Wild Billy Childish & CTMF

Searching From The Losing Place / Batman

    Wild Billy Childish has been recording and performing since the 1977 punk explosion. The Pop Rivets, Thee Milkshakes, The Headcoats and The Buff Medways being just a few outfits that Billy has been involved with. All that is just a hobby - his day job is being an internationally exhibited artist, writer and vermin poet.

    CTMF (The Chatham Forts) was the first group name Billy came up with for a group whilst he was Head of Research for The Medway Military Research Group - investigating the Medway Fortifications (as well as being an Apprentice Stonemason at Chatham Dockyard, Kent, 1976). It wasn’t until 2013 that Billy got around to utilising the name.

    CTMF features his wife Julie on bass/vocals and Wolf Howard on drums (both playing with Billy in previous incarnations over the years).

    CTMF - described by Billy as ‘the epitome of modern: the sound of yesterday, tomorrow!’, CTMF have released ten albums and over thirty singles/EPs.

    Wild Billy Childish & CTMF found themselves in the studio, once again cutting some of the finest noise to ruin the peace and quiet of the muddy River Medway.

    The High Span

    Blithering

      The High Span provide a strange and special blend of DIY post-pop jangle and edgier experimental sounds, of lyric-driven guitar-indie and a bit of English awkwardness. Based in Rochester, Kent, the quartet formed around the songwriting of Kevin Younger (Subway Sect, Ye Ascoyne d'Ascoynes, Baby Birkin, The Speed of Sound and others), with fellow Medway music veteran Mark Aitken (of Ye Ascoyne d'Ascoynes, The Men From Memphis, Bob Collins & The Full Nelson, These Guilty Men and others) and expat Nova Scotian James Moore (of Pod, One Free Fall and revered Canadian alt-rockers Rusty), joined by backing vocalist Sarah Post.

      The High Span unleashed their 'Quirky Miniboss Squad' EP in August of 2020 (yeah, that year), and managed to grab attention from press and public alike, selected as one of Record Collector's singles of the year, as did their debut, self-titled album in 2023. This new album allows The High Span to continue their edgier experimental sounds. The songs range lyrically from lost-love trauma (Phantom Limb) and weird recurring dreams (Ambrosine), to the anarchist scares of late 19th-century Paris (Superintendent Baeker). The band covering the Velvet Monkeys' 1981 US psych-punk stormer 'Everything Is Right' also seems very much right. Are you blithering?

      Nervous Twitch

      The Day Job Gets In The Way

        Nervous Twitch are a group who somehow manage to perfectly blend Punk with IndiePop. Based in Leeds, UK, the trio are self-confessed song writing addicts, and have captured their infectious powerful pop on five albums and three 7" singles, since 2013, plus various EPs and compilations. They bring a sparky, energetic live show and boast a rich touring history; from hosting all-dayers in their hometown of Leeds, exploring the lengths of the UK, USA and Europe, and grabbing a Marc Riley BBC Radio 6 session, plus notable supports for icons such as The Darling Buds, The Rezillos, The Meteors and Shonen Knife along the way.

        It's time for album number six! The 9-5 grind, dreaded night shift, awkward customers or demanding bosses; album number six certainly shows the world that Nervous Twitch never let the day job get in the way. This new album showcases their flavour of first-wave CBGBs punk meets scuzzy C-86pop; singing tales of joy and feelings of frustration, with sharp character observations.

        The Singing Loins

        Camber '87

          The Singing Loins started as a stripped-down acoustic duo in 1990/91, with the aim of writing honest, bare songs, outside of any particular style, coining the phrase 'Authentic Raw Folk from the Medway Delta'. Their first two albums were recorded with Billy Childish and released on his Hangman Records. Twelve years, and five or six albums later, they added banjo/mandolin/accordion, and hooked up with Damaged Goods Records and released another four or five records (depends who's counting). With a huge fanbase in both Medway and Serbia, but pretty much unknown elsewhere, and plenty of acclaimed shows both home and abroad later, they called it a day in 2013, returning briefly in 2019 to record what turned out to be their swansong, '13 Moon Songs from Merry Hell'.

