Diesel Park West made at least a couple of albums I really rate, the first, and Decency. Anthemic stuff.
DeleteDPW, and Jon Butler solo, shoulda been huge. All their albums are lost classics.
DeleteI’ve loved DPW’s music since the day I bought their first album in Virgin Records, Birmingham on the day it was released.
When I moved to their hometown decades ago, I was delighted to find that the main men, Jon Butler & Rick Willson, would regularly play their vast repertoire of Byrds / Moby Grape / Love songs around the city pubs – one free lunchtime gig in The Wellington basement bar (long gone) is lodged in my memory forever, mainly for their note-perfect rendition of "Eight Miles High".
Turns out a girl I worked with was friends with Rick Willson and she mentioned one day that when the band wasn’t working he would earn a bit of money as a painter / decorator.
Many years later I got a call one evening from a friend saying I should get up to our local pub asap as the band playing was tremendous. It was Rick's brother, Danny Willson’s bar band – The Cheeze – who play local gigs when he isn’t doing other things.
Rick and Danny were once in a band called Kipper (you can find them on YouTube) before Danny joined Showaddywaddy for some years before becoming guitarist in Martin Turner’s Wishbone Ash!
One of the people I was with at the pub knew the bass player and whilst chatting in the break he mentioned that Danny sometimes did a bit of painting & decorating between musical adventures!
(I’m pretty sure I’m not making this up.)
So, putting 2 + 2 together = the Willson Brothers have a sideline as decorators whilst they wait for stardom to arrive. Which it should have – they are both hugely talented musicians.
Anyway, it greatly amuses me that there may be people around Leicester who’ve had their lounge decorated, without knowing by two lads who have toured the world with DPW, Showaddywaddy and MT’s Wishbone Ash. And The Cheeze.
Here's some Moby Grape: https://youtu.be/HRB7k90mUTc
Cheers, Peanuts Molloy.
Not sure if there's any Beach Boys / Brian Wilson fans around here Farqs but I've just remembered I have a "12 incher" disc of cover versions by DPW which kicks off with a nice (maybe a little heavy handed) version of "God Only Knows", available to all on You Tube.
DeleteCheers, Peanuts Molloy.
And finally (I'll shut up now), I forgot to post some Cheeze:

My Boy Lollipop is a great record. Here's my Millie "brushed with stardom" story:
DeleteI saw Millie tumble out of Padgets record shop in Oswestry in 1964, low-fiving folk as she passed through the throng of twenty or so fans on her way to the car that would whisk her off to her next Shropshire shop. I was a shy 13 year old and not bold enough to extend a hand so as she passed by she sort of hit me in the stomach instead.
Regretably, you can’t sell a punch on Ebay.
Cheers, Peanuts Molloy.

ReplyDeleteThis afternoon (3:00 pm our time) the Miss' and I got up both nursing a hangover. Our friend Black Sea Bart came by and we had a hoedown. That man breaks out the balalaika and the next thing you know it's 6am and the sun is filtering through an empty vodka bottle...well maybe two, truth be told. He's sleeping soundly in the barn - the man believes beds aren't for him. The Miss' is making something called a собачья шерсть (I know - gesundheit) , and I am joining in with with you fine folk and my electronic players selections...not good for a hangover, but peppy all th' same.
