We’re off to the Wellington pub in Radcliffe, Greater Manchester this week for an unseasonal Heavy Metal Halloween, courtesy of DJ John Brent.
Sadly, nowadays, “Almost Every Weekend At The Wellington Pub Radcliffe We Have Nites On Where Mc’s Can Join In And Show Of There Skills, Featured Mc’s Are Mc MORTY And McD, All Other Mc’s Are Welcome.” So I suspect that Mr Brent may no longer be welcome.
So, I’ve randomly picked three numbers out of a hat, and they were 2, 3 and 15. Which means you’re in line for some Triumph, Atomic Rooster and Edgar Winter.
I always had a sneaky wee liking for the melodic Maple mayhem of Triumph, even if they did seem like a bunch of egomaniacs back in the day.
Anyone who knows me will know that I am one of the worlds leading authorities on Atomic Rooster having written (and published) articles in international magazines. Even in Finland! My ludicrously large Rooster vinyl collection would shame someone who knew what shame was. Which leaves me out of it.
Finally, it’s Edgar Winter. Hurrah! I spent last Saturday night watching a DVD of a concert he die with Leon Russell back in the eighties, and make no apologies for digging out a jazzy version of ‘Frankenstein’.
Enjoy.
MP3 one – Triumph – Magic Power
MP3 two – Atomic Rooster – Devil’s Answer
MP3 two – Edgar Winter – Frankenstein
A wee bonus as well. You can never have too much Judas Priest, so here’s one of my favourites from waaaaaaay back in the day. @Genocide’ from “Sad Wings of Destiny”. A gem!
MP3 three – Judas Priest – Genocide
And here’s The Wellington, in all its glory! I wonder if Albert used to run the travel agency?

Not a bad line up of tracks on that list, not bad at all. And while I whine on here there is absolutely nothing wrong with Triumph or indeed the great Atomic Rooster. Nice guitar hook in the Rooster track, long time no hear!!!
Enjoy the weekend as it unfolds

I will do my best, but having spent all day today at the seaside, I doubt it will get better. And yes, Rooster rock!

Was that the set list from the actual Halloween Disco? If it was, I bet that Witch Hunt by Rush emptied the Dance Floor in a spectacular fashion.

But how happy would the two guys up the back in the greatcoats, supping halves of shandy have been!
Their moment of glory as they invaded(?) the dance floor for an outbreak of idiot dancing and air drums. Quality.
