And where were you born? Born in Carshalton, in Surrey. Tell me about your family background. I’m one of six children, three boys, three girls. We lived on council estates mostly, well always. Went to state schools. We were I suppose what you would call a working-class family. What were your parents’ names? My mum was called Lillian and my dad Robert. And... Do you know how they met? No, I don’t know how they met, that’s not... I’ve got a cousin actually, he’s trying to do a family tree at the moment, you know, on the Net I believe, but I don’t really...I’ve got some, some history but not really how they met, no. And we never really... My father seemed to...he didn’t have any contact with his family at all, so I don’t know...I don’t know why, and I don’t know anything about his family. I know more about my mother’s family. Yup. They were, both come from Camberwell. I know a bit about my grandfather now, and my grandfather, but I don’t...my grandmother died when I was quite young, about nine I think, and I only remember seeing her once. And what did your maternal grandfather do? What did he do? I know he came from Le Havre, so he was French. He, it seems... It’s a bit unclear but I think he had two businesses, one was horse-drawn cabs, and the Leslie Russell C1046/05/01 F13773A Page 2 other was, which he definitely had, was a fruit and vegetable business, and I think he was probably supplying restaurants and things like that, and probably coming from France I would have felt. The other extraordinary thing, I’ve only just found out, is, they had thirteen children, and, one of whom died in the ’14-18 War, one of the boys, Frederick, their name was Perrault, and... I’m forgetting why I’m telling you this now. Oh yes. It seems, they never got married...(laughs)...which is... And I often wondered really; he probably had a wife in, in Le Havre I should think, and did a runner across the sea. I think that probably happened quite a lot. My mother... My elder sister knows more about it than I do, but my mother used to tell me she could remember when she was small when they lived in a house when they had servants and things. But then, he, the story is that he was embezzled of all of his money from his brother, and then the whole family ended up in the workhouse, where they had their heads shaved, and, and my grandmother apparently went out and scrubbed office floors and gradually got them all out again. It’s...I think my mum was very small, she doesn’t have a huge memory of that, but I think that was, must have changed their lives, you know, dramatically really. So, before she moved to Camberwell, where do you think... They were born there, both of them, I’ve seen their... I can’t remember the address but they were both born in that area. So, how they met, I’m not really sure, I’ve seen pictures of their wedding and so on. Yes, not a happy couple. So... And, I’m, as I said, one of six. We’re all divorced, which I think is, is... You know, I’m a great believer in, what happens to you when you’re small does shape your life and your decisions. So, yes, we’re very much the working-class family. And, where are you in...? Oh, I’m number four. I’m the youngest son, and I have two younger sisters. And my...we were like two groups of three; my next eldest sister is nine years older than me, and then I’ve got a brother who’s eighteen months older than her, and another brother who’s two years older than the...so there’s one older brother, next brother, then my sister. And then, I don’t know what happened for nine years, but then I came along. (laughs) And then two younger sisters. © The British Library Board Leslie Russell C1046/05/01 F13773A Page 3 And what sort of things do they do? What did they do? They were... My dad did all sorts. I can remember when I was little, he worked in a factory where they made toys, so, he worked on a lathe I think. I think he did any kind of job to, you know, just earn some money really. And where was the factory? That I don’t know, because we lived, until I was eleven we lived in Carshalton, where I was born, and Carshalton is, you know, next to Mitcham, and it’s very sort of, south London basically. And then, when I was eleven we moved to a place called Merstham, which is very near Redhill and Reigate, in the middle of nowhere, those awful council estates they built to offload people from London I think basically. Because when we were talking earlier before the tape about not feeling part of anything, that’s a bit of what I meant. I don’t really, not realising it, but we were sort of, not felt part of anything very really. So, that was quite extraordinary, because we... What happened then, it sounds like a long time ago, but people locally were kind of, some of them were very sort of country based, so we were a sort of, south London family, and I think again felt quite, not part of the whole thing. I remember going to school at that age with a very cockney accent, which everybody had, and then I went to a secondary modern school in the grammar stream where you’re supposed to do, it was the next best thing to going to a grammar school. And, just right from day one was in trouble, kind of, basically, one of those cockney kids who wasn’t going to back off to anybody, you know, I was always fighting, and, the first day I think I was up before the headmaster for three different kind of fracas sort of thing. And that was a lot of, I think just coming from London, you know, ‘You do you think you are?’ that kind of stuff. What was the name of the school? It was called Albury Manor, and it was in Merstham, which not many people have heard of. It’s literally about halfway between London and Brighton on the old Brighton road. I mean, you could drive through it and spit out the window, and you’d © The British Library Board Leslie Russell C1046/05/01 F13773A Page 4 gone past it. It was that kind of place. God knows why they moved there. The only thing I can imagine, you know, we had a bigger garden, and... I can’t, I can’t really think of why, you know. Because we, for someone of my age, I mean eleven, I had loads of friends, and local kids, and, that you just sort of left behind, which made it very difficult. Very difficult, that’s an over-exaggeration. So I can’t say that we enjoyed school, except that, fortunately for me, as I say, the problems I had on day one gave me a bit of a reputation of being, you know, a hard nut or whatever you want to call it. I was very good at football, which was actually what I really wanted to do. So I played football for the school, and, for the borough sometimes and things like that, which meant that you had some kind of status, especially with boys, you know, you can, if you can play sport you can get away with a lot of things.

