I would love to hear Young Ned played live. I wonder if either Spider or Phil can do it justice if Terry can no longer sing.

I was bit put off by the second show on the 9th. With Shane being totally wasted.
But the band was still great. Maybe they should have played without Shane. Spider and Mr Chevron did a great job on the vocals.



does terry ever do vocals anymore? he did star of the county down for a couple of years there. is young ned... ever performed anymore? and what about streets of sorrow/ birmingham 6? or is that a bit too controversial? one last question, it is terry who sings jesse james on rum sodomy and the lash, isn't it?


Terry used to sing Young Ned of the Hill live.

I seem to remember reading somewhere on these pages some time ago that Terry no longer sings for health reasons, his doctor has advised him to rest his voice.

I also recall Philip mentioning on this forum that Streets of Sorrow/Birmingham Six is no longer included as part of the set ever since the Six were freed, the song having now achieved its aims.

Andrew Ranken, who drums, sang that on record and live.

That's a Spider Stacy vocal performance.

Ahh, so that's what happened to Shane!!



Yes it was our fault :oops:

No seriously, Shane was already very very drunk when we arrived and often a sleep. He had probably been up all night since gig the day before. Obviously great to finally meet Shane but it could have been at a better time. Laughed like hell to what he answered Maureen when she thought the coffemachine at the bar was Shane laughing.

-What fucking coffemachine? This is an Irish bar!


Haha ! Shane the coffee machine ! Sounded so much like him !

He'd had quite a few hours sleep the night before - he slept on his bed with Noel Kenny. The next day they both woke up at exactly the same time and looked into each others eyes and went "Arrrggghhh" with shock ! :shock:

How does one manage to mispronounce "David"? That's crazy.

Alas no. He just makes sure we are amply supplied with toys; and stages ad hoc exhibitions of his artwork installations in the Catering room.

He has been known to turn people away from the backstage area of David Bowie shows if they are unable to pronounce the star's name correctly.

Thanks, Natalie! :)


That's Jos Grain, not Joey Cashman.


Jos is also responsible for the infamous Iggy Pop and The Stooges concert rider, which can be found here:

Monitor Requirements... For the sidefills, can we have two great big huge enormous things please, of a type that might be venerated as gods by the inhabitants of Easter Island, capable of reaching volumes that would make Beelzebub soil his underpants, and driven by amplifiers that could provide the power for a Monster Truck Rally. With dinosaur drivers.

Nice photos, indeed. I particularly like the look on James' face watching Shane propped up by Mr Cashman... 8)

:oops: color me embarrassed. I even took a look through the fora photos of Joey to make sure. I was so sure it was him....

Jos, is of course, the phenomenally good-looking and preternaturally talented instrument tech and roadie who makes the whole show possible. My apologies for confusing him with the equally talented, but not nearly as attractive, Mr Cashman.
