\"QUIMS<\/a><\/p>\n

Jez had been holding a dream for some time to form a QUIMS Supergroup. \u00a0He had pitched the idea before only to be knocked back due to the apparent complexity of the idea. \u00a0Basically everyone would nominate their singer, guitarist, bass player, drummer and other band members, bringing a playlist along with an example of their nominees\u2019 work. \u00a0Then on the night, we would all vote for our faves and hey presto, the ultimate QUIMS Supergroup would be formed.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Well we finally went for it. \u00a0Jez hosted in Ilkley and invited a number of the QUIMS Ilkley branch along too. \u00a0So we had Bob, John F, Roger (although he brought no music\u2026 again), Simon P, Jez, Matt and Simon E, Gary and Duncan from Ilkley.<\/p>\n

The compulsory categories were vocals, guitar, bass and drums and we also pitched in for a selection of other members of the band such as gust vocalist, keyboards, samples, Svengali producer and Bez. \u00a0Well I mean every Supergroup ought to have a Bez. \u00a0Despite no name as yet – I proposed \u201cAudacious Q\u201d, nor what songs they might play (the entire back catalogue of AC\/DC, perhaps?), the backbone of the group was voted for using a single transferrable voting system, much to the bemusement of everyone except chief (and only) scrutineer Jez, who occasionally proclaimed things like, \u201cIt\u2019s a close call between Johnny Marr and Thurstan Moore\u201d and \u201cClem Burke has just been eliminated!\u201d.<\/p>\n

Anyhoo, whilst a minor case of death does preclude one member of the band from actually performing\u2026 here it is, the official line up of the Ultimate QUIMS Supergroup:<\/p>\n

Vocals: David Byrne<\/em> (a runaway winner on the first round of voting)
\nGuitar: Thurstan Moore<\/em> (beating Johnny Marr into a close second place)
\nBass: Tina Weymouth<\/em> (Talking Heads are doing really rather well)
\nDrums: Stewart Copeland<\/em> and John Bonham<\/em> (inseparable even after three rounds of voting)<\/p>\n

Guests may include: Sufjan Stevens (banjo), Keith Relf (deceased, harmonica), John Cale (electric viola) and Huun Huur Tu (throat singing), and of course Bez, well there is really only one of those, but Danbert got nominated for his role at the Chumba’s farewell gig as chief cocktail maker.<\/p>\n

Not sure who might produce this masterpiece ensemble: Brian Eno, Lee \u2018Scratch\u2019 Perry and Rick Rubin were all suggested. \u00a0Let\u2019s give it to Rick on the basis of the beard.<\/p>\n

As one commentator observed, \u201cIt will happen, it\u2019s just a matter of when\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
