Fatback Band
13th July 2016
All-time funk greats Fatback will be returning to the UK next month with a slightly tweaked line-up and some strong new material.
Bill Curtis assures us they won't be neglecting the classics. "We'll be playing all your 'ole time favorite hits. No show would be complete without (Are You Ready) Do The Bus Stop, Backstrokin', Money and I Found Lovin'."

Terry Callier Remembered
29th October 2012
On my first day at work in July 1990, the very first record that I worked on was the Acid Jazz reissue of Terry Callier's 'I Don't Want To See Myself'. This record had been championed on the modern soul scene by Dr Bob Jones, and Eddie Piller had tracked down Terry to his home in Chicago to license the record. Terry had retired from the music industry about eight years previously and retrained as a computer programmer so that he could be at home to look after his daughter Sundiata.

SHEL TALMY, the man behind ‘You Really Got Me’, ‘My Generation’, ‘Friday On My Mind’ and countless other touchstone records of the 1960s, the American whose impact upon British rock can never be discounted, has left the building. His friend Alec Palao offers final thoughts on the late, great producer.

Charlie Gillett
17th March 2010
Charlie would have hated all this fuss and bother over him. He was the most self effacing man I have ever met, and in the last year or more I confirmed that view, working with him on the ‘Honky Tonk’ CD. It was entirely about the music and the people who made it and the people who helped them produce it and get it out there and promote it. That’s what excited Charlie.
