Just released the second track from my Places in Time album. With concept in 2007, first track in 2009 and second track in 2013 this is clearly a slow burner.

Steel Town Revisited, Remixed, Remastered.
I’m remastering the original cast recording of Steel Town. Also there are demos, poems, live cuts & unreleased tracks. http://steeltown.co.uk
Apart from the songs featured in the show there is a wealth of related material including oral history recordings. This will take a little while and in order to accommodate the inevitable cast of thousands I’ve set up a web page to accommodate all this info at http://steeltown.co.uk/revisited.html.

Another Shared Posting
The shared posting feature with Blogger and Google + was a bit odd just now so I’ll try again now.
Google+
Right, I’ve hooked my Blogger account to my Google+ account so I wonder what will change.

How I Gave Venom The Devil
This article is taken from a story I wrote ages ago called “Remembering the Eighties”. The 80’s story was originally commissioned by a website called “Metal Godz”. The site is long gone and my eighties article remains unfinished and unpublished.
During all the recording sessions for Neat Records we had the assistance of Conrad Lant. Conrad was a good tape op and got on well with everyone. He was always going on about his own band. It seemed that they saved up for about 3 months until they could afford enough pyrotechnics to blow up half a city and then they had a major blow out and had to save up to do another show. Conrad said very little about the music, it was mostly about the explosions. One day he informed me that the bass player had quit and he was being called upon to play bass. A gig was imminent so I loaned him my Gibson EB3 I still had from my own early career. Conrad could barely contain himself seeing all these bands make recordings. He wanted his band committed to tape too. We had a slack day coming up so I relented and said he could bring his band in during down-time. Again I loaned him the bass. I produced three tracks with them but the only title I remember was “In League With Satan”. I taught the guys a musical trick sometimes called “The Devil”. Theoretically known as the “tri tone” it is a very discordant combination of two notes and I thought it would be most effective in their music. Say you were playing a G, the tri tone from that would be C#. At high volume it sounded horrible and they loved it. I had no idea these tracks would come out as a single, I just produced it as a favour. Now Conrad was convinced he was on the way to mega stardom and in need of a bass so I let him talk me into selling him my EB3. I explained the history of the instrument and made him promise it was going to a good home. The next time I saw my old bass it had holes drilled in it and an upside down crucifix nailed crudely to it. My bass was now a mess and Conrad had become Chronos!
