Knowing Mahalia well by now, I pointed out that she was luckv in one sense be­cause on her first visit to the Albert Hall she was conspicu­o usly In less demand . In fact she said herself: " Your people didn't know me . Well, they couldn't have done . Why, at that time they didn't even know me on the North Side of Chicago."

She laughed at the memory

and said " It's t rue, and I'd been singing in Chicago about 26 years·• She allowed, as so many American artists (jazz, blues and gospel) have done, that Europe "showed the USA what American music really was."

I asked what activities she did enjoy, apa rt from music, and she said: "I love to have company. There's people you want to talk to and those you don't, or course. But I like to have friends to cook for . So when you come to Chicago, rmg me up and I'll cook you some Louisiana red beans."

Before I could ask for the number, she had divined the question (Mahalia has a built­in vibration receiver).

"It's in the telephone book I stay m that In fact, I've been In it ever since I was able to get a telephone. I'm not one of those singers who fee l they haven't arrived until they're unlisted."

The remark character ises Mahalia's unpretentiousness. When we discuss politics she might say: "The one thing I

" Whenever Martin would ask me to help, I'd try to drop whatever I was doing and go to him I never met another man like him. He was fearless and completely sincere, and he would make you laugh-with all his troubles.

THE CONCEPTION of what constitutes a jazz big band has varied little over the past 40 years.

There have been occasional variations - Artie Shaw's use

f~e a 1::egu11:Jo:~r~~tnsne:t~~nt

worth's Seven Section of a few years back and the use or woodwind or odd instruments.

Now Harry South has come up with a new idea And it came from a commercial album session

Says Harry: "Johnny Fran;i a1 Philips suRgested a semi­commercia l LP and mentioned Bert Kaempfert to me . After lis tening tn Knmpferr albu_ms I thought that was ou~. I like Sergio Mendes and lastenmg to 1ome of h 1s things I got the idea of havin& two five or six piece brass sections plus four 11~eds, rhythm, and various percussion. I thought 1t ~lluld be ideal for s tereo.

'• I did this for the album, which will be out 1n Septem­ber, and then thought the same thing could apply equal-

" What I want to do now 1s have two brass sec-lions -

HARRY SOUTH doub le br.iss section

each with three or four trumpet s and • couple or trombones - and use three or four strong ux soloists hke Tuhhy H3yes, J oe Harriott and Peter King I would feature them backed hy the double brass section

.. The popularity of the sax section helOJt ratht:r low these days I 1hink II would be more acceptable to present the H'<

players like this. "You can do a lot with two

brass sections - for example you can have one playing open and the other muted shadowing the sound. '

" I'm. hoping to do all this on a Jazz album and Terry Henebery has promised me a BBC·TV thing wh~n he starts a new senes which will be featuring British jaumen

A happy feeling among the Herd THE HERO, hll by Peter Frampton joining the nebu­lous Humble Pie and the en­forced deparlun or Andrew Stule, are strangely happy .

MELODY MAKER May 3 1, 1969--Pait: 9

A few years ago, a person was proud to say he was a musician.

It was like saying 'my son's a

doctor'. Now I'm almost ashamed to say I'm in the music business

HFRMAN, WHO took off on Mon­day on n three-month trip that will embrace such faraway pl1tces ns Hong Kong, the Philippines, Aus• tralla and Mexico, avows he'll never do another tour In Britain. " Unle~~ It's with Val Doonican or the Beatles," he says.

" Pop tours as such don't exist 11ny more," says Herman firmly.

· " And the groups themselves arc lo blame. Five years ago there were about eleven groups who would go on, do their latest hit, then disappear.

" Now, the big stars nre Tom Jones and Engelbert.. The Hollles will last for some years, and, I hope, Herman's Hermits. But where are the rest?

FAULT " It's their own fault. They've

been dirty and said the wrong things. A few years ago, a person was proud to say he was a musi• clan. It was like saying • my son's a doctor!' Now, I'm almost ashamed to say I'm in the music business.

" It's a Job even ror a musician to get Insurance for his car!

"Fortunately, we're an lntema• tlonal act now. And it's great to work in cabaret instead of doing one-nighters.

" It's a different type of work entirely. You can do Andy Wil­liams or Jack Jones records, in­stead of a string or your own hits and rock and roll. It's stupid. I wasted five years like this.

