Anyone see BBC4 Whistle Test 70's special ?

[stephen coy]

Just watched the Whistle Test 70's special on BBC4. Some great artists on show including Dr Feelgood, Vinegar Joe, Brinsley Schwartz just to name a few.

For anyone into The Old Grey Whistle Test who missed that, definitely worth looking out for the next screening

Think Paul Weller must have read that before he founded The Jam

As is You Tube - search Old Grey Whistle Test and there is a huge choice archived there in reasonable quality. I particularly like the Lynyrd Skynyrd 45 minute session...

I liked Elkie, but always preferred Maggie Bell. That woman can really belt them out.

Brinzley Schwartz is also a top class guitar tech, as I discovered when I put my Strat into Chandler's in Kew for some work, and it came back with a detailed description and some advice signed by the man himself

It still lives in the Strat's case.
