Stirling Scooter Rally (Gorehounds S.C) The Gorehounds was resurrected in September 2006 by Hector who started the original club in 1982. The choice was to get away from the name of the club being attached to a Town/city, as Stirling Scooter Club which most were members off. This enables us to attract members from all over Central region without alienating them. Our aims are to be a friendly structured Club that will attend the various rallies throughout the season. The Gorehounds SC Glasgow have been keeping the club name going when it ceased to exist in its hometown of Stirling and many thanks goes to Gordie & Phil. We meet every Sunday at Lingle's Cafe Upper Craigs Street Stirling around noon new members are welcome Tags: Vespa Lambretta scooters mods gorehounds scooter club |

The Congo's - Fisherman The Congos formed as the trio(3). "Ashanti" Roy Johnson (tenor) (b. Roydel Johnson, 1947, Hanover, Jamaica), Cedric Myton (falsetto) (b. 1947, Saint Catherine Parish, Jamaica), and Watty Burnett (baritone) (b.early 1950s, Port Antonio, Jamaica).[1][2] Myton had previously been a member of The Tartans in the late 1960s (along with Prince Lincoln Thompson, Devon Russell and Lindburgh Lewis), and Ras Michael's group, and had recorded with Thompson's Royal Rasses in the mid-1970s.[3][4] He formed the Congos, initially as a duo with Johnson, recording the single "At the Feast" for Lee "Scratch" Perry.[1] Perry expanded the group to a trio with the addition of Burnett, this line-up recording the classic roots reggae album Heart of the Congos in 1977 at Perry's Black Ark studio.[1] The album featured illustrious backing singers such as Gregory Isaacs, The Meditations, and Barry LLewellyn and Earl Morgan of The Heptones.[4] The album has been described as "the most consistently brilliant album of Scratch's entire career".[5] Perry's previous productions by Max Romeo and Junior Murvin had been huge commercial successes thanks to a deal with Island Records, but Perry was in dispute with Island at the time the Congos' album was finished, so it was released on his own Black Ark label, limiting its success overseas, and causing a rift with the group.[1] The Congos went their own way, organizing a limited pressing of the album themselves. United Kingdom label Go Feet eventually reissued the album in 1980, and although the group had recorded new material since leaving Perry, Heart of the Congos proved a hard act to follow and their other releases suffered as a consequence. Albums such as Congo Ashanti were sparser and sounded ordinary compared to Perry's kitchen-sink-and-all massive productions. Burnett quit the group, soon followed by Johnson, who embarked on a solo career. Myton continued to record as The Congos with various other musicians until the mid-1980s. In the mid-1990s, The Congos reformed, with Myton and Burnett joined by Lindburgh Lewis, several albums following in subsequent years.[1] In 2005 Myton recorded Give Them the Rights with a host of backup singers and star session players such as Sly and Robbie and Earl "Chinna" Smith, very much in the spiritual 70s roots vein. In 2006, the UK reggae revival label Blood and Fire released the album Fisherman Style featuring a remixed version of the classic cut "Fisherman" from Heart of the Congos plus such legends as Horace Andy, Big Youth, Dillinger, Prince Jazzbo, Luciano, Freddie McGregor, Gregory Isaacs, Max Romeo, Mykal Rose, Dean Fraser, Sugar Minott, and U-Roy doing their own new versions over the original rhythm.[6][7] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Congos Tags: reggae roots congos |

