[Rob Horan]

cheers Paul, have enjoyed this thread over the past 6 weeks as haven't
been able to go to any of them despite living about 3 miles from the
venue......btw there's a review in this month's Mojo.

Small venues all the way, i'd imagine.  Good.
 
The music Carbon Silicon is writing is like early Clash.  They are their
own record label and they give the songs away online.  They like people
bootlegging concerts.  They have a tiny industrial unit recording studio
in Acton.  Its all back to the start.

The Inn on the Green is an intimate little place with a 12 inch high
stage.  To be right on top of them is brilliant.  Some of the guitar
work I have seen executed right in front of me...The years have been
kind.

But more than that, it means that the people who truly, genuinely love
Mick Jones can see him closer than the big-venue/stadium days of the
Clash ever allowed.  Everyone I spoke to just wants to be in the same
room as him, and we often are.  Its love, you know.  Mick never stops
giving it 10/10 to people.  Old Jaz sounds a bit unfortunate to
encounter but Mick's been great in the flesh.  Just some ol' geezer from
the Manor.  
 
I never thought i'd be moved to see him with glasses on, reading poetry.
The support acts can be really good.  Mick singing Should I stay or
should I go with teenagers probably still in school whose parents I got
talking to.  (Jaz singing Wardance with some Girl Guides?  Er...)

local club...

		Last Friday Uncle Mick had his Yeti coated henchman and
son of some famous old guitarist bring back every support act thats been
on so far, for two songs.  One acoustic guitarist and singer was great,
if only I could remember his name.  Mick came on and played guitar with
one outfit.  
		 
		Pete Wylie guested and was a breath of Scouse air for
me, an expat of Liverpool these 20 odd years...(Did I tell you I was a
Scouser?  Gi's yer money - now.)
		
		An element at the front decided they were 20 to 30 years
younger than they now are, and were pushing everyone everywhere.  The
rest of us were as old as we are now, and objected.  The bouncers had to
deal with that hand to hand in the crowd.  Yet another wierd woman
turned up, touching Mick, knocking the mike stand over and being
eliminated by the worlds friendliest bouncers (They are, they're great)
whom she was thoroughly rude to.  I reckon its the Notting Hill Housing
trusts fault for harbouring an army of our generation who did too much
of 'something' and spent the rest of their lives recovering.  
		 
		Then Mick Jones takes them back in time, and out they
come to the gig.  Stoned, drunk, and wierd.  
		 
		Apart from that, Mick read some Merseybeat poems
(Yessss) and we all had a laugh.  Great!  the Carbon Silicon sets are
getting tighter and more streamlined, probibly due to their month tour
in the USA in March so far less of the brilliant rock n roll moments
between Tony James and Mick on their Gibson/hollow bodied Telecaster.  
		
		Last one this Friday.  
		

		Keep Smiling...