DIVE " I'm glad we have become an

international act. You can't make any money from records in Eng­land today. Record sales have taken a dive In England. It's dif­ferent abroad-but here everything Is against records.

" Some people can't even afford a car-so why should they waste their money on bits of plastic. To me, though, records are still more important than cars. There are so many memories for me on these pieces of plastic.

"But a lot or people in Eng­land would rather spend money on drink than on records. Drink­ing Is really a waste of time. I

drink-but I still think It's a waste of time.

" The sales of records are a joke these days. A No. I hit sells around 150,000, when once it would sell that many at No. 30.

"And how many albums can you sell? 50,000 is the very limit. And no•one Is going to live for six months on that.''

Happily for Herman, he's had a string of hits-17 singles in all. But even though hJs latest, 0 My Sentimental Friend" last week shot to No. 2, he's not anxious to be in the No. J slot.

"I'd rather have a record at No. 2, 3 or 4 than at No. I," says Herman. "A No. 1 record ls so hard to follow. People seem to expect so much more when you make No. J.

HARDER "But we stUI work very hard

on our records. Harder than we've ever done. And we owe it all to Mickle Most. Mickie Most is as Important to Herman's Hermits as one of Herman's Hermits.

"We used to argue a bit with

Mickie about the release of II re• cord. But he's proved he knows best. Often l've wanted some• thing else released, but he's stood out--and I've proved to be the one who was wrong. Mickie has done every single record I've ever made. Frankly, I think Lulu was stupid to leave him."

Herman's follow-up single to "My Sentimental Friend" won't be issued until he returns from his world tour in September.

PATTERN Did he feel the interval too

great? .. No," he says firmly. "That's our pattern of working. Every year we go abroad. We spend three months out of Eng­land.

"Our next record won't be re­leased until we can be here to promote it."

Obviously, Herman's Hermits have established a work routine that pays off. He may have some strong Ideas about the groupie scene. But he has stayed the pace -as his world rating and the chart convincingly prove.

'I'd have to work hard to be a failure again' says Peter WHAT'S the big-

gest problem facing Peter Sars­tedt at the mo­ment? His new single? Keeping up with the pace of hit records?

No. It's time: time to develop some of the projects which for too long have had to stay locked ins ide his brain .

.. The truth is I'm a bit bored," he told me this week perched on a chair in the MM office. " There is so much I want, and have, to do and no time to do it.''

LINKED For inf:tance, there is an

offer from producer Michael Cod ron to write a musical for London's West End. And there are many songs he wants to write. "Not just happy little things; instant things which I ca n write m a minute, but more elaborate projects, like songs I want to write about space and the planets. Perhaps six or seven lmkcd songs which might take weeks to complete."

So Pete r will be taking what the Americans call a Sabbatical time off from the normal every­day work to undertake special proJects. When? Certainl y not yet, but Peter gave the impression that it wouldn't be too fa r m the future, Although, United-Artists press officer Barbara Scott emphati cally insist­ed that it would be arter he had completed all cont ractual engagements.

"Take my stage work," said Peter, puffing a Players " I have perhaps enough material ror four hours out of w hich I can choose enough good ma­terial for one hour on stage. I want to gel some new stage songs together, so that means I have to write four more hours of material to choose from That takes time."

BORED He is also slightly bored

because he has been involved m the pop business, successfully a!1d unsuccessfully, for quite a Ion~ time.

" J had the success vicari­ously through my bro th ­er, when he was makmg 11 big And one way or another I've been si nging and w ritmg for some time "

Now he 1s faced with the g ruelling round _ of ap­pearances, mterv1ews, TV and radio spob to pro-

BY ALAN WALSH mote his new single, "Frozen Orange Juice," but though he finds it constri cting he insisted he doesn't hate it.

" I feel it might be doing me some good and anyway, I don ' t want to do any damage to the record compa ny or my agents, so I'll do it, even though it's time con­suming."

Peter wrote the new single a round Christmas t ime on a holiday in Tunisia with his gi rl friend . It's a more up-tempo song than "Whe re Do You Go To," given a much mo~e elaborate a rrangeme nl m 2/4 time, with st r ings, and French horns sweep• ing over hi s dis tinctive voice It seems like an­other smash hit, although Pete r felt that albums, more than sing les. were the impor tant aspect of

the record industry at this time.

