Hello Groovers,
Back in 1979 I saw at JB's old King St venue in Dudley a band called The Little Roosters featuring a guy called Gary Lammin - they changed my life...that sounds dramatic - but they did in the sense that I was music mad anyway - but when I saw this band I knew that making music / doing music / being a musician was all I wanted to do...and being the drummer in this band was what I dreamt about!
Fast forward 28 years to December 2007 - me and Gary have been mates throughout these years - me being a total fan of his music and style and also playing and recording with him over a number of years. As mates we've laughed / argued / been up / down / exuberant / demoralised and loads of other emotions that turn you upside down in this game...there's been times we've wanted to strangle one another and times we've been there to cheer each other up...basically we've never lost respect for one another. They say in this music game that sometimes you need to get away from where you're from to get appreciated and then return. Well in November of 2007 Gary Lammin got a chance to go out to the States and record in Keith Richards studio (yes that's Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones) and also put a tour together along the East Coast taking in major city's such as New Jersey and Boston - he also got to do some TV on a cable music show in New Jersey called Sonic Lobotomy - this is where Gary finally started to realise what many of us have tried to instil in him for years...that he his a great rock n' roll songwriter / guitarist. The response he got in the States to songs he's written from his time in bands such as Cocksparrer, The Little Roosters and The Zen Buddha' Boot Boys (who I was involved in) blew him away.
Please hit this link -
http://soniclobotomy.com/page10.html to view the Sonic Lobotomy Music Show Special on Gary in the States. What you see with Gary is what you get...a real personality - not a fake mock up celebrity - he's the real thing and hopefully those values are starting to be cherished and sought out in the 'oh so flaky celebrity' dominated world of 'spoon fed' music we get now.
Hope you enjoy it - please pass the link onto other like minded souls...Gary Lammin is once again 'Roostering With Intent'!
God bless

Hello
Groovers - first of all
apologies if you get this message more than once it seems that the gremlins in the electrics at the Little Civic on Friday have infiltrated my mailing list as well (again)!!!
Thanks for the turn out and support. It was one of those nights on Friday - don't know what the problem in the building was but it scared the shit out of me and Martin and probably you as well - as the electrical fault seemed to be getting worse! We were laughing about it later and I don't think I've ever seen the big Geordie move so fast in my life as he did when he jumped off the stage owing to that shudder and loud humming
noise that happened at one time during his set - ha ha - like I say I'm laughing now but wasn't laughing on the night.
In comparison to Martin I got away lightly with faults during my set although I was pretty pissed off at the end with the fold back cutting in and out during the last two numbers...it really throws you on stage - because although the sound is still going out to the audience - on stage it's as though you're being
un-plugged and the plugged back in.
Not blaming the PA engineer (Jim) who was pulling his hair out trying to sort it - it seems the fault was likely to be a bad in earth in the buildings electrics - and also Phil Turner the promoter who
apologised profusely and was pissed off at the whole set up of the night - from rows of chairs being left in place from the previous night and not enough tables and chairs being put out...to him not getting any response until the gig was over, for someone from the technical support at the Civic Hall to come and look at the electric fault in the Little Civic...frustrating night all round.
Anyway - I hope we managed to salvage some sort of musical entertainment from the evening for you.
Thanks again for your support.