          The group's singer, Chris Broderick, sadly passed away in early 2022, having let Arf know that he wanted the others to carry on The Singing Loins' name, at which point Arf and Rob got together with Billy Childish again to write and record 'The Fighting Temeraire' album, dedicated to Brod's memory. In parallel with that, The Singing Loins added fiddle/drums/electric/bass, and in 2024 released another long player, 'Twelve', through Damaged Goods Records; a sort of 'best of' of the lo-fi years, remodelled and re-purposed for the new line-up.

          Currently, as well as gigging regularly as The Singing Loins, they also moonlight with Billy Childish as The North Kent Folkways Revival, who have collectively recorded another three albums, and also played a Riley & Coe BBC 6 Music session. This new mini-album, 'Camber '87', is a further progression. The lead track, 'Teeth & Eyes', is a new song; a pox-marked beauty. The other five are revisited versions of lo-fi original oldies, twisted and adapted to the new sound and line-up.

          The 5.6.7.8's Feat Miss Ludella Black

          Beat Girls EP

            The 5.6.7.8's are a Japanese rock band from Tokyo with a sound that draws heavily from 1960s Garage Rock, Rock'n'Roll, Surf, Rockabilly, Punk Rock, Psychobilly and Beat. They formed when Sachiko and Yoshiko "Ronnie" Fujiyama, two sisters from Tokyo who both shared a passion for rock and roll, founded the band in 1986 with two other members.

            After several line-up changes (including the bassist Yoshiko "Yama" Yamaguchi, who was the bassist featured in the Kill Bill movie), the band eventually became a trio. Yoshiko and Sachiko are still the main components in the band, and now Akiko Omo has rejoined the band as the bass guitarist (she originally joined The 5.6.7.8's in the early 1990s).

            The 5.6.7.8's and Miss Ludella Black (The Delmonas, Thee Headcoatees) have been friends for longer then they can remember, the band having a keen interest in the music from Medway, UK. Sharing stages throughout the years, across the land, in 2022, The 5.6.7.8's were joined by The Masonics on their five-night UK tour, with Miss Ludella Black joining both groups onstage too.

            During The 5.6.7.8's eight-night UK tour in 2024, not only did Miss Ludella Black join the band onstage at London's 229 venue, but they also booked into Medway's Ranscombe Studios to record four of their fave hits.

            This four-track 7" EP includes covers of The Pretty Things' 'Come See Me', Ray Charles' 'What I'd Say', John Barry's 'Beat Girl' and The Pretenders’ 'Kid'. Released in time for The 5.6.7.8's tour of France and Spain in October 2025, where they will play for thirteen nights!

            Cream Soda

            Serving You

              Cream Soda are a trio of late teens hailing from the Medway Delta, offering Punk Rocked Power Pop, fused with 60s Freakbeat and Garage, as well as the late 80s indie stuff.

              Respecting the past, with eyes firmly on the road ahead, they echo the classic Medway sound, respecting The Prisoners and Thee Milkshakes, whilst also incorporating more recent influences, along with their very own sound.

              The idea behind Cream Soda started in late October of 2023 when both the Toms, accompanied by one of Tom Page’s mates on bass, started playing original material in various garages after becoming acquainted through Music GCSE at Rainham Mark Grammar School, Medway. Due to creative disagreements, the bass player left and Jack - another one of Tom Page’s mates joined the band; a guitarist by trade but was happy to pick up the four-stringed instrument.

              Playing their first gig on 1st December 2023, Cream Soda have played throughout Kent, London and the South East since then, sometimes supporting The Masonics and The Len Price 3, and continue to make noise on stages wherever they can.

              The group released a very short run lathe cut 7" in December 2024, with only twenty copies; they naturally sold in a click. A four-track 7" EP, 'Make Up Your Mind', soon followed, to much acclaim.

