A little bit of Crawdaddy history. Established in 1962 The Crawdaddy Club, Richmond was, alongside The Eel Pie Hotel in Twickenham, on the forefront of Britain’s R&B music scene. On a par with The Cavern Club in Liverpool, the home of The Beatles and the Liverpool sound, The Crawdaddy was The Rolling Stones first residency and helped to launch the early careers of such musical legends as Eric Clapton with The Yardbirds , Paul Jones with Manfred Mann, Rod Stewart, Long john Baldry , Ray Davies before he started The Kinks amongst many others. It was originally located at the Station Hotel opposite Richmond Station, but by 1963 demand outgrew the size of the venue and moved across to the Richmond Athletic Ground where it continued with the Yardbirds as the house band and many other great acts of that fabulous era. We are proud to revive this historic club and plan to run regular live gigs with some of the best bands of today to keep the rich musical heritage of Richmond alive. .

Giving America Back the Blues
GIVING AMERICA BACK THE BLUES OVERVIEW ESSENTIAL QUESTION How did the early Rolling Stones help popularize the Blues? OVERVIEW The Rolling Stones ultimately made their mark as the nonconformist outlaws of Rock and Roll. But before they were bad boys, the Stones were missionaries of the Blues. The young Rolling Stones — Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Brian Jones, Charlie Watts, and Bill Wyman — were white kids who hailed from working- and middle-class Britain and set out to play American music, primarily that of African Americans with roots in the South. In so doing, they helped bring this music to a new, largely white audience, both in Britain and the United States. The young men who formed the Rolling Stones emerged from the club scene fostered by British Blues pioneers Cyril Davies and Alexis Korner. These two men and their band, Blues Incorporated, helped popularize the American Blues, whose raw intensity resonated with a generation of Britons who had grown up in the shadow of war, death, the Blitz, postwar rationing, and the hardening of the Cold War standoff. Much of the Stones’ early work consisted of faithful covers of American Blues artists that Davies, Korner, and the Stones venerated: Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Slim Harpo, Jimmy Reed. The early Stones in particular helped make the Blues wildly popular among young Britons. As the Stones’ fame grew and they became part of the mid-1960s British “invasion” of America, they also reintroduced the Blues to American listeners, most notably young, white audiences with limited exposure to the music. But almost from day one, the Stones were more than a Blues cover band.

Andrew Loog Oldham by Rob Bowman As the Rolling Stones’ Manager and Producer, He Played a Seminal Role in the Creation of Modern Rock & Roll
Andrew Loog Oldham By Rob Bowman As the Rolling Stones’ manager and producer, he played a seminal role in the creation of modern rock & roll. IN 1965, TOM WOLFE FAMOUSLY DUBBED PHIL SPECTOR America’s first tycoon of teen. Great Britain in the 1960s had its own version with Andrew Loog Oldham. Similarly eccentric, Oldham sported a one-of-a-kind mix of flamboyance, fashion, attitude, chutz pah, vision, and business smarts. As comanager of the Rolling Stones from May 1963 to September 1967, and founder and co-owner of Im mediate Records from 1965 to 1970, he helped shape the future of rock, and certainly turned the music industry in the United Kingdom on its head. Along the way, between the ages of 19 and 23, he pro duced some of the greatest records in rock & roll history, leading Bill board to describe him as one of the top five producers in the world, and Cashbox to declare him a musical giant. ^ He was born in Lon don on January 29, 1944, during the Germans’ nightly bombard ment of England. His father, whom he never met, was Texas airman Andrew Loog, killed in June 1943 when his B-17 bomber was shot down over France. Raised by his mother, Celia Oldham, the preco cious teenager began working for Mary Quant during the day, at Ronnie Scott’s jazz club in the evening, and at the fabled Flamingo club after midnight. He also found time to form a (short-lived) pub lic relations firm with Pete Meaden, the future manager of the Who.

