Tom Robinson

[The Hesford Diet]

An understated little gem from the 80's. Far removed from his anger and fire of his band in the late 70's.

[MackemBob]

Lost his deposit IIRC, but was very good on Blackadder and Time Team

 

[Rubberglove]

Punches England fans all ower iirc

 

[Arkle]

For some reason, at 14, I didn't like this. Love it now... (and have for 25+ years)

 

[GTG]

Beautiful. Saw him sing this a couple of years ago (at Butlins!) and was moved to tears as I sang along. Probably more to do with the time it takes me back to than the song itself, but I do love his more personal stuff.

 

[The King of Um]

Lovely bloke too. Incredibly supportive of my son's band, gave them their first Six Music session, put them on stage at the Sage for BBC Introducing back during the Festival of the North and generally championed them. Just signed a deal now, and they owe him a lot for getting to that point. Genuinely cares tons about new music and supporting new bands.

Can remember my sister had the 45 of 2-4-6-8. When I was quite young I used to play it alongside Eddie and the Hot Rods, Television and Big Youth.

Didn’t he live at Flass Hall near Esh Winning at one time

Those were the days. I saw Television at City Hall in the mid-70's and, being cool, stayed in the bar while the support band were on, simply because they'd been on TOTP. Who wants to see Blondie anyway...

I never realised 2-4-6-8 motorway was a gay anthem until today

 

[Abu Dhabi Red and White]

Saw him solo live in Bellshill Community Centre in the late 70s/early 80s - he was good.

 

[Big Duke Six]

TTRB f***ing rocked.
Esh Winning lad.

 

[Billericay Dichio]

Prefer the anger and fire of the 1970s.

"Lesbians and left wing scum..."

"Freedom from the likes of you..."

Plus ca change Rodders.

I was there. And you missed out big style.

Happens all the time. Musician puts away his youthful angst and tries to write tunes shocker.