              With the fire still burning very bright, they booked themselves back into Ranscombe Studios, and recorded a further ten tracks to battle up a full length album for release, with a little help from Zach Moon too. ‘Serving You’ provides fifteen of Cream Soda’s best bits!

              I-nichi

              I-nichi

                i-nichi is Tokyo-based singer and songwriter Seiko Nemoto, with UK-based accomplished musicians Billy Shinbone, Philip Collings and Ben Scott Turner joining her to form a full band.

                Seiko had previously come to the attention of UK audiences when her band Dai-Nichi supported The Chesterfields on tour in 2019, including a fantastic response at London's 100 Club, an experience Seiko could never have predicted when she started following The Chesterfields around the UK in the late 1980s when living in London.

                Seiko’s unique take on songwriting, coupled with a love of Captain Beefheart, Gang of Four, Devo and early UK prog rock has manifested itself previously in a limited edition 7 inch single, titled ‘Mimiko’, released in May ’24, with the help of Philip Collings in the studio, and Simon Barber (The Chesterfields) in observation mode.

                Now with added Billy Shinbone (Neville Staples Band, The Sinclairs, etc) on guitar and vocals, Philip Collings on bass guitar and Ben Scott Turner on drums, Seiko’s i-nichi has formed into a full band, for gigs and further recordings. With more stints in the studio, a further eleven tracks have been recorded, including three written though Seiko’s previous band, and two covers, with Seiko taking up the biggest writing credit. Produced and engineered by Ben Scott Turner at Axe & Trap Studio in Wells, Somerset, whilst observed by Simon Barber (The Chesterfields), i-nichi’s debut album is bound to cause a stir.

                Delicious Patricia

                Mordros - The Sound Of The Surf

                  Delicious Patricia are a trio who dig and play the combined Instrumental, Surf and Garage sound of yesteryear, often introducing it to the sound of today, and tomorrow too!

                  Delicious Patricia was the fevered dream brainchild of drummer Rob Smith, who, after years of playing in rock covers bands got an appetite for something else; a surf band! An ad found Simon Trundle (previously The Palominos) for shred guitar, and Tony O'Rourke (previously The Strookas) on bottom end bass.

                  Mordros - Cornish for 'the sound of the surf' is the debut album. It features fifteen tracks, seven of which are originals written by the band, with six covers with a twist.

                  Side One kicks off with 'Penetration' (The Pyramids) leading you on to 'Surfgasm' one of the bands own tunes. Some cleverly arranged TV and film theme covers follow with a version of label stablemate, Billy Childish's 'Poka Hontas' (featuring The Del Pats on vocals), sandwiched in between. Onto another of the band's own tunes 'Crashing Wave' before a nice bit of Dutch surf in the form of Focus' 'Hocus Pocus', ending with the mellow beach sounds of 'Moe-uhana', Hawaiian for soul sleep.

                  Side Two kicks off with sirens, shouting and warnings of getting 'Caught In A Rip', another of Delicious Patricia's own work. Surf's up with a cover of the 'White Horses' theme, the boys give us their version of Kraftwerk's 'The Model'. The band then hit you with two of their own, telling us that 'Patricia Don't Surf' and it's also 'Patricia's Last Wave'. There is a wiener in-between those two majestic buns, with a cool cover of The Astronauts' 'Hot Doggin'. The album then reaches its climax with a tune honouring Newquay's most famous wave 'The Cribbar'.

                    Comet Gain

                    Tickets To The Underneath EP

                      Over 30 years ago a secret cabal of rosicrucian dadaist anarchist magicians that had existed in the shadows of society for hundreds of years decided to spread their message through this groovy 'pop music' thing in order to reach the 'kids' and thus formed the organism known as Comet Gain.

