I remember that Sparks did a show, and Richard & Linda Thompson, and Bowie... Ian Dury too, who played a very eclectic mix of things including Prince Buster, music hall, and (I think) Roland Kirk.Steviehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03994410601941275489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15815883.post-71703852897451291222010-03-23T01:58:18.197-07:002010-03-23T01:58:18.197-07:00I have of late been playing a lot of Ian Dury'...I have of late been playing a lot of Ian Dury's music. I still find so much of it highly intelligent and so very funny. His cockney persona fed you a stereotype that was almost instantly underlined by his songs until you really listened to them that is.<br /><br />I have a couple of Charlie Gillett's books, ones published in the seventies. He is another irreplaceable character and another from a truly golden age of 'pop music'.Russell CJ Duffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00519621428036481426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15815883.post-46396135707889443882010-03-22T09:21:01.603-07:002010-03-22T09:21:01.603-07:00Thanks David and Nick.

I had an old reel to reel and miked it up to the speaker of a very old valve radio in my studio/prefab I had at the time in Stepney. I used to paint and listen to Honky Tonk at the same time with my finger poised over the pause button if ever the conversations went on too long and for editing out the weather and traffic reports etc. Sometimes I had to go and answer the door or mix some paint etc. and forgot it was on pause and missed big chunks of the show! happy days!<br /><br />I will uplaod a couple more shows at the end of the week if i get time.<br />Although Charlie may not have enjoyed the vast majority of punk he did find it fascinating and even had guests like Jello Biafra on - also one of the very few DJ's at the time to play the Sex Pistols.Wastedpapiershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06833050707322694789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15815883.post-35011754338982071522010-03-22T09:01:52.051-07:002010-03-22T09:01:52.051-07:00I went to the Guildford Civic Live Stiffs show in ...I went to the Guildford Civic Live Stiffs show in October 1977, so it's interesting to hear Ian and Charlie mentioning it as a forthcoming gig a couple of times.<br />Although Charlie plays a Blondie track during the show, he's clearly not a fan of the wider punk movement. Ian seems move enthusiastic though ('I'm a punk').<br />Would be great to hear other Honky Tonk shows, if you have time to upload them. <br />I did once have a tape of Charlie's encounter on Honky Tonk with the stars of the follow-up 1978 Be Stiff tour, but seem to have lost it. I also had a tape of Charlie interviewing Curtis Mayfield, but edited out all of the talking so that I just had a compilation tape of music.

Thanks also for the date Nick - I was pretty lax about adding exact dates on my cassette sleeves, sometimes not even putting the year! <br />Very annoyed with myself now that I actually edited out all the conversations on lots of those old shows when I recorded them onto reel to reel in the early days.<br />I still have a couple more full shows of Honky Tonk though of Errol Dixon and Rico Rodriguez and will hopefully share those at some point.Wastedpapiershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06833050707322694789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15815883.post-91061810987466374462010-03-21T15:56:51.565-07:002010-03-21T15:56:51.565-07:00Presumably this 1977 edition of Honky Tonk was bro...Presumably this 1977 edition of Honky Tonk was broadcast on Sunday October 30th? It appears to have been recorded between the Guildford Civic Hall and Lyceum Stiff tour dates mentioned in the interview. <br />A fascinating exchange between two greats.