He would very much like, if it were possible, to return to the obscurity he had before his records started selling, but is resigned to the fact that he can't. "I'd like to go back and be what I was before a JI this," he said, "but I realise you can't ... you can't go back. In fact , you mustn't try."

But he feels that whatever happens on the record scene, he won't eve r be a failure again. '' That sounds like conceit, but it is n't rea lly. It's just that I have a realisation that whateve r happens to me, it will be quite hard for me to faiL

YOU CAN proba~ly imagine that it's quite an experience to _me.et a legendary m u s , c , a n you've admired on record since you were a kid and know that you're going to play with him every night for three solid weeks. Well, my band felt a bit nervous Jast week as we waited for Howlin' Wolf to turn up for a quick rehearsal before we embarked on a British tour with him.

Ambled But as soon as he ambled

Into the room and a giant handshake and gravel­voiced greeting, " Hello, I'm the Wolf, nice to meet you," had been offered all round we relaxed. And after a roaring Jam on H Houserocking Boogie," and receiving the com­pliment, " You' re playing my kinda music and that's gonna make things easy," we felt pretty elated.

Wolf, In fact, has turned out to be a man of many pares, not the least being his constant good humour and genius for joke teUlng. He's had us falling about In the van with laughter and he's Just as entertaining off stage as on.

Supply

But first and foremost he's a natural bluesman. " I like a lot of things but my music is what I like to do most," he says. And at the age of 59 he's got a seemingly limitless supply or energy and enthusiasm for it. He throws all his guts and emotion into every performance and he's vis­ibly moved by the amazing receptions he's been getting here all over the country.

Apparently he works Just

HOWLIN' WOLF, a man of many parts

as hard in the States and when he's not playing one­nighters with his present band - Hubert Sumlin (guitar), Henry Gray (piano), Willie Young (tenor), Calvin Jones (bass) and WIilie Williams (drums) he's either keeping a watchful eye on his new club in Chicago or his farm in Te nnessee where he lies to relax, fishing, hunting or looking up old friends.

He's told us a lot about the Chicago blues scene and cleared up the Little Walter mystery explaining that the harp playe r was hit with a bottle during a tour or his favourite Southside bars. Incidentally WiUie Steele (Wolrs old drummer) ls In the army, and his ex­guitarist Willie Johnson has given up playing and now works In a steel mill.

As far as we can gather

just about the only thing Wolf hates is something he ca11s "that goddamn \\ah­wah guitar!" following the condemnation with a hi­larious Imitation of the sound and the comment, " that don't do nothing for me man!''

Heart Anyway he gave us the

good news that he's culling an album of new songs with his band at Chess as soon as he gets back to the States. •• And this time "' ain't gonna have none of that goddamn wah-wah. Jusl the good old stufl played straieht and simple, from the heart."

He's also invited us to play with him at his club in Chicago and we hope to take him up on it when we go to the States in July.

TOADSTOOL VILLE has switched on to electricity! Tyrannosaurus Rex have gone " heavy" and OUT are the rattling pots of yesteryear.

IN are loy drums and -sssh, a Stralocastcr. Marc Bolan, curly-ha1rl!d bopping Imp or pop, has wrought changes and unleashed prog­ression In his two-Imp group.

Marc and Steve Peregrine­Took have been criticised for "sounding the same " on their recordings and live per­rormances

Their Initial appeal was complete slmpllcuy. Marc sang and used a cheap acoustic guitar. Steve gripped bongoes between his knees and ratUed.

While maintaining the child­like quallllcs that endeared them to university and under­ground audiences from per• fumed garden to unperfumed dance hall, Tyrannosaurus ls leaping (nto pastures new.

The group go to America on June 15 for ten weeks. Perhaps the charge or elct:• tricity will give them extra strength for the ordeal ahead.

Marc and his girlfriend June Child entertained me with a feast of eggs and wine at their spacious attic dwelling In West London recenUy, and chatted while playing the new Rex album " Unicorn."

" When we go to America we'll be living in a house In California with Aynsley Dunbar and the Floyd. It's cheap and practical," Hid Marc white June Child went out In pursuit or fresh casks of wine.