                      Through a rigorous process of pulling names from a MAGICAL hat - it was thought that the best way to disseminate these esoteric messages was through the 45 seven inch record, and use a mixture of different cult musical forms to hopefully ensnare more youths - thus Indie Pop/Garage Punk/Northern Soul/Psychedelic Mod/Folk Rock etc were the templates best delivered.

                      Over the years the membership changed as 'musicians' either 'ascended' or mysteriously disappeared, but original member David Christian Feck (his real name is unknown) has remained.

                      This four-track 7" EP also features occasional traveller John McKeown (also known for his creations Yummy Fur/1990s/Trans etc), and current long-standing member Anne-Laure Guillain.

                      This most recent transmission from the 'cult' (even the band have no idea how many singles they've made, but its probably more than The Beatles, although slightly less successful) is largely songs considered for their new hit LP 'Letters To Ordinary Outsiders' (out now on Tapete Records), but due to that bloody magical hat again didn't make it, despite certain people saying 'but they're better songs you div!'.

                      There's also a new song that hatched out of a dream about cult American sci-fi/not sc-fi angry beatnik punk author Harlan Ellisson.

                      These songs vibrate with who gives a f***" energy as the cult organisation allowed the group to do as they wilt for one record. The fine fellows at Spinout Nuggets outbid all the other big labels at the big auction thing and will surely reap the rewards as these bullets of golden year melody and vibrant visceral OH YEAH! hit the top of the pops for all ages-lucky you to have this opportunity to be able to purchase this once in a lifetime slice of fabtitude.

                      The Guy Hamper Trio Feat. James Taylor

                      Mary Mary / Type 2 Error

                        The Guy Hamper Trio was formed by Billy Childish, after a chat with his friend James Taylor (Hammond organ). Billy and James had played respectively in The Milkshakes and The Prisoners, often sharing the same bill in the early 80's, leading to Billy's blues ensemble The Natural Born Lovers being the support act for the early shows of The James Taylor Quartet.

                        The Guy Hamper Trio is: Billy Childish on guitar, his wife Julie on bass and Wolf on drums - who as it happens was the drummer in the original incarnation of JTQ - and of course features James Taylor on Hammond organ. The Guy Hamper Trio provide a bottom end, Blues-influenced instrumental mayhem for those unafraid of dirt, germs and true grime. With no particular wish other than to be recognised as the best at playing badly, they refuse to obey the usual rules of combat and music.

                        Their first 45 (Polygraph Test / Sally Sensation) was released in 2009, followed by a full-length studio album, 'All The Poisons In The Mud', appearing, as if by magic, in 2022, followed by six 7" singles (via Damaged Goods and Spinout Nuggets), and also four further full-length albums.

                        This handsome record includes 'Mary Mary' on the opening face, with Face B including 'Type 2 Error'. Once again, after consultation with experts in the field, it was decreed that for the enjoyment of Mods, jive experts, lost revellers, and those prone to frequent discotheques, these tracks needed to be on a 7" single and made available throughout England, the UK, Europe, the USA, Indonesia and indeed Portsmouth.

                        The Masonics

                        Nothing' Shakin' But... EP

                          The Masonics are the Kings Of Medway Beat, known for being 'the best Rhythm and Beat combo since The Milkshakes', and there's a very good reason for that. With Mickey Hampshire (The Milkshakes, Mickey And The Salty Seadogs, Mickey And Ludella, Mick Hampshire), Bruce Brand (The Pop Rivets, The Milkshakes, Auntie Vegetable, Thee Headcoats, The Kravin' "A"s, The Clique, Dutronc, The Voo-Dooms and more) and John Gibbs (The Wildebeests, The Kaisers), this Medway-based trio fire rhythm 'n' beat and rock 'n' roll!

                          Since 1991, The Masonics have been raising roofs all across the land, and disturbing audio grooves on at least ten studio albums and eleven singles. There's no stopping them!