Brian Auger´S Oblivion Express Feat. Alex Ligertwood
Brian Auger´s Oblivion Express feat. Alex Ligertwood Alex Ligertwood (li.) und Brian Auger (re.) „Brian Auger (* 18. Juli 1939 in London) ist einer der profiliertesten Jazz- und Rock-Keyboarder der Gegenwart. Für seine Millionen Fans ist der einzigartige Sound, der seine Wurzeln im Jazz, Rock, Soul und Funk hat, ein unverkennbares Markenzeichen des berühmten Hammond - und Keyboard -Spielers. Schon früh erhielt Auger Klavierunterricht. 1962 formierte er sein Brian Auger Trio mit Rick Laird und Schlagzeuger Phil Kinorra als zunächst reine Jazzcombo. 1965 gründete er zusammen mit Rod Stewart, Julie Driscoll und John Baldry die Gruppe The Steampacket. Nachdem Rod Stewart und John Baldry die Gruppe verlassen hatten, gründete Auger mit Julie Driscoll die Gruppe Trinity. In dieser Besetzung hatte die Band mehrere Single-Hits (Road ToCairo, This Wheel's on Fire, Season Of The Witch) und brachte das viel beachtete Doppelalbum „Streetnoise“ (1969) heraus. Nachdem Driscoll 1969 Trinity verließ, besetzte Auger die Gruppe um (mit Gary Boyle), doch konnte er nicht mehr an die Erfolge der späten 1960er Jahre anknüpfen und löste Trinity 1970 auf. Auch mit seiner anschließend gegründeten Band Oblivion Express hatte Auger zunächst keinen übermäßigen Erfolg. Seit dem Album „CloserToIt“ (1973), das es in die Charts schaffte, festigte sich der Gruppenstil zu einer groove-betonten Mischung aus rhythmischen Elementen des R&B und Funk und harmonischen und melodischen Elementen des Jazz. Brian Auger trat auch mit Klaus Doldinger, Alexis Korner, Pete York, Eric Burdon und anderen Größen der populären Musik auf. 1974 zog Auger in die USA, wo er weiter Alben aufnahm. In den USA bekam er wieder Kontakt zu Julie Tippetts-Driscoll.

John, Sir Elton (b.1947) by Nathan G. Tipton Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Sir Elton John on stage in 2008. Photograph by Elton John has, over five decades, achieved an amazingly successful track record in Richard Mushet. the music industry. He was not only the biggest-selling pop superstar of the 1970s, Image appears under the but, more surprisingly, he continues to retain popularity among his fans and respect Creative Commons from music critics. Attribution-Share Alike 2.0 Generic license. Elton John holds a music industry record for most consecutive singles placed in the Top 40, a string that began in 1970 and was broken only in 2000. Stephen Erlewine has noted that, although Elton John has endured temporary slumps in creativity and sales, he continues to craft contemporary pop standards that showcase his musical versatility. John's combination of melodic skills, dynamic charisma, and raucous performance style has made him a remarkably popular musical artist. Elton John was born Reginald Kenneth Dwight in Pinner, Middlesex, England on March 25, 1947. Dwight began playing piano at age four and, when he was eleven, won a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music in London. After six years at school, he left in order to break into the music business. In 1961 he joined his first band, Bluesology, but left in 1966 because of creative differences with bandleader Long John Baldry. During this time Dwight had answered a Liberty Records advertisement for songwriters; and, though he failed the vocal audition, he was given a stack of lyrics written by Bernie Taupin, a young songwriter from Lincolnshire who had also answered the ad.

Read an Extract
1964 FIRED by his live experiences with The Konrads and searching for an escape from his ad agency job, David resolves to make a go of music with George Underwood. David is the focal point on vocals and saxophone when they form The King Bees with three older musicians, playing hard-edged R&B. A cheeky appeal for financial backing to magnate John Bloom results in contact with agent/manager Leslie Conn, who also handles another unknown, Marc Bolan. Conn signs a deal with Decca for a single, ‘Liza Jane’, with ‘Louie, Louie Go Home’ on the B-side. David leaves his day job and becomes a fully fledged professional musician. Promotion for the single includes an appearance on Ready Steady Go! and BBC TV’s The Beat Room, with David also playing saxophone. The failure of ‘Liza Jane’ to chart leads to the disbandment of The King Bees. Conn has already hooked David up with The Manish Boys from Kent, though tensions arise over billing and David finds himself shuttling between Bromley and their base in Maidstone. Davie Jones & The Manish Boys play R&B venues all over south-east England but struggle to make an impact. David makes his first appearance at Soho club the Marquee, which will become a significant venue in his life. He also meets girlfriend Dana Gillespie there. In an attempt to create a stir, David forms The Society ANY DAY NOW l DAVID BOWIE l THE LONDON YEARS NOW l DAVID ANY DAY For The Prevention Of Cruelty To Long-Haired Men, again appearing on national TV.