But Marc would not agree that he was In any way worried about their first Stateside trip.

" We've altered very much from how we used to be. We use a full drum kit now and we have done a completely electric single. It sounds llke John's Children."

Marc smiled. That was the group he joined for a while during the height of Dower power, which produced sur• prlslngtr, heavy rock llke the dasslc • Go Go Girl."

" On the new album we use bass and a proper drum kit we bought In Hamley's, and

POLAN pastures nC'w

I've bought a Stratocaster. " It doesn't actu.ally sound

that much dlfforent, just moro funky. We always played pop music anyway, and to mo It's completely fair lo use elec­tricity. Dul we won't be loud. We're using two 15 watt amps

" Going to America doesn't really excite me at all. If we are a success - well, that will be lovely."

" The American bands I havo seen have been so bad, It seems to me that If you arc just together In your own scene you c:an be successful there.

" We've never had anything released there, but I think some Imports have sold about 2,000. We can only go on and play and show them we believe In what we're doing."

Their next single Is to be " King Of The Rumbling Spires." Is It a rocker?

" Vos, It sounds a bit like the Who, I suppose. It'll be released In August."

Their recorded output Is quite enormous for such a tiny combo. " Unicorn " Is their third album and says Marc: " We've already done our next one.

" For us, olght hours Is a long session. We've always had complete freedom to do what we like. I have a complete say In everything, and Tony VlsconU, our pro­ducer, Is such a lovely cat."

" As a kid I always wanted to record, and It took me so long to get Into records I don't want to stop now.

" It's silly when you see groups In studios slttlng around all day Just dirtying up the place. There's no need to spend 20 hours getting a bass sound. Record It ftat and • live,' then spend the time on reducing."

As part of their '' new look," Tyrannosaurus have also added a twelve quid Woolworth's organ to their line-up, which must Intrigue groups up tc0 their eyes In hire purchase.

CHRIS WELCH

RICHIE HAVENS is not just a singer - he is a communicator.

Through his music, he asks people to look n1 them­selves, try and understand themselves and then under stand those about them.

His message 1s peace, love and happiness with In and without ourselves.

" Communication i, the de­c1din~ factor," he says, "the deciding factor as to what can be really good or bad in the world.

What we've found out Is that there is an individual negativism. lf it were a mass negativism, we could at least see it and do something about it. But if it is individual, then we can't deal with it"

Havens is making his first visit to Britain and on June 5

Born in Brooklyn in 1041, he Is the eldest ~on of nine children and his early life was tough, over!lhadowed by tho violence that is port of thr everydoy llfe In lhc ghcttoe, of New York

At 14, he organised a gospel group, the McCrea Gospel singers.

Although Richie ls not religious in the sense of being a strict practitioner of the Christian religion, he says, " I never doubted that there was a God as long as J can remember. It's something I've always known, but I asked too many questions that they couldn't, or wouldn't, answer So l had to find out for myself. I had to ask myself.

"But there is an order to the way we do things. A Jot of people think there is chaos, but it's one force working against another force and it's up to you to know which part of the order you're working for. I think I picked the positive side."

CONSTANT This constant state of self­

appraisal caused him to drop out of high school just before graduating. He left home at 17 and a succession of jobs -messenger boy, restaurant counterhand, doll factory worker - followed.

He gravitated to Greenwich Village and became involved with the musicians, artists and writers who made it the focal point for their new ideas. By 1962, he began playing guitar and singing and was drawn into the urban folk revival.

He sang around the village coffee houses, gaining ex­perience, and then in 1963 was invited to join a tour sponsored by the Ford motor company. he shared the bill with Nina Simone, Mongo Santamaria and Herbie Mann.

"Audiences are just people - that's the way I look at 1l," he says, "and it's always been like that in the States unless I'm working a strictly college audience." An essen• tial part of hts performance anywhere is to feel an empathy with the au-dience. " I want to get everybody to join in. I know the first couple of songs I'm going to do, then I leave it. I contend that I don't pick the songs - the audience does. I've had people come up to me after a show and have a 11st with them of songs they had wanted me to do and I've done them all, down the line.

" They've been thinking them down there and I've just done them. So everybody is giving and receiving on that side."

