rich-joy Crazy World of Arthur Brown (6) Crazy World of Arthur Brown 23 Jun 22

Arthur, that apparent Lord of Hellfire, turns 80 tomorrow (June 24th)!!!

His legacy to music and folk culture is far deeper than one would at first expect, esp. if "Fire!" is your only experience of him (and that 60s hit is still regularly heard across the airwaves today).

A tiny taster of his Showman cum Travelling Player cum Celtic Bard personas can be glimpsed here :

but then be sure to watch the fascinating 3-part interview with Iain McNay (from both Cherry Red TV and Conscious TV, on YT in 2017 :

Pt 1    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXoGi86wfOE


Pt 2    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pkEfZjoIDU (Part 2 of 3)


Pt 3    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuTFxHw77OA


I for one, was very impressed by his breadth and depth of experience and knowledge and successful collaborations with numerous other writers, artists and musicians!!!

Oh, and Many Happy Returns of the Day, Arthur!!!


Cheers!
