Post any old song you can think of.

[ReganAndCarter]

Played at a funeral I went to quite recently as the coffin went down at the crematorium. Quality from The Quo.

Suppose they could also have played this one instead.

"Bright Side of Life" is very popular.

The great Beryl Bryden from Norwich.

In the early 1960s, pre-The Beatles, hip British teenagers dug this kind of music. Some of it really swang. There was a whole scene, with jumpers, duffle coats, poetry and reefers man...

Graham Bond was a brilliant Hammond organist, founding father of much of British rock music and leader of many different groups. He was quite mad however, heavily into drugs and "the occult", and he took his own life by (so the story goes) being run over by a tube train, having sat calmly on the tracks waiting for it.

Here he is with his best group The Graham Bond Organisation. With Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce pre-Cream, and Dick Heckstall-Smith on saxophone (IT WAS A TENOR!)

Get shut of the mouth organ and a great tune.

And now for some proper music. No mouth organs here.

Something to do with Australia and the Young (of AC/DC fame) family.

Slaughter and The Dogs 'Cranked Up Really High'. Proper punk from Wythenshawe in 1977...

Enough of the old stuff, here's something you've definitely never heard or seen the likes of before, with some of the strangest guitaristry ever...

I liked it! But I have seen and heard the likes of it before - it reminded me of Gong, especially the section with the saxophone and guitar interplay. A bit of Zappa and Hawkwind in there too.

Gong were part French, and they dressed bizarrely like this group. I'm certain they will be fans of Gong, which is a good thing.

George Young was in both bands, brother of Angus and Michael
