Blackjack Blues Band - Falling In Love With You.
Переглядів 133Рік тому
Back in 2009 in Whistlebinkies, Edinburgh. A great Frankie Miller song covered by the excellent Blackjack Blues Band. Apologies for the shortening of the song, camera malfunctioned partway through but got going again; anyway, I still like it. Great lead guitar playing.

Colinton Railway Tunnel Mural
Переглядів 263 роки тому
This is a simple, rather wobbly, video, taken using a hand-held mobile phone, on a walk-through the tunnel. The extensive mural is a recently completed (Summer 2020) community artwork project, situated in a railway tunnel in Colinton Village, Scotland UK. The tunnel was built for the Balerno branch line, much of which is now a footpath / cycle track and forms part of the Water of Leith walkway ...
Pete Bowie Band THE BROTHERS at Preservation Hall (Event B)
Переглядів 1083 роки тому
Preservation Hall, Edinburgh, Scotland UK. This recording is from a VHS tape belonging to Pete Bowie. This video is labelled Event B because there is another recording of the same band at the same venue, round about the same time, playing pretty much the same setlist, and I'm calling that one Event A. (Also uploaded to UA-cam.) The songs are great throughout, superb performance from Pete and th...
Pete Bowie band The Brothers at Preservation Hall (Event A)
Переглядів 5483 роки тому
This video is pretty much the full gig, showing Pete Bowie's band, The Brothers, at Preservation Hall in Edinburgh UK, circa 1990. Any information on the exact date, or even just the exact year, would be much appreciated. Pete's own recollection is that it was late 80s or early 90s. This video is annotated as Event A, only because there is another video of Pete's band The Brothers at Preservati...
Sunshine Delay at the Village - I won't stop now (part)
Переглядів 2058 років тому
The excellent Sunshine Delay had their first gig in 15 months, or thereby, at the Village in Leith on 29th December 2015. This was their last number (before an encore was obtained by general acclamation (who he?)) and includes Paula name-checking the band. Interesting to hear Iain playing so quietly we could hear a pin drop; before the big blast at the end, of course.
Grey squirrels on roof
Переглядів 638 років тому
Two squirrels on the roof of a house. The squirrels climb, very easily, the harled (pebble-dashed) walls of these houses; in fact on occasion they just lie basking on the vertical wall face, head down; seem to quite enjoy it.

Amazing Grace - sung by an Italian male voice choir
Переглядів 3888 років тому
Apologies for not taking details of this excellent choir at the time; the Hotel Savoy Palace, in Riva del Garda in Italy, put on two choirs for the Friday evening entertainment in their large function room, and very good they were, too. All I recall is that the second choir (seen here) were announced as a fairly local choir; maybe it was Trento? If anyone has good information on the name of the...

