88 BAM

I'll be putting some of the cuttings for this lot on soon. Here's a few old pics to keep you going. Stop that sniggering at the back of the museum ;)

A Little Message From Meeeeeeeeeeeee

I've had some interesting letters from some nice people...concerning the MedMusMus...including some updated news from Lee Pattison from Dymaxion...who tells me that he's the only band-member still active in the music scene. I'm asking Lee to forward me some more detail as he said he has some more info including some magazine articles from around the time he played in front of Gary Numan himself. I'm looking forward to that and I shall no doubt be sniffing out some of Lee's up-to-date material.
Lee also gave me some more info on the John's Best Girl and Better Than Sex bands...reminding me that they were totally seperate bands...one fronted by Garrick and the other by Stuart....which OMG...leads me onto a band called 88 Bam...who are also linked. Incestuous Medway, eh? I'll be up-dating soon.

An 80's follower of Medway Music....named Jane Price...has also commended the worth of 88 Bam to me with a particularly eloquent letter regarding the 80's Medway Scene. I do have some 88 Bam cuttings...so I'll give them a page...starting with two very "of the time" photographs that Jane has sent to me.

So...keep sending those bits and bobs in...and let's unravel some mysteries...and find out what some of these bands and acts are doing now.

Dean Hammond

Dean was always a lot of fun. I don't know where he is now or what he's up to....so give him a nod if you see him.

Many apologies for the quality of the cutting. This is in a book I rescued fromthe shed....a very spooky place for old cuttings to resides.

If anyone knows any songs about old sheds...please get in touch ;)
I'M ONLY JOKING !!!!

Godfish

Here's an interesting little piece I dragged up on The Godfish. I'll need to find out more about them but the Andy in question in the headline...though bizarrley not in the picture...is our fine musician, Andy White. I'm going to find out if there are any old Godfish recordings about....wish me luck.
Whilst I wait for my net to fill with scraps of Godfish...I'll leave you with this thought. Fish is supposed to be brain food, yeah? People tend to eat it a lot on a Friday...agreed? So why do they do the most stupid things over the weekend? Answers on a coastguard.........

More Billy Childish

The Immaculate Fools

This bunch obviously deserve a mention :)

More of The Dentists

I'd still say that The Dentists are my joint-favourite ever Medway band...sharing the crown with the disgustingly brilliant Cenet Rox....led by the very talented Nic Hughes.
