d Thairs driving drums and Ali Friends sublime double bass stealing the show. We stepped out of the club and into 1996 feeling on a real high.

Unfortunately, by 1997 we were going through a prolonged and agonising break up and I was at an all time low. In an attempt to cheer me up, Sledge took it upon himself to take me to Glastonbury what a guy! I know I wasnt much company that week end I remember lying in my tent, staring up at the canvas for hours not being able to sleepjust worried, with a stomach churning will-she-wont-she type scenario going over and over in my mind.I was a real mess – but knowing there are people like Sledge looking out for you is what keeps you going.

Anyway, Beth Orton played in the Acoustic tent that year. Shed appeared on a Red Snapper single before she had a recording contract and Ali Friend played (double) bass on her wonderful Trailer Park LP. Ali Friend was also her (double) bass player live so we had to go see her. I fell in love with her day. So bright and sunny and obviously getting off on it all she knocked me off my feet for a while.

All of her songs resonated with how I was feeling. The chorus to Someones Daughter particularly stuck with me that day and its still my favourite of hers

I want to laugh about it, but I dont joke about it
Want to live without it, but I cant do without it Continue reading →

Angst ridden, guitar sodden, bass heavy, hilarious conversational lyrics what more could a young man want! Lead singer and weddoes mainman David Gedge became an indie hero. This band did everything right. Continue reading →
