#onthisday in 1995 Gene went out on tour with special guests Elcka

NME this week in 1995. I saw Gene at Leeds on this tour supported by Elcka. Fantastic night! @MartinRossiter @elckaband

30 years ago today at 7am, Richey Edward’s checked out of the Embassy Hotel in London. To this day it’s unknown what happened to him. He was officially declared dead in 2008, he would’ve been 40 years old at that point. Rest in peace.

Here’s 4 gig reviews from the Melody Maker, 30 years ago this week. A very early @elckaband gig S*M*A*S*H at the legendary CBGB club. @DavidMcalmont early solo gig @dodgy at the famous @kingtuts Which of these gigs would you like to have been at?

On this day in 1996 @elckaband played @ExeterCavern.

@OGRolandRat Both quoted mod culture as an influence. As somebody raised in that culture (and a collector of that music), Blur felt closer to type and my preference. Although, in the 90s, I was more likely to be listening to The Sea Horses, Elcka, Shed Seven or Long Pigs.

The most pernicious of English drugs… Nostalgia

As you watch the Aurora this evening, it’s worth reflecting that you’re getting a rare direct glimpse of the power of Nature. Those charged particles causing the atmosphere to glow came from a sunspot complex 17 times the diameter of Earth and traveled across 90 million miles at a million miles an hour. Without our magnetic field to protect us, our atmosphere would have been lost to space long ago. Those colours in the sky are Nature reminding us that we’re very lucky to be here amidst the violence. And perhaps therefore also reminding us not to shite it all up :-)
