Africa, A Journey into Music was very interesting - worth a watch if repeated. BBC4

It was very good and deserves a part deux. There is something very special about the music of Mali and their still relevant traditional instruments.

Hi, Sky Arts are going massive on the Isle of Wight Festival this weekend. Blanket coverage all weekend of the 50th anniversary of the event (which had a brief hiatus from 1970 to 2002). Some of the coverage is also on Sky One, there's so much of it I have split all the IOW coverage into its own listings this weekend.

BBC4 is in the middle of a series of shows to commemorate Women getting the vote, they use this as an excuse to role out repeats of vaguely female related music shows.

A few other bits and bobs too, here come the listings beginning with the Sky Arts Isle of Wight FunFest ...

Yeah Richard Jobson did spit on the ground as the sisters passed by, but it kinda got elevated into him practically gobbing straight into their faces which wasn’t really the case I believe anyway. Gobbing was a bit of a punk thing, though. No need for it is right.

That takes me way back. I saw a U2 gig in the Stadium in the early eighties 2/3. The gobbing was unreal. The supports were- The Members and I'm pretty sure The Skids. The Members walked off stage mid-set due to the gobbing. U2 came on and the industrial gobbing continued. A couple of songs in, a large lump of phlegm lands on Bono's shoulder. He proceeds to scrape the lump off his shoulder and puts it in his mouth. Absolutely gross but, it completely stopped the gob fest :eek: Not sure he'd do that today.

On a similar note. I just posted this in the Liveline thread.

I hadn't a chance to reply to this yesterday.

Long time posters will know Shane is a good friend of mine. Back around 2002 Shane had been in hospital after another of his hip breaking episodes. He'd been booked with the Popes to play a series of shows around the country starting in the Olympia. He signed himself out the day of the Olympia and ended up puking on the stage. Duffy dedicated the following day to people who wanted to give out about it. I joined the tour the next day and told Shane that he was being scandalised by Joe.

His answer was. "F*ck that c*nt. I launched my career by puking on stage in 1977. I'm not gonna stop for him "

Jeez, that is pretty rad. Not at that level but I saw the Clash at the sfx in 1984. Bout 3 songs in Strummer stopped the gig mid song and implored the audience to beat the cr@p out of the next chunt that gobbed at him. Moments later I saw a few guys laying into a skinhead who had been acting the maggot all night and had actually threatened one of the guys I was with earlier. There was no more hassle after that.

Also remember Annie Lennox getting showered at the Phoenix Park in 83. Fcuking disgusting to watch that was.

Ain’t no one sweeter than our Lita (Ford)!

Had a peek at the Isle of Wight on Sky Arts. The Script are on doing their U2 impression. My best friends dad went over from Dublin ticketless to the inaugural festival in 1970 and has tried to describe it to me on a few occasions. He sat on the hill overlooking things and saw Hendrix but said The Doors weren't up to much. I doubt Hawkwind were known outside squat circles then but if you ever have time take a look at the Miles Davis (Bitches Brew) set which is just ridiculously good.

I thought there were two brothers involved in organising it? Jeremy Beadle and hand conjures up a different picture for me, hehe.

Easy to forget just how big Feeder were circa 2001 - a good antidote to all the ‘bedwetter’ bands who were around at the time (Travis, Starsailor etc.)
