🎵 Fred Frith - Founder of Henry Cow - A Little Joint History

I came across an old Fred Frith album in my collection today and recalled that when at school I ‘knew’ that he was the son of the headmaster of my school.

I forget how I ‘knew it’ and over time even started to question the truth of my own memory (just because they have the same last name, blah blah blah .. )

So, with the internet on hand, I just finished some ‘research’ - ok I went to Wikipedia to see if I could find out if there was any truth …

Turns out he was. Still is I assume!

”In the early 1970s Fred’s grey Morris Minor sported the band’s heraldic logo, much to the amusement of boys at his dad’s grammar school in York where he was the headmaster.”

I even remember the car. The memory was real.

🎵 Antoine Baril - One Man Genesis … if you like Genesis, instrumentals and covers - this is a pretty good 17minute Genesis medley - playing all the instruments himself.


🎵 … while I am on the topic of Danish Music … Kim Larsen with Gasolin … no apologies.

^^This version^^ didn’t include the ‘opera singer’ …

this one does

slower, older, later

the original album version


🎵 Always liked this song … please don’t hate me for it.


🎵 The Guy On The Left - Mick Moody, ex Whitesnake. The Guy On The Right - Harmonica player Alan Glen, ex Yardbirds and countless others.

The occasion?

A very private session in the English Countryside. Sometimes the best way to see music.


🎵 I like to think of these albums as ‘perfectly formed nougats of beauty’ … not saying they are … it’s just how I like to think of them. 🎶


🎵 It was more a collective than a band per se


🎵 Anyone know this crew?


🎵 …. and right up to modern times …. keep your ears open for Dom Martin 🎶