He describes his music as mixture of pop, jazz, folk and blues - "they're nil there at the same time in each song.''

Richie says of the material he does: " Most of them, I think, are part of my philoso­phy of realisation. My own songs are my communication. The kind of songs 1 write take time in coming down to a simple text

" I get an idea then I forget 1t until it happens again. Then it comes out simple. I think in terms of everyworld, not everyday things."

Richie Havens is still some­thing of an underground performer, particularly in Britain, but he thinks that isn't a bad thing.

" Because of more commu­nication - radio and tele­vision - new demands are being created There are new people we have not heard from yet, but when we do there wlll be rapid changes 1n music."

THE MOTHERS Of Inven­tion start their first full British tour in Birming­ham tomorrow (Friday).

Whether the Mothers or Birmingham will ever be the same again after the experi­ence, we shall just have to wait and see.

There have been so many attempts to explain what the Mothers are about - inclding several by their leader and mastermind, Frank Zappa - and each has merely added to the confusion.

Like the man said about ja1.1. : " If you have to ask you 'II never know."

The Mothers are fine musicians and very funny. But their main func­tion is to point up the lunacies of the so-called normal world.

The trouble is that their targets arc so diffuse and constantly shifting that it becomes dangerous to tic labels on them, like revolutionaries, anarchists, satirists and the rest.

They are. however, consistent in their championing of the individual against the conformist, pre-packed machine- ruled way of life of socie~ in the 1960s,

And that means they are against the conforming drop-out as much as the politician dripping platitudes.

Zappa himself has been the sub­ject of much purple prose from journalists trying to let their readers into the secret.

He's been called " a spindly­framed, sharp-nosed gamester whose appearance suggests some of the more sinister aspects of Edgar Allan Poe, John Caradine and Rasputin."

Or " an El Creco portrait after six months with those pencil-happy subway artists who are big on filling in moustaches, beards and lots of flowing hair."

All agree, however, that in per­son, Zappa is a man of persuasive charm and, it is rumoured, holds doors open for ladies.

He also has a penetrating wit which doesn't always transfer too well to print.

On the transatlantic phone this week - he called at exactly the time he said he would - Zappa announced one .addition for the Mothers on their tour, trumpeter Buzzy Cardner who is a brother of the group's tenor saxist, Bunk Ca,dne,.

1 asked if Z appa had seen Tony Pal?'er's All My Loving TV film, in which he is interviewed and told him that the National v 'iewcrs And Listeners ' Association was taking legal action against BBC-TV for showing it .

Did they, I wondered, have simi­lar censorship problems in the States.

He said he hadn' t seen the film but warmed up on TV censorship.

" look, you guys over there are so advanced in the sh.ape of things you can catch on TV. Believe me, you would die if you had to si t in front of an American TV set,

For the price or a pint (or a small cover charge in some places), you can enjoy every­thing from striptease and drag shows to old-time music hall, go go dancen, discotheques and every variety of live group from Tubby Hayes to underground pop and folk.

"Then there is the Phoenix In the We.st End, which pre­sents modern Jazz, and varl• ous other places !Ike the Iron Bridge Tavern, In East India Dock, whic.h has a sort of gentle trad jazz as we.II a.s a corned) group called the Levity Lancers. That's anothtr place that's packed out most nlghls.

" I think it's fair to say that music attracts cu.stomers and that's good for the trade. And Jt's amaz.ing how far some people will travel to a pub if it's presenting what they want 10 see or hear."

Folk scene IS The history of popular

music in this country is lled closely with the pub world. The ,-olden age of pubs was the Victorian times, when brewers built their premises to cater for live entertain­ment,

Indeed, these atmospheric eslablishments virtually created the music hall tradl· lion of the turn of the Cl'ntury. Many of these prem­ises still ulst and thrive In the late sbtties.

II is extremel)- unlikely that the- British jazz scene would be as strong u lt is (and there ue still weak spots or course) if It weren't for licensed premises. In many cases, the only place a frustrated musician can play Is al a small gig al his local pub.

This has Jed to the pre• dominance of jazz (and folk) clubs in pubs. Places like the Tally Ho, Kentish Town, in London and the Kensington Hotel feature jazz daily, while the Bull's Head, Barnes, hu achieved an International rep­utation as the home of all that is besl In modrm Jaz~.

