  • Dave Parker Gets Blue Again Shaky Lee Goes to Colne Ian Mcneil
    www.tftw.org.uk The Roots Music Magazine including October 2012 Rock'n'Roll, R&B, soul, jazz, folk, The Roots Music Networking Group country and 69 much more ALL ARTICLES/IMAGES ARE COPYRIGHT OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AUTHORS FOR REPRODUCTION, PLEASE CONTACT ALAN LLOYD VIA TFTW.ORG.UK © Malcolm Minney Keith at his recent appearance on Radio Caroline sporting one of his many crowning glories Dave Parker gets blue again In this issue Shaky Lee goes to Colne Ian McNeil keeps on Rambling Mr Angry is Still Very Upset Dominique continues his history of Elvis Dominique nearly ends his tale of Eddie Bond And more... 1 A rollicking romp through the backstage area with veteran tour manager Malcolm Cook provides both humour and insight, and is likely to be of particular interest to TFTW readers because of the timescale involved. Malcolm, whose literary talents are unlikely to outshine his tour managing abilities, tells his life-story in a straight-forward, no- nonsense way, and gives glimpses into how the stars behave when they are not in front of the paying public. He also details the exploits of the unseen road crews and backstage bods without whom the stars would not shine – and it’s often hilarious. Malcolm started out road managing Eden Kane, the handsome sixties hit-maker who charted with Well, I Ask You among others. Mal’s job involved driving his charge from show to show, making sure his shoes were shined, his stage clothes were presentable, that backing musicians had “the dots”, the lighting engineer knew the plot, and 101 other functions.