Nr.: MIG 00492 Format: 1 CD Jewel Genre: Rock Brian Auger talks about “The Mod Years” It was in April-May 1965, when Long John Baldry saw me playing in the Manchester club “The Twisted Wheel”. Baldry was already a famous name at that time. He even had his own hour a division of on television, so big deal. I was called to a meeting the following week with John, his manager and agent. John’s Hoochie Coochie Men were breaking up. It was suggested that my trio, the Trinity with bassist Rickey Brown and drummer Mickey Waller would become the rhythm section of the new band. I added Vic Briggs, John wanted his protégé Rod Stewart to sing with us. I suggested adding singer Julie Driscoll, who at that time was working in my manager’s office but waiting to start a career with a band. The Steampacket were a tremendous success live and went on to be called the first Supergroup. I arranged and interpreted stuff for everybody in the band. Because of arguments as what label to record for, we missed recording our own album. After the breakup, Baldry changed the band into The Shotgun Express and The Brotherhood, with Elton John at the piano. This anthology compiles tunes from before 1966.

The British Invasion: Finding Traction in America by Piacentino Vona A
The British Invasion: Finding Traction in America by Piacentino Vona A thesis presented to the University Of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in History Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2018 © Piacentino Vona 2018 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract As a period of American History, the 1960s has provided historians and academics with a wealth of material for research and scholarship. Presidents John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard Nixon, the Vietnam War, the hippie era, and the Civil Rights Movement, among other topics have received thorough historical discussion and debate. Music was another key aspect in understanding the social history of the 1960s. But unlike the people and events mentioned above, historians have devoted less attention to music in the historical landscape. The British Invasion was one such key event that impacted America in the 1960s. Bands such as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and the Who found their way into the United States and majorly impacted American society. Using secondary sources, newspaper articles, interviews and documentaries on these bands, this thesis explores the British Invasion and its influence in the context of 1960s America. This thesis explores multiple bands that came in the initial wave. It follows these bands from 1964-1969, and argues that the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and the Who shared common multiple factors that allowed them to attain the traction to succeed and to maintain that success in the United States.

Brian Jones – Authenticity and Significance
Brian Jones – Authenticity and Significance By Christian Botta The Rolling Stones’ guitarist and founder Brian Jones’ importance as a blues player is hard to define. At once a skilled multi-instrumentalist and an iconic symbol of sixties’ excess, he was also a central figure in the British Blues Boom, from which the group began. Because of his early death, the rapidly evolving nature of the Stones’ music in the 1960s, and his being overshadowed by blues players such as Eric Clapton, Jones’ legacy as a blues musician is enigmatic. This paper will take a look at Jones’ work and decide whether or not he was one of the important British blues players of the 1960s. Brian Jones began his career as an acolyte of the British blues scene that began to flower in London around the late 1950s, sitting in on slide guitar with bands like Alexis Korner’s Blues Incorporated. He was one of the first Britons to master slide guitar,1 and was considered to be one of the best blues harmonica players on the scene, as well.2 At the start, he was a blues purist in a milieu that was finding its way with great energy and enthusiasm. But the forces of pop stardom and the creative and competitive drive of Jones’ band mates Mick Jagger and Keith Richards eventually came to bear on Jones’ focus on the blues. What was Brian Jones’ importance to the spread of blues to the world at large and especially to musicians? Who did he influence? How authentic was his playing of the blues? This writer believes that Jones was a significant figure in the British Blues Boom and that he had an effect on American musicians, as well, and that his music has a degree of authenticity.