Don't Burst My Bubble - Small Faces Small Faces were an English rock group from East London, heavily influenced by American rhythm and blues.[1] The group was founded in 1965 by members Steve Marriott, Ronnie Lane, Kenney Jones, and Jimmy Winston (replaced by Ian McLagan). They are also sometimes referred to as The Small Faces. They are best remembered as possibly one of the most acclaimed and influential mod groups of the 1960s,[2] with hit songs such as "Itchycoo Park", "Lazy Sunday", "All or Nothing", Tin Soldier and their number one concept album Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake. They later evolved into one of the UK's most successful psychedelic acts before disbanding in 1969.[3] After the Small Faces disbanded, three of the members were joined by Ronnie Wood (guitar) and Rod Stewart (lead vocals), both from The Jeff Beck Group, and the new line-up was renamed the Faces. They are also widely acknowledged as being one of the biggest original influences on the Britpop movement of the 1990s.[4] Despite the fact they were together just four years, the Small Faces' music output from the mid to late sixties remains among the most acclaimed British mod and psychedelic music of that era. Allmusic refers to them as "The best English band never to make it big in America."[5] In 1996, they were belatedly awarded the Ivor Novello Outstanding Contribution to British Music "Lifetime Achievement" award.[6][7] Lane and Marriott met in 1965 while Marriott was working at the J60 Music Bar in Manor Park, London. Lane came in with his father Stan to buy a bass guitar, struck up a conversation with Marriott, bought the bass and went back to Marriott's house after work to listen to records. They recruited friends Kenney Jones and Jimmy Winston (born James Langwith, April 20, 1945, in Stratford, London), who switched from guitar to the organ. They rapidly progressed from rehearsals at The Ruskin Arms public house (which was owned by Winston's parents) in Manor Park, London, to ramshackle pub gigs, to semi-professional club dates. Marriott's unique and powerful voice attracted rising attention. Singer Elkie Brooks was struck by Marriott's vocal prowess and stage presence, and recommended them to a local club owner, Maurice King. Impressed, King began finding them work in London and beyond. The band's early song set included R&B/soul classics such as "Jump Back", James Brown's "Please Please Please", Smokey Robinson's "You've Really Got a Hold on Me" and Ben E. King's "Stand by Me". The band also performed two Marriott/Lane original compositions, a fast and loud "Come on Children" and the "speed enhanced" song "E too D", in which Marriott would display his considerable vocal abilities in the style of his heroes and role models, Otis Redding and Bobby Bland. "E too D", which appears on their first album, Small Faces, is named after the guitar chord structure. On US compilation albums the track is titled "Running Wild".[8] They were kicked out of their first out-of-town gig, a tough working men's club in Sheffield, after only three songs. The crowd at that concert was mainly made up of Teddy boys and hard-drinking workers. Despondent, they literally walked into the mod-oriented Mojo Club nearby (then owned by a young Peter Stringfellow) and offered to perform for free. They played a set that left the local mods wanting more and started a strong buzz. During a crucial residency at Leicester Square's Cavern Club, they were strongly supported by Sonny & Cher, who were living in London at the time and had first seen them perform in Sheffield. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Small_Faces Tags: small faces mods |

This Love Starved Heart Of Mine (Marvin Gaye) Marvin Gaye (born Marvin Pentz Gay Jr., April 2, 1939 -- April 1, 1984) was an iconic two-time Grammy-winning American singer, songwriter, composer, multi-instrumentalist, and record producer who gained international fame as an artist on the Motown record label in the 1960s and 1970s. Marvin began his career at Motown in 1961. He quickly became Motown's top solo male artist and scored numerous hits during the 1960s, among them "Stubborn Kind of Fellow", "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)", "I Heard It Through the Grapevine", and several hit duets with Tammi Terrell, including "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" and "You're All I Need to Get By", before moving on to his own form of musical self-expression. Gaye is notable for fighting the hit-making, but creatively restrictive, Motown record-making process, in which performers and songwriters and record producers were generally kept in separate camps.[1] With his successful 1971 album What's Going On and subsequent releases including Trouble Man (1972) and Let's Get It On (1973), Gaye, who was a part-time songwriter for Motown artists during his early years with the label, proved that he could write and/or produce his own albums without having to rely on the Motown system. He is also known for his environmentalism, perhaps most evident in his song "Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)". During the 1970s, Gaye would release several other notable albums, including Let's Get It On and I Want You, and had hits with singles such as "Let's Get It On", "Got to Give It Up", and, in the early 1980s, "Sexual Healing". Before his death, Gaye won two Grammy Awards: one for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance and one for Best Instrumental Recording for the single, Sexual Healing on February 23, 1983 on the Grammy Awards 25th Anniversary. By the time of his death in 1984 at the hands of his clergyman father, Gaye had become one of the most influential artists of the soul music area. In 1996, Gaye was awarded with the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award on its 38th Anniversary ceremony. Marvin's career has been described as one that "spanned the entire history of rhythm and blues from fifties doo-wop to eighties contemporary soul."[2] Critics have also stated that Gaye's musical output "signified the development of black music from raw rhythm and blues, through sophisticated soul to the political awareness of the 1970s and increased concentration on personal and sexual politics thereafter."