  • For a Faggot Anti-Fascism!
    ...for a faggot anti-fascism! June 2011. The squares are crowded. The people? The people left their couches and took to the streets. Debate. Fermentation. Direct democracy. The people got to acquaint themselves with the real, human face of anarchy rather than with that portrayed in the 8 o'clock news. Those days were a rupture. From there onwards we would “storm into the sky”. The cops spoiled the party. The repressive pigs. With the Israeli tear gas.1 At that point, then, a bit before storming the skies, an awkward moment was due. It was the first and only time – it is true – that we set foot in Syntagma square. It was when on the 4th June 2011, the gay pride parade run into the 'indignados'. Given that it was summer, the coldness of the encounter had something beautiful. A celebration of homosexual pride was encountering a circus of national moaning and it was logical to expect some discontent on the part of the latter. But this text won't talk about such easy to prove point: the widespread racism of Greek society against non-heteronormatives. We want, instead, to address the field of homophobia within anti-fascism, an immediate concern for us. Not to argue why it is not in our interest to maintain it. Besides, who is 'us'? We would just like to elucidate it and put different foundations in the whole debate, our foundations. No one would be surprised were we to reiterate the view that many stereotypes, prejudices and hate ideas have survived from the middle ages, and even prior to that, to the late 19th century and down to the 21st century.

  • Book Proposal 3
    Rock and Roll has Tender Moments too... ! Photographs by Chalkie Davies 1973-1988 ! For as long as I can remember people have suggested that I write a book, citing both my exploits in Rock and Roll from 1973-1988 and my story telling abilities. After all, with my position as staff photographer on the NME and later The Face and Arena, I collected pop stars like others collected stamps, I was not happy until I had photographed everyone who interested me. However, given that the access I had to my friends and clients was often unlimited and 24/7 I did not feel it was fair to them that I should write it all down. I refused all offers. Then in 2010 I was approached by the National Museum of Wales, they wanted to put on a retrospective of my work, this gave me a special opportunity. In 1988 I gave up Rock and Roll, I no longer enjoyed the music and, quite simply, too many of my friends had died, I feared I might be next. So I put all of my negatives into storage at a friends Studio and decided that maybe 25 years later the images you see here might be of some cultural significance, that they might be seen as more than just pictures of Rock Stars, Pop Bands and Punks. That they even might be worthy of a Museum. So when the Museum approached me three years ago with the idea of a large six month Retrospective in 2015 I agreed, and thought of doing the usual thing and making a Catalogue.

  • The Moody Blues Tour / Set List Project - Updated April 9, 2006
    The Moody Blues Tour / Set List Project - updated April 9, 2006 compiled by Linda Bangert Please send any additions or corrections to Linda Bangert ([email protected]) and notice of any broken links to Neil Ottenstein ([email protected]). This listing of tour dates, set lists, opening acts, additional musicians was derived from many sources, as noted on each file. Of particular help were "Higher and Higher" magazine and their website at www.moodies- magazine.com and the Moody Blues Official Fan Club (OFC) Newsletters. For a complete listing of people who contributed, click here. Particular thanks go to Neil Ottenstein, who hosts these pages, and to Bob Hardy, who helped me get these pages converted to html. One-off live performances, either of the band as a whole or of individual members, are not included in this listing, but generally can be found in the Moody Blues FAQ in Section 8.7 - What guest appearances have the band members made on albums, television, concerts, music videos or print media? under the sub-headings of "Visual Appearances" or "Charity Appearances". The current version of the FAQ can be found at www.toadmail.com/~notten/FAQ-TOC.htm I've construed "additional musicians" to be those who played on stage in addition to the members of the Moody Blues. Although Patrick Moraz was legally determined to be a contract player, and not a member of the Moody Blues, I have omitted him from the listing of additional musicians for brevity. Moraz toured with the Moody Blues from 1978 through 1990. From 1965-1966 The Moody Blues were Denny Laine, Clint Warwick, Mike Pinder, Ray Thomas and Graeme Edge, although Warwick left the band sometime in 1966 and was briefly replaced with Rod Clarke.
