What the British & The Irish bring to the picnic....

[ourmaninthenorth]

Just an Englishman's eye view of what The British & The Irish have contributed to this great dodge we call Music over my listening lifetime.

Just random videos and clips, no order, no specific genres, just a bit of train of thought fun.

I'll keep it going, there's a bloody lot to go at.

Hope you enjoy.

Let's start with the great, great Rory Gallagher...1974 Irish Tour.

If this geezer isn't considered a National Treasure, he'll do until one turns up....

(Look for a quick glimpse of Robert Plant in the audience)

I said it last night to Paul ,Still today I feel fortunate to have this and many other British bands in my life , The Brits have such a sound its theirs they own it .

These British players & way to numerous to list got the ball rolling for this is why I try to master the guitar , at the aged 14 I was exposed Tull ,Clapton by my hip older sister . Some call it the British invasion what ever you label it its just the best in my book !

It's that very idea that's got me thinking. The British sound, a bugger to define, but impossible to deny.

After I've posted the first 500 videos, I hope the case for begins to take shape somewhat.

Absolutely one of the all time greats but as he was Irish I suspect he might have taken issue at being called British!

Whew...I'm glad someone else said this before I had to

So I better re-think me next clip then.

It was going to be Lightening Hopkins.

Finding me arse with both hands springs to mind.

Are Green Shield stamps OK for your refund Lads?

 

[goldtop0]

This'll be an ongoing tale Paul........... Sir Cliff couldn't do it but the Bottles did..........

And our mate Ren thought that Tull were from Aussie...............well I ask you

 

[Sol]

Green shield will do nicely. As you were... Carry on corporal..

 

[ourmaninthenorth]

Loved these from the first riff I heard at 12 years old...still do.
