But it's a mighty long way down rock and roll from Quadrophenia to Blur to Eastenders to Strictly Come Bloody Dancing, innit Phil?
Still, keep an eye on these guys - I reckon they could make it big.

Nice curtains!
Now you're talking my language. Classic
ReplyDeleteEr, who?
ReplyDeleteExactly.
ReplyDeleteSIGH. Always in the dark...
ReplyDeleteI actually watched Phil Daniels on Strictly. I'm not sure who looked more uncomfortable: him or the girl he was dancing with. It was like watching an after hours party at a mortuary...
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, doesn't Pete look good in that picture!?!?
He looks the business doesn't he? And so young....
ReplyDeleteThis is young George looks about 12 - great tunes btw - but the Small Faces always had the edge for me..
ReplyDeleteHaving said that have you seen The Who live at the Albert Hall DVD- devastating
That wallpaper'd go nice with Pete's curtains...
ReplyDeleteGeorge actually would have been about 15 in that! "Guitar groups are on their way out" I think you'll find.
That live at the albert hall thing is bloody great.
ReplyDeletePhil Daniels was ten times, a hundred times, the strictly come dancer that gary rhodes was. Fact.
(the girls like it, what can you do?)
We're an X Factor house I'm afraid.
ReplyDeleteI can only watch so much of both, and then I, er, end up leaving comments on me 'oppos' blogs!
ReplyDeleteDick - ye owned the stage.
ReplyDeleteMy family is from the same part of London as The 'Oo and my mod Uncle Peter used to follow them around the pubs of Shepherd's Bush. He claims to have been present the first time Townsend smashed up his guitar, the neck of it broke off in the low pub ceiling apparently and Pete went nuts.
ReplyDeleteHe also said they were banned from every boozer they played because they always caused a riot.
Happy days! Makes me think of this though.
