I wonder if anyone is Scotland is thinking "Och, I'm really not sure about this referendum, but seeing as David Bowie asked us to say, I'd better vote Nae"

Welsh Megaman

MONKEH!

Skid X

Amateurs! Amateurs!

I loved seeing them live in 2012. I thought it would never happen.

I felt like I had The Moon On a Stick.

Conspiracy theory time!

Some say they fixed it to screw up on purpose, due to the way they had been treated by the crew during the day :cool:

Welsh Megaman

Ha!

First heard this song on a 'Grand Theft Auto' compilation :O

Skid X

Kate Bush is a class act. You could take so many of her songs and they are miles ahead of anything you would hear on the radio these days.

Welsh Megaman

This may be from the 80's

Welsh Megaman

A robot! Awesome!

Skid X

Imagine being in the TOTP audience to watch that? It must be up there with being a regular in The Cavern or being at The Sex Pistols first gig.

But then the Robot self-destructed on the Bill Grundy show and it was all over.

RIP Rah Band

Welsh Megaman

Chilly up there in the rafters by the look of it

Skid X

Tina Charles must watch this and think - how did the Rah Band singer get a nice dress and a glitterball?

Most unglamorous Disco shot there ever, very odd.

Welsh Megaman

The Edge with hair

Welsh Megaman

Never remotely been a fan of U2, but this is a good song - a predict a bright future for them

Is this billed as 'Jeff Lynne's ELO'?

For years, there was an 'ELO Part II' led by Bev Bevan without Lynne.

Bit strange to have that Radio 2 concert on the same night as the Invictus Games gig.

Ah well, they said they would put some highlights on Youtube. Pity it's only on the Red Button tonight.

Harry Palmr

Mister Blue Sky ... Mis-ter Blue Sky ...

'Hon the Jeff, That looked like an enjoyable concert, there are a few more links in the side (only one song per band)

Welsh Megaman

Heads up/reminder for tomorrow night (BBC Four at 9pm), a new series called 'Oh You Pretty Things' as part of BBC's 'The Sound Of Style' season.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2014/sound-of-style

Looks good

Skid X

A kind soldier of the Internet has posted the full Jeff Lynne/ELO concert from Sunday

Skid X

Ahoy Hoy. I heard Johnny Marr being interviewed today, I didn't know he guided Noel Gallagher in his early days. They both wrote classics on the same guitar. If that Guitar could talk it would say "Why did you smash me up, Noel?" Here's the link (only a few minutes long)...

With contributions by Paul Weller, Brian May, Noddy Holder, Cliff Richard and Jeff Lynne. Cut-down version of the feature-length documentary

Tribes: Lauren Laverne narrates this three-part documentary exploring the influence of musicians and designers on the coolest and craziest looks in Britain, and how fans emulated their idols. The first programme focuses on the golden years of the 1960s, when Mod legends the Small Faces became the best dressed band in England and the Beatles and the Rolling Stones embraced psychedelia

Friday BBC2
11.35pm - Later With Jools Holland

New series. The eponymous pianist returns for a new run of eight instalments. With an impressive 44 series already under his belt, the same 'in the round' formula will be reworked for this run as Jools welcomes some of the world's biggest artists, kicking off with alt-J, the indie trio who perform tracks from their pending second album, This Is All Yours. North Carolina's Ryan Adams is no stranger to the series, having appeared on three previous occasions. He will be performing a couple of tracks from his self-titled, self-produced 14th LP. West London Soul act Jungle and singer-songwriter FKA Twigs will also be promoting their respective albums, and American R&B singing group The O'Jays will be joining Jools round the piano. Extended version of the live edition shown on Tuesday

Saturday BBC2 HD and BBC2 England (but not BBC2 NI or BBC2 Wales)

12.05am - TOTP2

Saturday BBC4
The Story of Top Of The Pops 1979

A look back at a heady year for the chart show, which recorded its highest audience of 19 million viewers, as physical format singles peaked at four times that number. Social problems in Britain during the Winter of Discontent did not stop inventive musicians from making hay as eager fans queued up to embrace their output, and new wave, 2-tone, reggae, rock, folk and electro hits competed for the top slots. Among the featured artists are Gary Numan, Nile Rodgers, Jah Wobble and Woody from Madness

Saturday RTE1
11.15pm - The Imelda May Show (repeat of last Sunday's Show)

The singer-songwriter is joined in the studio by pop-rock band The Script, rock group Aslan, singer Derek Ryan and pop-folk duo Hudson Taylor for chat and live performances

Sunday BBC4
Quadrophenia - Can You See the Real Me?

Guitarist Pete Townshend revisits his former haunts in Shepherd's Bush and Battersea, London, to reflect on the Who's sixth studio album Quadrophenia, released in 1973. He recalls how the record was nearly abandoned due to financial problems, a culture of drink and drugs, and a studio that was under construction. Featuring contributions by fellow band member Roger Daltrey, manager Bill Curbishley and record producer Ron Nevison

That's about it, Hot Fuzz is on ITV on Friday at 11.40pm, which is good fun and made all the better by having this over the End Credits. Adieu.

Ol' Donie

Wahey, The Quo are back!

Now, here's a worrying thing (as I listen to Pat Kenny talking about Alzheimer's disease)...

I can't remeber if i've seen that Pretty Things documentary before. Surely I have at this stage? Looks interesting. But then, anything that has The Beatles in it's preview looks interesting to me. :-D

Thanks as usual, Skid.