The Who - The Rock - Quadrophenia "The Rock" is an instrumental piece written by Pete Townshend of The Who, the second to last track on their double album Quadrophenia (1973), their second rock opera. It is one of the most musically complex pieces that Townshend ever wrote for The Who, combining all of the four themes of Jimmy, the protagonist of the opera, into one six-minute musical medley. At one point during the piece, two of the themes are played simultaneously, one of which is in 4/4 time and the other in 6/8 time. The 6/8 theme's tempo is slower in such a way that every bar of the opposing themes takes the same amount of time to play, giving The Who one of the most progressive sounds they ever achieved. The name of the piece is a reference to the location from which Jimmy tells the story of Quadrophenia. He finds refuge from himself in the pouring rain on a solitary rock in the sea. The piece has neither a definite beginning or end, as it begins with a fade-in from the previous track, "Doctor Jimmy" (containing "Is it Me?", Bassist John Entwistle's theme), and starting with the theme of "Bell Boy" ( Drummer Keith Moon's theme). This is followed by the themes of "Is It Me?", "Helpless Dancer" (Roger Daltrey's theme), and "Love, Reign O'er Me" (Townshend's theme). The finale is then the themes together - "Bell Boy" as the chord sequence, the introduction to "Love Reign O'er Me" on the piano, and "Helpless Dancer" on synthesizers. This suddenly stops with the sound of a thundercloud bursting and pouring rain (which is where Jimmy finds some hope for the future and also reference Pete Townshend's spiritual fixation with water). The pouring rain fades into the final track of the album, "Love, Reign O'er Me" proper. It is one of two purely instrumental tracks on the album, the other simply titled "Quadrophenia". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rock_%28song%29 Tags: The Who Quadrophenia |

Major Lance - Love Pains (Rare Motown) The influence of Major Lance on the Northern Soul scene has been as great if not greater than that of any other artist and began well before the terminology "Northern Soul" had ever been thought of, the Major was also responsible for discovering and launching the career of the Artistics. Like many the Major started singing gospel in a group known as "The Five Gospel Harmonies". He then formed "The Floats" working together with Otis Leavill. The 'Floats" are not to be confused with the 'Floaters" and never actually released any records. It would be 1959 when the Major began working with his old school friend Curtis Mayfield, producer Carl Davis and Billy Butler, who would all greatly influence each others careers. It was Mayfield who wrote "I got a girl" which the Major recorded on the Mercury label. History has shown that things really started moving for Major Lance when he joined the greatest Northern Soul label ever "OKeh" around 1962. His first OKeh release was the little known "Delilah", soon to be followed by his first US chart hit "Monkey Time" which is a record many a Northern Soul will fan still have in their record boxes and one which would help cement the Major's working relationship with Curtis Mayfield. This partnership would go from strength to strength and deliver many great records including "Hey Little Girl", "Um Um Um" and "Rhythm". In 1965 the major toured the UK, this was far before his later Northern Soul success in the early 70's and was supported by a UK backing band fro Middlesex named "Bluesology, who appeared live at the Twisted Wheel and whose pianist was an unknown youngster named Reggie Dwight, much later to become well known to us all as none other than Elton John.