On the pop scene, too, there are many pubs presenting regular pop music. Fan: club, at the Northcote Arms, South· all, Middlesex, presents the but of the contemporary pop groups people like Blodwyn Pig, Keef Hartley and others, as well as booking visiting American attractions like Howlin' Wolf.

Others Include the Railway Arms, Wealdstonc, and the

Music in public houses, or course, \·a.rles In sophis-tication from the simple pianist providing the music for a sing-song, to the unswerving dedication of London's country and western pubs, which provide dally sessions of the mu.sic.

In fact, the countf)' music pubs are one of the success stories of recent years. Griffin Catering, which o"'ns pubs in the London area, started a few years ago presenting country music in one pub. JI has since grown to cover a chain of country pubs throughout the London area.

They have now opened a showcase for the music: the Nashville Room, in West Kensington, opened a few months ago and presents the besl in country entertainment twice a day, seven days a week. And the opening was attended by top country names like Chet Atkfos and Mary Reeves, wife of the late singer, Jim Reeves.

Of course, music in pubs is not confined to London There

is an active music scene in bars all over the country. But London does offer a greater ,&ri ety of music, and one brewery executive said that it appeared to be easier in the capital to obtain a music licence, which Is essential.

Music in licensed premisl's woukf not be possible without the encouragement and goodwlll of the brewers and the tenanll and landlords. Most leading brewery chains actively approve or and sup. port any of t.hei1 tenant land­lords who provide entertain­menl.

A spokesman for Ind Coope, who are a national concern, told MM that t1tey as a company we re very keen to see music and other types of entertainment in their pubs. "There is always a place for music In pubs whether it's just a juke box or Jive entertalnmenL

" In our pubs we offer cvuythlng accordink to the requirements of the custom­ers. Down In the East End, for example, drag goes very we ll, although ii wouldn"t in, sll)', Welbridge. And pl-.ces like the \ Vaterman's Arms are packed every night.

The Chef and Brewer chain have around 20 pubs in the central London area and a spokesman said that about 12-JS of these. have some sorl of music, whether live or on juke boxes. " \Vr are introducing music more and more into our premises," said the spokes­man.

•• It's essential today to se.11 a pub and this means provid• ing more than just drink," said a spokesman for the Anchor chain or hotels and taverns.

The compan) has around 112 licensed premises (" They are more than pubs. We call the.m la\·erns because every onr offers full catering facil­ities .. , and hne introduced a new discotheque s)'stem at six of them. These are Dlscodines

THE th~~~gho:~ub Bri~:~ unique and a lr,-bute to sustained enthusiasm.

Most people who run folk clubs don•t make money. The folk field isn•t a bi~ money spinner. The majority of the professional performers make a reasonablt> living out of the clubs, and semi.professionals find It a useful aux.iliary income earner.

Estimates of the number of folk clubs in Britain vary. The turnover of clubs is rrcular, but for every one that cl~s another opens. The £oghsh Folk Dance And Song Sodet)' list o\·er 300 in Britain but probably the number is nearer soo.

The last few years has seen a stabilising of 1he folk club set-up. As the "boom," false or otherwise, has settled and folk music has established itself firml}, the would-bf: exploiters of the situation ha\·e dropped away realising that the plcl<lngs are few except for performers.

Thr beauty of the folk club scene is that it is \·ery much an "a:rnateur" business. People run dubs because they enjoy It and have the s.atisrac­tion of scelng a successful club prosper.

This may seem a little. idealistic in a day and age of quick pro6ts but It Is this very framework of enthusiasm and love of the muslc tha.t has prevented Tin Pan Alley and the Mr Bigs or show business from movJng in and eventua.l­ly killing the situalion by over-e.xploitatlon.

Wizz and Alan, a touch of the Moses -Aaron syndrome A SONGWRITER whose

songs " rank in compe­tence alongside those by Paul McCartney and Leonard Cohen." That is Wizz Jones' opinion of Alan Tunbridge who pro­duced eleven songs for his United Artists album, "Wizz," released this month.

Alan, a cartoonist and com• merciaJ artist by profession, used to run a folk club in Putney and now concen• tra tes on producing songs Wizz. He refers to the newly-blossomed partner­ship as "' The Moses•Aaron syndrome.''

