[445sd]

LOVE IT! LINK IS THE KING! THE DRUMMER IS SO COOL 6 FUNKY TOO!

[MegaSwan2]

Fantastic recording, Link was a top bloke and the late great Charley Charles on drums, who was spotted on this broadcast by members of Loving Awareness who he later joined and they went on to become the Blockheads.

[MrJETCITY]

Beautiful Guitar Tone

Fantastic film...Link sounds great and that drummer is one of the finest i've heard.

[stevemangler1]

Wow - Is this ever good - !!!!!!! - Thanks so much .

Great job man .

That's Charlie Charles on drums by the way - Ian Dury + The Blockheads !

[YeungyBassMasta]

i wish there was a download for this song

[brucey39]

link Ray .Heaviest guitar in the 50s

[jesuscomplex]

the drummer from my band reckons its dennis davis i'm not sure but he played with bowie if it is him

[stillphil]

@jesuscomplex Nah that ain't Dennis - very good guess for the style and time period but I've hung out with Dennis this man and Dennis look nothing like each other. Look at the Ian Dury and The Blockheads cover of "Laughter" and you will see Charlie Charles, the drummer here with Link's band.

[jesuscomplex]

@stillphil thanks man

[ptdatnurpipensmkit]

,an i was born the wrong decade

[teetomthomas]

@TotallyWired18

It is the late Charley Charles. Later of The Blockheads. And yes. Funky as Hell.

[WilliamMattarmustdie]

[herbalenquiry]
