wah wah pedal.

    2. Singer Kerrie Biddell looked a bit like my mother.
    Maybe she wasmy real mother, and dad was just trying to tell me ? ...

    In any case, this is a pretty funky 70s big band, perhaps a little looser and dirtier than the european equivalents of the time.



    Best known track is "Dirty Feet"sampled by rapper Mobb Deepin the track "Shook Ones Pt. II". It starts with a breakbeat from sampler heaven, goes into a big brass section then builds into a psych guitar meltdown.



    "City Sounds"is like a mini soundtrack, big band soul working it's way into an almost "free" middle section with crazy wah wah and scraped piano strings, plus great work by Kerrie Biddell/"Mom" who brings things back to basics at the end.



    "Three for One"is a little like the music from an imaginary 70s detective show, perhaps with shots of the main character joking with pretty girls around the water cooler at the police station, then we cut to the money shot of him taking aim with a fat gun at some bad

Frank’s wonderful manager, Ron Rowbottom came up with the idea that we might get bored staying in the one spot and also that there was an opportunity for Frank to be a ‘Sunday Star’ in another town. The first trip was easy enough, just a short hop to Whalley in Lancashire. The next weekend was something else! We were booked for a Sunday afternoon concert in Chichester, in South-East England…473 km (294 miles) away! The logistics of playing Saturday night in Blackpool, Sunday afternoon in Chichester and then Monday night back in Blackpool did not bode well, but somehow we managed it.

    …on stage with Lyn Paul, 1987

    On the other side of the coin, a regular Sunday visitor to The Sandcastle was Lyn Paul, formerly of The New Seekers. I was fortunate enough to be hired to play guitar for her on at least one of those shows. On another Sunday, October 11th 1987, a day off, I travelled to the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham to watch Bob Dylan with Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers and Roger McGuinn, and a mighty concert it was at that! The following Sunday we
