Roddy Frame !! He is a legend. He's been my hero since school. No matter what music is out there I always come back to Roddy. To meet anyone in the world - dead or alive - it would be Mr frame. Bigger brighter better. Lover...leave me..and bring the world back to me..
I just Looooove this song. Not sure if we love these artists because of their songs or if its because they remind us of our youth.....possibly both...
Roddy Frame wrote "Down The Dip" at 15 - That is just mucical genious. I play guitar and sing, but people like Roddy just understand it from the off - which saves alot of time- LOL - well in my case...
Amazing song, i have a day every now and then when i just listen to Aztec and Roddys solo stuff why that man is'nt as well known as the crap in the charts is beyond me
have loved him since the age of 14, biggest travesty in the UK music industry. He is a genius and deserves so much more recognition, an absolute star! love ya roddy!!!!! xx
Bravo pour ce post, là j'aime internet quand on y trouve de tels petits bijoux... En France, Roddy est un inconnu, sauf pour quelques rares initiés et j'en fait partie!!! Continue à nous enchanter avec ta musique bien à toi Roddy et puis si en passant tu pouvais venir gratter la guitare chez nous, ce serait le plus beau cadeau qu'on pourrait me faire....
"Strings"....off North Star..i just can't listen to it at the moment..its breaking my heart..Kimberley my beautiful girl no longer wants me and i'm not sure i can take that..I guess I'll be going Down the Dip..Arriva Derci!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Class....first saw Aztec Camera in Dingwalls in Newcastle in 83, we were stood next to Edwyn Collins...loved Roddys' stuff ever since!!...the best singer/songwriter ever ??..i don't know but personally for me he is!!
I saw Roddy touring as a guitar player with the Smith's circa 1986 in San Diego. Johnny Marr + Roddy Frame on stage together was guitar heaven. Would love to find some live footage from that tour.
You're right. It seems that the more a singer writes and sings rubbish, the more likely is to succeed. But talking about art, this guy can say his own original word.
Anybody know when this recording took place? A brilliant song and very well performed live. Love the Spanish guitar solo at the end, but Roddy -- you don't suit sleeveless Tshirts!! XX see you soon (Newcastle?)
Great song,my only bug bear is the fact that he didnt do the solo guitar break on the album.Gotta come onto youtube evrytime i wanna hear it which sucks a bit.
Roddy is fantastic. This song gives me goose pimples!, my only regret is that I haven't listened to his music for years. Thank you youtube for reminding me how brilliant he is.
Possibly one of the greatest acoustic guitarists this country ever produced. Wrote his first album at 17 and Mark Knopfler jammed with him on the second album, stopped , put his guitar down and admitted defeat.
Always loved Roddy Frame. Saw him him in concert in Glasgow several years ago just by himself on stage and my god he was good then too :-) I'd rate him up there with Neil Finn as a songwriting talent.

Ah, Roddy, with talent like this, why did you ever drop out of favour with the music-buying public?

Roddy remains underrated. I wish he'd come to America. I last saw him in Dec. '87 at the Wiltern in L.A.

The way Roddy closes his eyes and looks down at 0.43 is great. He's really feeling it, something absent from modern music.
