Shame everyone doesn't think like this as I'm seeing loads of AI gig flyers at the moment. All my flyers for Get Hip were knocked up on the PC using paint and still looked better than the AI ones. And that's from someone who left school with a CSE 4 in Art!

Six fingers on five strings, it doesn’t add up.

Was Ska ever part of the Mod scene? Either my mind is going or some people are trying to re-write history. I know it was never as big a Soul or R&B on the scene but I can still remember the odd tune or two getting played.

From "This is Ska" (1964)

I was watching The One Show on tv yesterday mainly due to the fact that David Morrissey was a guest on the show who I really rate as an actor. Anyway, they had a singer on called Sienna Spiro who I'd not heard before but she's just about to release her debut album next month. Sienna sang this song on the show which I'm really liking.

If anyone one is looking for a good gig this weekend I can recommend Cian Downing + band at The Cluny 2 in Newcastle especially if you like mod/ska sounds. There's a few tickets left for this gig but don't leave it till the last minute.

Midweek Sounds: and it's a couple of new releases from the Heavy Soul label. First up is the latest single from Cian Downing 'Stop The Racists Now'. I'm liking this ska tune and am looking forward to catching Cian live again when his band plays The Cluny 2 in Newcastle in a couple of weeks time.
Next up is the first in a series of 'On The Scene' EP's with the 4 tracks on this one all coming from 1964. First track up was a big fave at Get Hip Shel Naylor's 'One Fine Day'. This tune was written by Dave Davies of The Kinks and thinking about it The Kinks gave some cracking tunes away - 'All Night Stand', 'Nobodys Fool', 'I Go To Sleep' and of course 'One Fine Day'. I'm looking forward to the other EP's in this series.
Also go a CD to play too which came with issue 67 of Heavy Soul! modzine. Some me of my faves in the zine like Paul Bevoir (The Jetset) and The Hornets.
