My son, who's a musician, was sifting through my battered vinyl collection, not that long ago, and out came their album, which I'd bought, straight after seeing them at a North London pub (think it was the Torrington in Finchley), as an impressionable teenager.

Hey Jim, just subscribed! I've now watched a few of your videos, so will now catch up with all of them. Totally wonderful and so much great stuff. Did you ever get to know the great Ken Whaley, who played bass with Help Yourself and Man? He loved "The Only Ones" and he told me that he used to see them when he was on the door for The Hope and Anchor. I saw Supercharge just before lockdown in a small venue on the dock road in Liverpool, plus two of the brass section playing in a local "supergroup" busking in Liverpool at the end of lockdown. All money raised went to help a community group to feed kids from poor backgrounds. Total stars in my estimation. Keep up the great work.

Goodbye to Love has a great solo, so unexpected on a Carpenters tune. I tried to work it out at the time. Squeeze started as a pub band, but I wouldn't categorise them as underrated, they made it pretty big, not quite as big as Elvis Costello, but up with Graham Parker and the Rumour and Joe Jackson from that era. A few years ago Glen did a collaboration with my favourite 80s pub band Nine Below Zero culminating in the album The Co-operative, that is underrated.

Yes Jim! At last: Howlin Wilf and the Vee Jays gets a bit of credit. James was (and is) one of the best harmonica players I ever heard with a beautiful soulful voice and they were a great little band to boot. Saw them many times back in the eighties, still play the cassette recording of their live set on GLR, still love that eponymous first album, fondly remember the gigs (every time James introduced the song 'Delilah' he had to explain it was 'not that one!') He certainly was a 'Brown eyed handsome man'. Boz Boorer did demos for Chrysalis, did two tracks for a band of mine once which were eventually given to Island Records for some reason (they hated them) nice bloke, even after he joined Morrissey's band. I once saw Jamie, the double bass player, busking in Plaza Real in Barcelona, another nice bloke. Saw Tommy Chase once or twice too. Brutal little drummer! Thanks for the memories Jim.

I agree with Jim. Pub rock (in my opinion) was a kind of pivotal point in "rock" culture. There was a schism between what many of the original "prog" inspired musicians who had good intentions desired and a feeling of dis-enchantment from working class kids who thought that "musicianship" was only for the "posh". I grew up in a very working class environment and used to see NF grafitee scrawled on walls at the time. I hated it and was repulsed. Pub rock was, for me, a kind of bridge between being working class and dis-liking intolerance. Hope this makes sense!

That was a weird bill to say the least! Sounds to me like it might have been a showcase for Virgin Records. Back in 1975, very few bands went on stage (especially at out-of-the-way places like the John Bull) and put as much energy into their music as Supercharge did that first night. The bands who did (Dr Feelgood, Eddie & The Hot Rods and so on) tended to stand out from the herd. I believe 'She Moved The Dishes First' was created to create space on stage when a guitarist needed to change a string and so on. It became an audience favourite and caught on, despite the slightly dodgy word. (It was a different time!) Cheers!

James Hunter - Jimmy to his friends in those days, not Neil, from what l remember - used to come and see my old band, Automatic Slim, at gigs in Colchester and north Essex. He would’ve been about 16 or 17 then and he would sidle up to me and ask if l had any old harmonicas he could have! Mean bastard that l was back then, I think l gave him a couple of broken ones from the bottom of my cable trunk. 😮 Next time l saw him was a couple of years later when l was mixing sound for a rock’n’roll gig in Maldon, by which time he’d reinvented himself as a very convincing leather-trousered reincarnation of Gene Vincent. You couldn’t take your eyes off him! Then a couple of years after that, l turned on the Tube and there he was - as Wilf. An amazing talent - in a world of mediocre talents I always reckoned Hunter and Ian Siegal stood head and shoulders above the rest. They still do!