                          During 2022, the group joined The 5.6.7.8's on their five-night UK tour, and then again in October 2023 on a ten-night tour of Japan. Throughout all that, Spinout Nuggets have released three 7" EPs, a first-time-on-vinyl edition of their 'Outside Looking In' album (originally released on CD in 2004), a new studio album (Sursum Tibiam Vestram), and a joint 7" EP with The 5.6.7.8's.

                          The Masonics triumphantly return to the 7" format with two new extended players, released simultaneously. Following on from the success of the previous two Rock'n'Roll EPs, The Masonics unleash a further two extended players of dancehall fillers.

                            This second EP also includes four songs that the group have specially selected to cover for these, with shared vocals and noise, proving that there are no other guys...but The Masonics!

                            Only Messin' EP

                              James Taylor has been writing/recording albums and touring for the past 43 years, starting with The Prisoners and then The James Taylor Quartet (JTQ) from 1986 onwards, to great acclaim. Taylor was the pioneering force that spear-headed the Acid Jazz movement in the 90's, which saw a renaissance in live music. He has also virtually single-handedly driven the rediscovery of the Hammond organ, his trademark keyboard. He has developed his composition and arrangement skills and with these has recorded over 20 library albums.

                              The most recent of the library albums include the four tracks on this very EP, which feature Taylor's innovative horn arrangement skills, placing JB style horns over a funk groove, but in this case he had the novel idea of incorporating two guitars; one funky, one rocky. Sort of James Brown meets The Rolling Stones, and the result can be heard on this slab of vinyl.

                              The current live line-up for The James Taylor Quartet is James Taylor (keyboards and orchestration), Mark Cox (guitar), Andrew McKinney (bass) and Pat Illingworth (drums).

                              Bowerbirds And Blue Things

                                Jetstream Pony combine post-punk, indie-pop and power-pop, featuring Beth Arzy (The Luxembourg Signal/Trembling Blue Stars/Aberdeen) on vocals and percussion, Shaun Charman (The Wedding Present/The Popguns/The Fireworks) on guitar and vocals, Kerry Boettcher (Turbocat) on bass, Tom Levesley on drums, and recently joined by Mark Matthews (The Dentists/The Treasures Of Mexico) on guitar.

                                Returning with a new full length 'Bowerbirds and Blue Things', the band's evolution continues, and there are branches into new territory. 'The Relativity of Wrong' is driven by heavy bass, a tale of youthful misbehaviour, with guest vocals from Eleni Poulou, formerly of The Fall. 'Tendrils' has a darker presence, sung by Kerry, echoing and ghostly. 'Bonanza 2 Tango Sierra' and 'Look Alive!' both have a driving feel, and the power-pop is still intact with songs like 'Bubblegum Nothingness'. 'Bowerbirds And Blue Things' is a varied album that keeps the underlying Jetstream Pony sound, but with real development.

                                The Guy Hamper Trio Feat. James Taylor

                                The Goddess Tree

                                  The Guy Hamper Trio was formed by Billy Childish, after a chat with his friend James Taylor (Hammond organ). Billy and James had played respectively in The Milkshakes and The Prisoners, often sharing the same bill in the early 80's, leading to Billy's blues ensemble The Natural Born Lovers being the support act for the early shows of The James Taylor Quartet.

                                  The Guy Hamper Trio is: Billy Childish on guitar, his wife Julie on bass and Wolf on drums - who as it happens was the drummer in the original incarnation of JTQ - and of course features James Taylor on Hammond organ.

                                  The Guy Hamper Trio provide a bottom end, Blues-influenced instrumental mayhem for those unafraid of dirt, germs and true grime. With no particular wish other than to be recognised as the best at playing badly, they refuse to obey the usual rules of combat and music.

                                  This long playing record proves that The Guy Hamper Trio and James Taylor are a perfect team. The fourth in this ‘series’ of finely crafted compositions, listen out for several tracks also featuring Bash Brand and Tub Johnson as stand in rhythm section (in effect Thee Headcoats). Let’s hope there’s plenty more from the leaders in jazz/pop mayhem!

