Brian Jones and Keith Richards with the instrumental Hear It recorded 21~23 July, '64.
 

 

Brian Jones- it was his band, he was multi talented but he couldn't  compose songs.

When Mick and Keith started writing songs and riffs, Brian had to take a back seat.

He couldn't handle it, the  loss of his girlfriend , Anita Pallenberg to Keith, rubbed salt into the wounds.

He should have left the UK, moved to Thailand,found a good woman and bought a farm, using his royalties as beer money.

Thinking about it, a lot of rock musicians could have saved their lives by moving upcountry to Thailand.

It sounds like you've foillowed your own advice, bannork.  So what local Hull band were you in?  

The Housemartins with Caravan Of Love from '86.  Perhaps you've seen them at The New Adelphi Club on De Grey Street?

Regarding Hull, Tippers, imo there were two people of note:

Mick Ronson

Henry Priestman. Henry was a good friend of mine at primary school. He had the good sense, like myself, to leave Hull as soon as possible, moving to Liverpool, and having a successful career with The Christians. I believe he was still playing small gigs in Liverpool, before the pandemic, at people's houses.

The story of Hull

 

Sounds like Hull is a real hell hole.  Well, I had the good sense to get out of Chicago.  I managed to do it twice before but always came back.  Never again, though.  And I did eventually find my way to Thailand and settled down with a wonderful Thai lady.  My wife's family are farmers but it wasn't for her.  Still, we have farmland but it's idle.

Other than Ronson and the Christians I did find some bands that put out some worthy tunes.  I enjoyed the ones I posted, especially after a few listens.  Granted, I had to dig through their material to find a few good ones.  I take the tack that just like the one hit wonders most every band has at least one or two songs that are keepers.  Often times many more than a few.  I have to listen to a lot of unpleasantness but it's worth building up a library of decent music that I haven't heard a million times through the decades.  I love the old standards and will never tire of them yet at the same time I do yearn for great material that I've never heard before.  Which is part of the reason I'm hear.  Thanks to you, oft times.

An obscure Hull folk band, the Newfolks, with Hawthorn White off of their only '65 EP The New Folks On Record.
 

The Newfolks were a group of students from Kingston Upon Hull College Of Education (nowadays known as Hull College, of course).

Their only known release is the five-track EP, “The Newfolks On Record”, which was recorded in 1965 as a commemorative record for students leaving the college that year – students had to pre-order and pay for their copy up front.

It is doubtful that very many records were pressed – possibly as few as 50 copies.

 

 

The older I get, the more I appreciate early Floyd. What a lovely song by Gilmour.

 

You're a musical adventurer Tippers, always looking for new material whilst I'm quite content to sit on the 500 odd songs I know on a loop for ever. Having said that, this thread is a joy to be part of, often hearing new material.

I shouldn't denigrate Hull, the place and people have character, much more than many other towns in the UK. I had a great time growing up there but I had to get out, first from the parochialism of the area, then finally from the dullness of the UK Dreadful weather, a tiny country, a million laws.

Regulated to death.

The freedom of movement Thai weather brings, the space upcountry, the friendliness of locals when you see them every day, all give me a sense of well being I could never achieve in the UK

IMHO Atom Heart Mother was one of Floyds best albums.
