  • A Review of Famous Songs of the Past “Fascinating Facts” August 2017
    Daily Sparkle CD - A Review of Famous Songs of the Past “Fascinating Facts” August 2017 Track 1 Summertime Blues Summertime Blues is a song co-written and recorded by American rockabilly artist Eddie Cochran. Edward Raymond "Eddie" Cochran (October 3, 1938 – April 17, 1960) was an American musician. Cochran's rockabilly songs, such as "Summertime Blues", "C'mon Everybody", and "Somethin' Else", captured teenage frustration and desire in the mid-1950s and early 1960s. He was involved with music from an early age, playing in the school band and teaching himself to play blues guitar as well as piano, bass and drums. His image as a sharply dressed and good-looking young man with a rebellious attitude epitomized the stance of the 1950s rocker, and in death he achieved an iconic status. Cochran died at age 21 after a road accident, while travelling in a taxi in Chippenham, Wiltshire, during his British tour in April 1960, having just performed at Bristol's Hippodrome theatre. Though his best-known songs were released during his lifetime, more of his songs were released posthumously. Track 2 Lazy, Hazy, Crazy Days of Summer Those Lazy-Hazy-Crazy Days of Summer is a song on the 1963 album of the same name by Nat King Cole, Nathaniel Adams Coles (March 17, 1919 – February 15, 1965), known professionally as Nat King Cole, was an American musician who first came to prominence as a leading jazz pianist. He owes most of his popular musical fame to his soft baritone voice, which he used to perform in big band and jazz genres.

  • Evil Aliens and Island Otherness in British Cinema
    Hayward – Western Edges Feature Review WESTERN EDGES Evil Aliens and Island Otherness in British Cinema PHILIP HAYWARD Macquarie University, Sydney <[email protected]> Abstract Evil Aliens (2005), directed by Jake West, offers a vivid representation of a western British island as a place of liminal otherness. It builds on a cinematic tradition of representing such locations as places of difference and transition to an (implied) Anglo-British cultural core and provides a new inflection that facilitates a particularly vivid crystallisation of themes. The following analysis identifies the significance of the island location to Evil Aliens’ narrative and reflects on the continuing sense of western liminality present in a 21st Century Anglo-British imagination of ‘its’ island fringe. Keywords British islands, British cinema, Horror, Wales Introduction It should be stated at the outset that Evil Aliens is anything but a contemplative film. Rather it is a comedic blend of Science Fiction and the visceral sub-genre of Horror cinema often referred to as ‘Splatter’. This makes its prominent articulation of an island theme all the more notable. One of the early motivations behind the scholarly contemplation of popular culture was the recognition that it often mobilised significant representations of race, class, gender, place etc. within its narrative scenarios and visual and/or sonic representations. Analyses of these levels of popular cultural texts often involve bringing what was latent to the surface (as opposed to unravelling the patterns of authorial intentionality that were presumed to mark more serious ‘high’ cultural texts). In Britain the work of the British Film Institute and its various publishing outlets brought critical attention to such populist studios as Gainsborough (Aspinall and Murphy [eds], 1983) and such mainstream directors as Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger (Christie, 1978) or Sydney Launder and Frank Gilliat (Brown, 1977).

  • Pete Shutler Obituary
    Pete Shutler obituary Accordion player with the Yetties, the folk group that plays the theme tune for the Sunday omnibus edition of The Archers • Derek Schofield • The Guardian, Tuesday 23 September 2014 18.01 BST The Yetties performing with Pete Shutler, centre, Bonny Sartin, left, and Mac McCulloch. Photograph: Mjroots The Yetties were one of the most popular English folk music groups from the 1960s through to the present day. Starting in folk clubs and festivals, they took their music to a wider audience in theatres and concert halls. Comic songs and singalongs were added to their repertoire of traditional folk songs and tunes, especially from their home county of Dorset. Their lead musician, on accordion, was Pete Shutler, who has died aged 68 of cancer. Pete, backed by Mac McCulloch on guitar, took the lead on the band's instrumental pieces, while the third member of the trio, Bonny Sartin, led the songs. In their early days Bob Common, who left the group in 1979, played percussion and sang, and for a while in the 80s they were joined by Roger Trim on fiddle. It was Pete's accordion that led Barwick Green, the theme tune for the BBC Radio 4 series, The Archers; the Yetties' version has introduced the Sunday morning omnibus edition for almost 40 years. Pete was born in Mudford, near Yeovil, Somerset, but the family moved over the Dorset border to the village of Ryme Intrinseca. He went to school in the neighbouring village of Yetminster, and it was there, in St Andrew's scout troop, that he met the other three members of the group.

    A Review of Famous Songs of the Past ‘Fascinating Facts’ August 2020 Track 1 Combine Harvester In 1976, the Wurzels released The Combine Harvester, a re-work of the song ‘Brand New Key’, by Melanie, which became a UK hit, topping the charts for 2 weeks. The Wurzels (originally Adge Cutler and the Wurzels but renamed The Wurzels after Adge Cutler's death) are a British Scrumpy and Western band. The Somerset-based band is best known by many people for their hit Combine Harvester, and I Am A Cider Drinker based on the song Una Paloma Blanca. but they have a history stretching over 40 years, and still perform to this day. The Wurzels were formed in 1966 as a backing group for singer/songwriter Adge Cutler. With a thick Somerset accent, Adge played on his West Country roots, singing many folk songs with local themes such as cider making (and drinking), farming, dung-spreading, local villages and industrial work songs, often with a comic slant. During the latter half of the 1960s, the band became immensely popular regionally, and the release of the single "Drink Up Thy Zider" in 1966 led to national fame. The B-side "Twice Daily" was banned by the BBC for being too raunchy. Adge Cutler died after falling asleep at the wheel of his MGB sports car which then overturned on a roundabout approaching the Severn Bridge. The band still tours and sings to this day. Track 2 The Campbells Are Coming A Scottish song. The song is commonly attributed to Robert Burns, like many Scottish songs, which are actually traditional or of unknown origin.
