Jamie Clarke's Perfect

[clarky]

Good to hear from you Jamie,not so good you no longer have The Byrds tapes,but it was 15 years ago,i taped them from the various Byrds albums that featured the late,great Clarence White.I have all those albums on cds now,featuring loads more Clarence.I was [and still am]the boring old fart that used to follow the Pogues all over the place,i did all but one of those gigs on that tour of Nederland in 1995.The last time i saw you was at the last Pogues gig in that room over the Boston Arms in Tufnell Park,when i finish this message i think you might just about remember me.I know you was never a lover of footie,so my user name has probably washed over you....remember know?JohnMcGovern of Brum currently in ST.JOHNS Newfoundland--no more clues Jamie.All the best

i thought i might be you - but was unsure ! yes - i remember you John....the man with the train timetables !!

what are you doing in New Foundland ?

What are you doing ?

do you go on the re-union tours ?

Do you speak to Frank at all ?

what about those Byrds cds ahain, then ?


take care and nice to hear from you cheers jc

Mr.Clarke,greetings once again from the Mr.Traintimetable man,i am in ST.JOHNS,my fourth visit in 3 years,which is amazing because the first trip very damned near killed me---long story.This is a brilliant place,TERRY and Philip toured played in Newfoundland with the Mahones a few years ago.Yes i still go and see the Pogues and hopefully will see them on foreign soil for the first time since July 1996 Ghent, Belgie.The POGUES would go down a storm if they played here,they are probably the one band that most people here would want to see,i have met several fans who have had to fly to New York or Boston in order to see the Pogues,i can relate to that.Great music scene here,a lot of Irish influenced stuff and in some cases Newfoundland music influenced the Irish.The song SONNYS DREAM made famous by Christy Moore,Dolores Keane/Mary Black/Emmylou was written by RON HYNES , a great singer-songwriter,storyteller who hails from ST.JOHNS via Ferryport.The big success story from these parts is GREAT BIG SEA who have been performing their brand of Folk,rock and general mayhem since the early 90s,a very early line up was virtually a Pogues tribute act called Rankin Street.Othere bands worth checking out include The Punters,Navigators,The Irish Descendents,oops i am dragging on a wee bit here.So how goes it with your band?i purchase your album from Amazon for the princely sum of one penny plus postage!Dont spend all the royalties at once,you shuld be able to get hold of that Byrds stuff,but i could always get copies to you[not tapes though ,unless you still want tapes]Thats all for now Jamie,you can email me at john.mcgvrn@googlemail.com,its pissing down here hence the rather long message.Good luck. JMG