                                      Barry says: Not content with just releasing the thousands of great records of his you *can* get on vinyl, Childish is now blessing us with some of the rare 7's from The Chatham Singers project that you may not have heard. Expect attitude, swing and BLUES. Classic Childish.

The last word goes to Mister Childish; 'this 45 will almost certainly be much like the way we do things, and hopefully be in accord with the listeners expectations, (dependent on what it is that they expect)'.

                                            William Loveday Intention

                                            Secret Intention

                                              The William Loveday Intention is the latest incarnation of song and dance man Wild Billy Childish, who has been recording and performing since the 1977 Punk explosion; notably with The Pop Rivets, The Milkshakes, Thee Mighty Caesars, Thee Headcoats, The Buff Medways and CTMF, and many more!

                                              The 'intention' of The William Loveday group was to revisit some early tunes which Billy had imagined could be orchestrated.

                                              The Singing Loins

                                              Jazzy Angels

                                                Chris (Brod) Broderick & Chris (Arf) Allen started The Singing Loins as a stripped-down acoustic duo in 1990, with the aim of writing honest, bare songs, outside of any particular style, coining the phrase 'Authentic Raw Folk from the Medway Delta'. Their first two albums were recorded with Billy Childish and released on Hangman Records.

                                                Thee Headcoats

                                                Leaders Of The Sect

                                                  Thee Headcoats are arguably the most famous and influential of the many group incarnations that Billy Childish has formed or performed in since 1977. Cited in the New York Times - back in the day - as 'the undisputed kings of garage rock', Thee Headcoats rule (1989 - 2000) saw them as Childish's most prolific group - up until that time - releasing upwards of eighteen albums and over 45 singles. Thee Headcoats performed their last gig in 2000.

                                                  With a 'break' of twenty-two years, Thee Headcoats got together over a weekend earlier this year and recorded a brand new LP, a 45 and an EP. These being released through Damaged Goods Records.

                                                  Here, Spinout Nuggets comes into the picture. Having the ear of mister Childish, our executives convinced the Dearstalking Man to allow us access to the original tapes and can now proudly present a 45 from that same great session, allowing the listener an earhole of a 'Bona' alternative version of 'Leader Of The Sect', - complete with 'Round The Horns Sandy and Julian' on the intro (also listen out for Thee Headcoatees on backing vocals).

                                                  This is coupled with an unreleased rendition of 'Paralysed By The Mountains'. Our advice: don't hang about if you want this classic piece of wax spinning on your turntable, as Thee Headcoats' 45s don't go stale on the shelf. The Kids might be all Square, but this is HIP!

                                                              Wipeout was formed in 1976. Their legendary live performance at Chatham's Pentagon Shopping Centre in 1978 served as inspiration for many of the Medway-based bands that followed them - the gig being so well attended that many of the traders had to shut up shop early.

                                                              In 2021, members of Wipeout decided to get together to record a couple of new songs.The result has been recorded and laid onto two continuous grooves; with 'Miss Understood' being a bouncy stomper that will excite any dancefloor, and 'Rope Around My Neck' finishing the night off for the slow dance.

                                                              The Pastel Waves

                                                              Back In The Land Of The Living

                                                                The Pastel Waves are a Medway-based indie band who fuse their collective influences of New Wave, Indie and Brit Pop.

                                                                Their debut album 'All Things To All People' was released in March 2019 on Trouserphonic Records, with a follow-up digital single 'Ten', and the CD EP 'I Hate Myself For Wanting It' in May 2020.

                                                                In April 2021, the band released 'The Influencers EP' on vinyl via Spinout Nuggets, with four strong tracks, each receiving enough attention to force them to continue recording. Since release from lockdown, the band have a healthy live gig portfolio, and continue to write and record, and 'Back In The Land Of The Living' is a ten solid song long player which proves that the band aren't a one-trick pony.

