Gary Revilo’ s Gigs. Live reviews from Record Collector. The History of Thieves Like Us. Gary Revilo’ s Gigs. Quiffs intact. Graham Nash played an unamplified acoustic guitar. Schöningen, Germany (several times). Unfeasible trousers but great R and B. We sat on chairs positioned round the edge of the dancefloor and didn’ t dare ask anyone to dance. TJ, a black American organist, played in the same club every night for a month. He claimed to have written Night of a Thousand Dances . Wynder K. Frogg. They ...

Gary Revilo’ s Gigs. Live reviews from Record Collector. The History of Thieves Like Us. March 27, 2012. July 25, 2016. I m going to try to give an idea of what it s really like coping with sxsw. You’ ll probably find the detail wearisome and you’ ll probably be disgusted by some of the music. I have very Catholic tastes. But when I am too old and knackered to do it any more, maybe I’ ll read this back and wallow in the memories. My friend Paul was waiting at the airport and we headed straight for the Co...

Gary Revilo’ s Gigs. Live reviews from Record Collector. The History of Thieves Like Us. Bob Frank and John Murry. May 24, 2015. Bob is resolutely laid-back about the project. “ It was John ’s idea to write the songs but we wrote them together. John is the creative impetus, hell, he came up with all the instrumentation, he even did all the design work. If I hadn’ t met this guy, it would never have happened. ”. Live music in Winchester.

Gary Revilo’ s Gigs. Live reviews from Record Collector. The History of Thieves Like Us. April 23, 2015. July 25, 2016. I can’t wait for self-driven cars to become a reality. Sadly, I fear I won’t live long enough to see the day when they will be safe enough to be unleashed on the roads, but even if I do, we can assume they will be priced to be accessible only to the super rich. 8220;What does it feel like? 8221; people ask. In a kind way, they try to empathize. But they can’t imagine what ...I literally...

Gary Revilo’ s Gigs. Live reviews from Record Collector. The History of Thieves Like Us. October 21, 2013. July 15, 2015. Thinking of writing a novel? You know that old cliché about everyone believing they have a novel in them? Well, I ’m a writer of educational resources but I’ d always wanted to have a go at a novel. Faced with a very daunting birthday, I suddenly realised I ’d better get on with it before it was too late. But how do you write a novel? I had no ideas for plot, genre or style. So off I ...

Gary Revilo’ s Gigs. Live reviews from Record Collector. The History of Thieves Like Us. Looking After Mr Baker. May 25, 2013. July 9, 2015. Well, I ’d seen and loved Cream, kept abreast of his famously dissolute lifestyle, worshipped his drumming and read the autobiography. It was going to be a doddle, a privilege, and fun. And obviously very concerned about Ginger ’s welfare. All of them exuded concern that nothing should happen which could upset him. No, but a coffee would be nice. I went and made...

Gary Revilo’ s Gigs. Live reviews from Record Collector. The History of Thieves Like Us. July 15, 2015. July 15, 2015. In the traditional attempt to find a new approach to reviewing sxsw, here’s an artist-by artist list of everyone we saw, in chronological order. This was within 45 minutes of landing at Austin Bergstrom airport. Quiet Life, from Portland, Oregon, entertained a range of families in a clothes shop. Only in Austin. This involved a long walk, but I had a hankering for some nice melodic post-...

Gary Revilo’ s Gigs. Live reviews from Record Collector. The History of Thieves Like Us. January 19, 2014. July 15, 2015. Dozing by your own pool as the monkeys gambol round you, or swimming in the azure Caribbean Sea by a deserted beach. It sounds impossible, or at least hopelessly expensive. But we ve found a way to do it. Needless to say, nightlife is not a feature of Nevis, but here are lots of fabulous places to eat. Our favourite is Sunshine’s, a wooden beach bar on the glorious Pinney &#...Faceboo...

Gary Revilo’ s Gigs. Live reviews from Record Collector. The History of Thieves Like Us. January 16, 2012. February 3, 2016. I thought. I ’d left Birgit on her own to go shopping in Kingston. Would she be all right too? The next evening, we set out to find a particular music bar recommended in the guide book, and got completely and utterly lost. No one seemed keen to help us as we wandered along increasingly deserted and badly-lit streets. Was this a sensible thing to do in a city like Kingston? 8221;The...

Gary Revilo’ s Gigs. Live reviews from Record Collector. The History of Thieves Like Us. A Tribute To Ian McLagan. December 6, 2014. July 25, 2016. When Billy introduced the band and revealed that it was Ian McLagan, the drunk bloke next to me almost had a heart attack. What? That’ s Ian McLagan? Scrappy looked around the classic UK boozer he’ d just played in and replied, I think he ’d love it here . Well, they were a lot more expensive than any band I ’d booked before and I’ d been spooked ...I ’...
