Calling All Kopites: Help Needed

This one is off topic in terms of music, but I’m involved in a social history project surrounding Liverpool Football Club.

I’m wanting your photos (and vids if you have them) that relate to supporting Liverpool Football Club in the 1960s.

You can upload any pictures and files by clicking the link here and using the password 60skop

I’m also wanting your stories, so if you were following LFC in the 60s drop me a line at my contact page here.

Also, if you’d prefer to get in touch personally than use the uploader, just drop me a line at my contact page here.

Thanks very much for all your help.

Dirty Thirty Song At PCS Conference

When people ask if I want to be famous, my reply is always the same.

“Bloody hell no! But I’d love the songs to be.”

That’s why I’m always delighted when other singers perform my songs.

My song The Dirty Thirty will be performed at PCS Conference in Brighton on Monday 16th May by singer/guitarist Peter Lucas.

If you fancy going along, all money raised goes to the hardship fund, and it’s just £1 to get in.

The fun starts at 8pm and there’s a quiz and a 2 o’clock bar as well as the music.

It all takes place at Western Front, 11 Cranbourne Street, Brighton. (It’s next to the main shopping area.)

Headlining At Levellers Day (Sat 14 May)

I’ll be headlining at Levellers Day at Warwick Hall Garden in Burford this Saturday.

This years theme is jobs – the future of employment.

The speakers include climate jobs expert Barbara Harriss-White, Newsnight’s Economics Editor Paul Mason, and Leader of the communications union (and fellow Scouser) Billy Hayes.

I’ll be on stage at 3.30pm, but there’ll also be music from Trev Williams and from Anne Lister.

It’s a great event and tickets are from £5 either at wegottickets.com or on the door. Under 14s are free.

Sam Meech’s Film About March 26 London Demo

Check out film maker Sam Meech’s interesting short film documenting the March 26th demo in London.

If, like me, you were on that demo then you might even spot yourself.

In particular you might recognise the song that forms the soundtrack of the first half of the film. Hehehe.
