Product Information

Avoiding a career in Merseybeat, McGear concentrated on his photography and drifted into the charts in a somewhat sideways manner. And on Lily The Pink,” he continues his trip down memory lane, “I said to Jack Bruce, ‘Play whatever you like,’ and he said, ‘To be honest, Mike, I think it’s best if I just go boop boop boop boop…. On reading all of the above possibilities I think the meeting place for poets and musicians is the one I will discuss with him. he brought up a British band that I had heard for what I think was the first time ever earlier that very day — the oddly organized site that is Pandora.

I read that Roger McGough 'doesn't like music and never has' - maybe that's why he made such a shit record. In an interview upon the single's release, McGear said "we recorded it because we wanted to bring a spark of happiness into this hard, dull world of ours. the Aintree "i" my father was best mates with a compair there and the song was a tribute to this place for making mersey beat what it was. The Aintree Iron is actually an anagram for a heckler (later to be a rioter) who frequented the clubs in Merseyside in the 1960s. He’s just been talking to The Wall Street Journal and now he’s telling me, “It’s a pleasure to be in Record Collector.Mr Betty didn't cry, but became very bitter and twisted, and has now gone on to the stage of being wildly optimistic about West Ham's chances in next year's UEFA cup, which is a bit worrying. But then, famous people found themselves attracted to this strange trio of pre-hippie, post-Kerouac pop poets.

Well, a stirling performance by West Ham who came within a hair's breadth of winning a couple of times. McGear also released his first solo album, Woman with some of the musical performers from Grimms, and Grimms as a unit continued with their exhaustive tours of the UK.The iron tracks had long since been pulled up but the walk along the raised route towards Maghull still bore that name. My lovely fellow-spinster flatmate is Scouse and I used to live in Liverpool, so I'm afraid I shall be dressed in red tomorrow pretending like I give a monkeys about football. When the song came out we couldn't understand why The Scaffold made reference to it but we never considered it to be anything else. If in doubt about the health or condition of your horse or camel, you should seek veterinary advice. A Scaffold song that is both catchy as fuck and also has the simplicity of a kids tune is “Gin Gan Goolie.

Reminds you of "What does Lucy in the sky with diamonds mean" or the words to "Whiter shade of pale"! Elton John, Jack Bruce and Graham Nash were among the session musicians who performed on The Scaffold's early records. Vitamins B6, B12, and FOLIC ACID counteract a deficiency and ensure normal red blood cell formation and survival.html, the Aintree Iron is not mentioned in the song "Lily the Pink", only in "Thank You Very Much" (also by the Scaffold).

I read somewhere that it was three pubs somewhere in Liverpool whose location together on the map was in the shape of a flat iron. Their debut album was an entirely live affair, and their second album featured a side of live tracks paired with a side of studio recordings. However, after a few whiskies, the vibration from the music would have an effect on him and he would become aggitated and think he was back in the trenches.On 9 April 2020, the original members of the Scaffold released a re-worked version of "Thank U Very Much" in support of the British National Health Service staff during the COVID-19 pandemic. McGear’s well-known brother Paul – aka “our kid” – contributes songs, melodies, and his usual musical brilliance. Most people thought it meant the black bull area (mentioned in the article in the weblink) which is indeed an iron shaped group of buildings (Back Bull is a pub).
