rory gallagher - banker's blues

Three pages in and not a showband in site. So...
Billy Brown and the Freshmen- "Never heard anything like it".
Their gorblimey awful punk record. Braver souls might want to find their New Romantic offering "Abandon Chip" too.

" I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"

While I'm at it does anyone remember a Galway band called Toasted Heritic, seen them play at The Fleadh once and and was really impressed, remember them getting a couple of good write ups in the music press in London but they seemed to fade into nothing after that.
Where am I now? I'm over here,
I've got those empty pockets and I can't afford a beer.
Yeah great band i just couldn't think of any of the titles but yeah they were very good indeed.

Not long ago, an indian sat with his family, thinking, in the bosom of his family - ah pioneers.
'Food for breakfast' and 'Unrealistic' which I still have somewhere on a compilation are the only ones that I can think of. Spark any memories?