Right John, how are you doin? Still going to Bannerman’s? Still missing the Cas?
Nailed it! Great arrangement! 👍
Jim Walker the drummer used to teach me drums 34 years ago, i remember watching the Brothers at the Preservation Hall every Thursday. He had a stunning looking girl friend called Clair😍
Dougie Robertson on bass.
True Story Deek LOL
I seem to be replying in the guise of my daughter Soph's account!!!
Best cover band in Scotland that i ever seen.
I always loved that song. It`s not easy.........Good job
gay
Kinda' relaxing John.
Is that Taylor Phillips on drums??
Just spoke to Gus and it is!
excellent john your doing great
Its called blues'n'trouble - CT
Thanks for your info, cheers.
Got to be Robbie of "Planet Wheels" (Wholesale) If it is he's the man who introduced the VIZ comic to Britain! He found the mag at my shop in Gateshead "Brainstorm book shop" & took it to "Titan Distributors" London who printed them from then on! Also took the Kitchenware band "Hurrah" to Scotland on a small tour (I was their drummer at the time!) If hes alive & kicking tell him Hello from Mark
Miss you boys .. see you soon
I love these guys! Always a please listening to them when every other joint is playing James Fucking Arthur and the likes
Hey man, i found a Ronnie taits record some time ago an i fell in love with the mans music, do you have any idea where i could find the rootsie tootsie bands albums or Rootsie duos albums? This song was really good!
This is great. When we toured in Scotland (we are from Holland) in 1988 we saw Frank play at Pres Hall. We just arrived and i was introduced to Frank by Adam. . Before the show he asked if i could play his guitar so that he could listen to the sound of his setup. I hardly couldn't play because his action was so low the strings where almost down at the fretboard. But i did anyway, cause i liked his playing and thought the guitar looked great! He thanked me and he did a brilliant show that evening (october 1988). So today i find this video which is, again, brilliant! I think its the same guitar...lol. He made his own guitars didn't he?
Yes, this is a great wee video, bringing back all those memories of Preservation Hall. I also understand that Frank made (makes still? i wonder) guitars. I think that he and Pete still meet; Pete is living in the Algarve, Portugal.
Great to have the three horn section players identified; many thanks for that. I think that leaves only the keyboard player un-named? Anyone know if it could have been Brian Kellock? He eas around then, and sometimes played with Tam White and the Dexters at Preservation Hall, if I recall correctly? Anyone help with this? Pete?
Doug (Bass player replying) Keyboard player was Greg ?surname - he played and toured with the Proclaimers live band around the time this was recorded, great player and a lovely dude
Hi there! My dad Bill Giles is on trombone, Kenny Thompson on sax, Neil Weir on trumpet. This is really great to see! Thank you! Freya x
Doug (Bass) - highlight of my bass playing life in those days was doing it with that amazing brass section
Lel my grandfather drives the train there
these were good days john, sorely missed. hope ur keeping well
nice bit of information about the further north you go the bigger the eagle owls become,,the western siberian eagle owl very nice colours.
NO trademark song Rab, Country Boy. . 😞
plays straight from the heart everytime, :-) Thanx fir the entertainment over the last 30 odd years Rab.. :-)
thee BEST GUITARIST you will EVER hear.
You are brilliant. remember you from the oak. I wont't forget yo put roses on your grave.
I was fortunate in visiting this museum long before it opened. I met Don who had acquired the Compton and it was in the finishing stages of installation. I was able to play it and remember the occasion well and all credit to Don's determination and hard work that the museum has opened and filled with wonderful exhibits.
+beaufighter245 : Hi, I have to say it was many years ago when we visited the museum. We enjoyed looking around the exhibits, but can only imagine how much more fun it would be to play the instruments. [Not that I can play! That would be even better.] :-)
Wow~!wonderful! Great! Amazing!...Commet. please....Passing Notes Approach by Bass Line...Custom or Thumb Over(Jimi Hendrix..or..John Mayer.)?ua-cam.com/video/6qmi1vdJphA/v-deo.html What do you think about this?
+김덕성 Sorry, but not me playing. Not sure what techniques are being used by Andrew Stirling the bass player. Perhaps you could Google and find him via the 'Safehouse Blues Band' website?
Enjoyed that. Thanks.
Go lads, cant beat CCR.
Everyone is batty about this old ratty. This train is loved and cared for by a team of volunteers. There is so much passion about this line and its continued use. It was expensive but as an all day event, it became cost effective. I travelled with my dog to the end of the line. We then walked the circular walk to the church, the waterfall and then to the one shop along the estuary. It was a lovely day out. We took some great photos.
Excellent Johnny! Please post some more from this gig. Cheers. Ali
Clare Moran Dempster your brother was very talented so sorry for your loss! hugs
Lisa Eckman ty so much lisa !! xx
Anyone who does their best to cover the best rock and roll song ever written by the best rock and roll band in history gets my respect. Keep it up!
Aww no Stevey died? So sad, spent many hours enjoying his music when I lived in Edinburgh. What a gentleman. RIP.
good to see another vid of stevie making it onto youtube john
The sync seems to have survived the upload this time. (Unlike the FB upload.)
I'm Gary's son. Are there any videos of us playing ?
Luv it !
Rip stevey love this so much
The engine looks like Bill and Ben from the Thomas the Tank Engine series...
This is a Peckett 0-4-0 locomotive, Bill and Ben are based on a pair of Bagnall 0-4-0 locomotives named Alfred and Judy. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagnall_0-4-0ST_%22Alfred%22_and_%22Judy%22
@@williamtown4058 I helped to restore Judy to steam because I put some money in her restoration box.

superb cover .....as good as I ever heard anywhere
Longstones finest!!!!
:D awesome play i give all my respect :)
Wondering if this is gordon willis brother of geoffrey who used to live in newbridge avenue sunderland in the late 60s? many happy days going down to see free at the filmore newcastle road..
Pretty sure this is your man; i'll ask him when i see him (next wednesday probs). All your points fit except i don't know what street he lived on; but how could it be anyone else (i'm asking myself).
John A Wylam He had a border collie called gyp His mam was called Gladys i think and his dad leslie..We went to see all the bands at the fillmore when geoff docherty was there cos my dad worked in the la strada and he used to get us in cos dad knew geoff..I was friends with allison souter and vivien laidler..hunsy david huns and he went to monkwearmouth school. christ i sound like a stalker...lolzzz Lin x
Lindsy Reay Must be him. I've pinged off your messages to him, though i have to say that social media is not his strongest suit, and we'll see for sure. But i'm pretty certain now.
John A Wylam thanks x
is that Charlie & the sheepdogs Charlie john?
Woah, just found your comment, Duncan. Yes, spot on; its Charlie of Charlie and the Sheepdogs, as you remember well from the Darnley days. I got her recent CD not that long ago (Charlie Davidson - 'Blow me away' album, recorded 2011 at Houndsman Studios); it's a very classy piece of work, excellent blues / rock. Includes 'Well well well', and there's 11 others. Well worth it. Cheers, maybe see you down at Bannermans for your annual visit later this year??
+John A Wylam I would love to know where to get a copy of the album as I know Charlie from years back
+emma craig Hi, I see Charlie every once in a while when she comes up to Embra to see the Rab Howat Band at Bannermans in the Cowgate; Saturday afternoons 4pm to 6pm or thereby. I mentioned your note, and she has plenty of CDs so could send you a copy. Charlie is on Facebook so you could look her up there maybe, so you could make a connection. Don't know whether this link will work, but worth a try? facebook.com/charlie.davidson.12576?fref=hovercard Cheers, John W.
lovely sounding bells in this chime. While Taylor's had made carillons (23 or more bells), this one has 13...a chime, played from a traditional chimestand.
Thanks for the comments, John. (I didn't know it's not a carillon unless it has,23 or more bells! I must see if I can correct the title.)
Good God.... I remember this as if it was yesterday. I played with Free 'n' Easy at weekends and regularly went to see Pete and the Brothers. Frank Usher...arguably the best guitarist around. Thank you John. Mike
took a minute to recognise gary martin, last time I saw him was in the early 90s when he used to do a bit with stevie hay. was always a good moothie player