PUBLIC " Moseft was a bit shy and always

let hi !t brothe r Aa ron act as his mouthpiece to the public,'' he exp la ins. " I'm not rea lly shy but I prefe r to be In the background with W lz1 sing ing a way out front. We both like it this way. Beside$ I'm a lousy guitarist anyway."

Alan and Wiz.z fi rs t met in Com­wa ll in 1959. They worked ln a hotel du ri ng the day .tnd at night Ala n wro te poems while Wizz played the guitar In various clubs. The fi rs t song they worked out toge ther was inspired by some sa tirical verses Tunbridge wrote a bout the hotel

staff. Over the last ten years they kept in sp-0ra• d ic contact. •

Both are manied with children a nd feel that their mus ica l expression refl ects something of their maturity as family men. Wlzz, In particular, p resen t folk scene-es­pedall y in London,-is dominated by a lot of daz.zling technical vir­tuosi ty in the " authentic country blues s tyle," the music In general is iml• talive a nd superficial In its att itudes.

SUPERB .. I look fonva rd to about

four or five years from now when a lot of these kids who are fantastic on the guitar a re going to be superb because they are going to s tart saying some thing for themselves. At the moment they are just trying to sound like

BY RAMSAY WOOD old scratched 78s-that's fine as far as It goes, but it's boring and you might just as well play the record."

On his partnership with Alan, he says: " It takes me about three months to learn one of Alan's songs well. What I like about them is their sim­plicity because this gives me a Jot of leeway as a performer. I enjoy sing• ing,, a well.constructed song and In getting it right. And don't believe what Abn says about not being any good on the guitar. I th1nk he sings his own songs better than anybody."

Says Alan: ·• Folk music, as it is called, Is the only field of public expression where my kind of writing can find an outlet. It's a very narrow world--klnd

of a cast-off. It's not pop and It's not serious music really. The only reason that I write as 1 do Is that I thlnk that I see things other people miss or that I can express them more accurately.

"As a draughtsman I am interested ln accurate ob­servation and no doubt this attempt at accunte description can-ies over Into my songs. I dislike sentimental or opiniona­ted lyrics-anything that gets pretty sUmey or tries to tell you what to do •

" Frankly, I'm tired of hav­ing people trying to tum me on to whatever their kick happens to be. I con­sider It an invasion of privacy. You take the cur­rent vogue for freedom --every song has got to have It In somewhere, a

little bit about • Free­dom, freedom, freedom,' with a chorus echoing it ln the background.

"What I'm looking for is somebody who Js free from a concept of free­dom and not a slave to It.

" If you want my viewpoint, I prefer to pose questions rather than attempt to answer them. AU my songs attempt to point out situations, but they don't say Join the Salva-tion Anny or Join Krlshnamurtl or get Adult Education or any­think like that.

11 J don't have any answers but I can see questions all over the place. If my songs ask any questions then that tends to even II out more, for by hav­ing the question accura• tely posed It ls auto­matically answered. A problem clearly seen ceases to be a problem."

Last word from Wlzz: " I don't have anything to say - that's why l slng Alan's songs."

Bobby Clancy toured In the US and Canada at the height of the folk revival in 1963. He first worked as a soloist and later with an American girl Sharon Collen.

When he returned to Ireland in 1964 he teamed up with his sister Peg who had already made albums for Folk Legacy and Trad it f on, the specialist folk music label owned by brother Paddy.

HEAVEN HELP US IF WE LOSE JETHRO AT BIRMINGHAM Town Hall we wit­nessed the most in­cred ible musical experi­ence in a long, long time thanks to the amazi ng Jethro Tull.

Write to Melody Maker, 161 Fleet Street, E.C.4. You could win your favourite album.

Thanks a million Ian, Glen , Clive and Martin for fantastic music and the most entertaining act on the sc~ne- today - LYN and CHERY PERKINS, Orolt­wich, Wares.

Groups IT SEEMS as though new and upcoming soul groups are never mentioned m MM There are many talented <;oul bands over the coun­try if people would bother to lc,ok and listen to them rath~r than sticking to the boys who've already made the t'li~ time-. There are man) lalent!t still to be dis covt red. - Miss J. STAM­MLRS, London W 11.