                                                                The Chesterfields

                                                                Mr Wilson Goes To Norway

                                                                  Having just released a new single 'Our Songbird Has Gone' with Mr. Mellow's Music (28 years since their last record release), The Chesterfields are back with another single, this time a Double-A side featuring 'Mr Wilson Goes To Norway' (a follow up to 1987's 'Oh Mr. Wilson!'), with Simon on vocals, and 'Year On The Turn' on the flip, with Helen on vocal duties. These two tracks have been lifted from their forthcoming album 'New Modern Homes', which will follow in September, via Mr. Mellow's Music

                                                                  Thee Strawberry Mynde

                                                                  Lord I'm So Tired

                                                                    Thee Strawberry Mynde are a ModGarage/PowerPop band, who formed in the North East of England in the mid 90s when Paul Garner (vocals/guitar) & Mark 'Bazza' Barrett (bass) got together to make some noise after been introduced by a mutual friend. Both were big fans of the 60s American garage bands and wanted to put a band together to preach the gospel according to 'Pebbles'. Subconsciously the bands name was taken from a Robyn Hitchcock song.

                                                                    Sex And Flys

                                                                      Wild Billy Childish has been recording and performing since the 1977 punk explosion. The Pop Rivets, Thee Milkshakes, The Headcoats and The Buff Medways are just a few musical outfits that Billy has been involved with. Billy is also an internationally exhibited artist and poet. The William Loveday Intention is the latest incarnation. The groups name can be attributed to Billy's grandmother, Ivy Loveday, who registered his birth as William Ivy Loveday, with William being his great grandfather's name. The 'intention' of The William Loveday group was to revisit some early tunes which Billy had imagined could be orchestrated. This was the beginning of a 'career in a year' with over 14 LPs being recorded during the lockdown period at Jim Riley's Ranscombe Studios.


                                                                      Side A's 'Sex And Flys' is a complete make-over of the original Rhythm 'n' Punk track previously recorded by Thee Headcoats (which can be found on the 1996 long player 'In Tweed We Trust'). Side B's 'Becoming Unbecoming Me (Slight Return)' recounts the true-life story of a Jewish girls change of identity in war-time Venice to escape the death camps.

                                                                        Wild Billy Childish has been recording and performing since the 1977 punk explosion.

Billy's Grandfather was aboard HMS Thunderer. 'Scapa Flow' (not to be confused with the track of the same name by The Milkshakes) is an instrumental in honour of the home base of The Grand Fleet.

                                                                        Continuation

                                                                          The Mindreaders are Richard Ipaint on vocals and drums, Sexton Ming on vocals, sfx and guitar, and Russ Wilkins on vocals and guitar, with all three on songwriting duty. Formed in the wake of the Len Bright Combo, fans of The Pop Rivets, The Milkshakes, The Natural Born Lovers, Rocking Richard, The Delmonas, Auntie Vegetable, The Wildebeests and more will know all about them.

                                                                          Once Wreckless Eric decided to stop the Combo, both Russ and Richard wanted to continue with the sound they were enjoying, by recruiting a rhythm guitarist, and with a hundred guitarists to choose from in Medway, they turned to Sexton Ming. Russ had previously worked with him on other projects, and always admired his offerings. Their first LP, Ban The Mindreader, was released in 1987 on Russ' Empire Records label.

                                                                          Fast forward 30 years. Russ and Richard realised they only lived 25 miles apart in Scotland, and now, older and wiser, a connection was made with Sexton (now also much wiser) who wanted to do something dim and simple. A gig was arranged in Hastings which led on to more gigs, including 100 Club, Moth Club, Franklin Fest and more!

                                                                          They reconvened in a garage and recorded some songs over two days onto a Tascam 8 track, 1/2" recorder, playing whatever they felt worked, recording over twenty tracks. And here we have eleven of those recordings, provided to you in the way that The Mindreaders wanted. It's what all bands should do! Expect sonic Rhythm&Beat/GarageTrash/ Medway.........
