[kj] Best Gig*(After 91) [Webcore]

[folk devil]

Not familiar with the Oroonies, but also have fond memories of Club Dog, AND the Robey, or the old ropey as it was lovingly called.
Is the Robey still there?

I remember Webcore - a great band – I’ve some fond memories of Club Dog nights at the George Robey !!
I recently transferred my Webcore vinyl to CD – can’t see them ever getting an official CD release, sadly..
Paul Chousmer also played keyboards with Fields of the Nephilim on the Elizium tour, as I recall
Does anybody else remember the Oroonies ?

They were an incredibly underrated band! :)
Here's some info/mythology?
 
Webcore formed in Cornwall in 1984 and lasted until 1987(8/9?). They released several self-released cassettes, 2 LP’s and 2 12”s through Jungle Records. 

Cassettes: Cinematography (A Real Kavoom ARK 4) 1984 
The Great Unfolding (A Real Kavoom ARK 16) 1986 
Consider The River (M.E.L.T. Music) 1987 
12”: The Captain’s Table (Jungle/A Real Kavoom JUNG 30T/ARK23) 
Running for the Precedent (JUNG 34T/ARK25) Both 1987 
Albums: Webcore (FREUD16/ARK27) 1987 
Webcore Webcore (FREUD22/ARK32) 1988 

Mick West - Vox 
Phil Pickering - Bass 
Paul Chousmer - Keys 
Clive Goodwin - Guitar - later became Ozric tentacles sound engineer 
Colin Woolway - Drums 
Nick Van Gelder - Drums - had played with the Ozric tentacles earlier-went on to Jamiroquai 
Dan Carpenter - Sax occasionally 
Mike ??? - left to join a monastery 
Jackie Hannah - backing vox 
Karen Kay - backing vox 

Webcore were co-founders of the event ‘Alice in wonderland’ with the Ozric Tentacles, in the late eighties. Paul Chousmer & Dan Carpenter later did chillout rooms for London based events and venues such as Club Dog, the Deptford Crypt, and later Whirly-Gig and Return to the Source, under the name ‘Another Green World’ during the early to mid-nineties.

A few more to add from earlier times :
 
Elephant Fayre at St Germans in Cornwall was my festival (same as Jane) – NMA were on before KJ – it was peeing it down but me & Fuzz blagged a fanzine interview so spent some time in the backstage tent/s !