I AM getting a little bored with this fawning over the Mt11•d) Blues They have Pit '- l"d their hest snd are no"' t"lecumtn~ much of •

sameness in the music they produce.

·• Days Of Future Passed •· was a brilliant album and held gigant ic promise for the next one which was good but not up to the previous stand• ard "' Threshold Of A Dream " is alriiht but much too much hke "Lost Chord•· to be called good or progress­s1ve.

The Moody Blues did hold the potential to be the great­e1t thing since the Beatles but those Days or Future have sadly passed. - DA V I 0 LEWIS, London N.W.11.

SURELY when a group is generous enough to play for free at a concert, the least they are entitled to from the audience is politeness. At the first of Camden Fringe Festival's free concerts at Parliament Hill Fields, Pete Brown's group had to com•

ence. When an audience has oairl

to attend a concert such be· haviour might be excusable but never at a free cona:rt. -BRYAN ASHBY, Harrow, Middilt.

I'VE RECENTLY seen both Jon Hiseman's Colloseum and Terry Reid's Fantasia and noticed the similarity in style of both bands to the old Graham Bond organisa­tion If this is to be the new sound of '69 then Bond should quit looning in the States and come back to show them how it should be done.

Bond's old LP's includinR the fantastic "There's A Bond Between Us " featured some• thing of a superJtroup line-up -Ginger Baker, Jack Bruce, DtC'k Heckstall-Smith and Bond - PETE SA UNOERS, Brunel University, London.

Note IT'S INTERESTING to note that nearly all of the re­vived 45s that ha ve recently done so well in the cha rt have been soul or coloured discs.

Good thouih some or these oldies are, their acceptance several years after their birth surely indicates that the soul sounds of yesterday are as good 1( not belter than those of today and that s~ul music has not prowcssed since 1965. -PAUL WINFIELD-NICHOL­SON, Ruls1ip, Middlesex.

IT JS evident that frustra­tion is growing in Scotland over the lack of blues con• certs especially when there are now so many of those bluesmcn we want to hear appearing in England

It's evident too thal pro­moters are going to do noth­ing to satisfy the ever in­creasing " would be " aud­ience,. Therefore it's neces-

I WAS deeply shocked to learn of the tragic accident in which Martin Lambie died, he will be sadly missed both as a musician and as a person. I hope the othe r members of the group will recover with great speed and will see fit to continue as a group because I'm sure Martin would have wished it so. -J. COX, London SW7.

COULD YOU pass on sympathy to all friends and relatives of Martin Lambie and J ea n ie Frank­lin from myself and all those who thought the

GOODMAN: unchallenged supremacy

SO JOHN PEEL and Pete Drummond have the most bo ring voices on Radio One. Could it be that they have enough variation in their prvgrammes and therefore have no need to sound ex­citing or initiate us in the intricacies of making shep­herd's pie? I think so.

Neither Mike Rnven or Humph have particularly thrilling voices. Their shows, however. are of such hiRh quality that they have no need to st imulate interest by the use or catch phrases or inane jokes -IAN HAGUE. Moseley, BlrmlnRham.

AFTER LISTENING to the " Hollies SinR Dylan ·• I can only lament the passinR of the Rreat group who produced such heaut1ful sounds on "Butterfly."' Come on _Hol• lies, Graham Nash was right Dylan is not your music.­RONALD STEWART, Glas­gow, Scotland.

MAILBAG wnlers are mis· sing out Instead of moan­ing and argu!ng about the merits of various pop, jazz and folk musicitms they should be listening to in• credible LP's like "Blood, Sweat and Tears," "Those Who Arf Aboul To Die,"

"Taste" and "Stoned-henge."

These are the result.s of quality musicians foraelting aboul labels and 1ust concen• tratm& on playin& superb music. - D. A. WHITFIELD, Romford, Es.se11.

THE UNTIMELY death of Martin Lambie of Fairport Convention is indeed a sad

loss to a very excell ent, yet ser iously underated group. I, with many others, hope that this tra­gedy will not deter the group from continuing to make excellent music and

from his unchallenged supremacy on his instru­ment did more than any­one else to lift Jazz and its pop derivations up from the violin-ridden, schmalzy saxes image of the thirties and make a whole new appeal to youth. - PETER NEWBROOK, Cobham, Surrey.
