Hi everyone..
Peace, i think we have found even more mutual ground, i love Dave Edmunds, i saw him in Kentish Town in 1987, Gary Moore was his guest appearance, they done Johnny B Goode together,,, wow what a night.

There seems to be a lot of bickering about whether or not this thread should be here, but i think its a great discussion.... to me RnR grew up after the 50´s, it stopped being a music type and became something that musicians have in they´re hearts. therefore i think its perfectly possible to play Folk music with a rock n roll heart, it just means your being true to yourself,,,, playing because you love it and you have something to give or something to say, which ever genre you choose, you can still be a rock n roller.
Also i know that there was a handful of British stars with record company manufactured songs, or direct American rip offs,,, i.e Tommy Steele, Terry dene, Marty Wilde,,,, But Move it was in a different class, it was written on a bus in 5 minutes by the late Ian Samwell, it was the first British rock n roll song written by the kids for the kids, delivered by a smouldering young man with an astounding band behind him. as a record, it still stands up today with anything that has been before it or after it, its up there with Heartbreak Hotel and Johnny B Goode. The only reason The Beatles were signed is because E.M.I wanted another Cliff and the Shadows... So i put it again,,, this remarkable piece of British music is 50 years old next year,,, what should we do to celebrate what it started....
