Yay! You did it! Thanks, Neil - great rendition of an awesome song, a fave since the stunning Peel session (now who out there can get those released? And do any gigs survive? That'd make a heck of a reissue!).
Thanks guys, much appreciated. Another coming very soon, a cover of my sister Hazel's classic "Will you". A while back I did see some web references to some of the Peel recordings, sadly apart from "Fun City" which we filmed for German TV I can't think of any other live performances that were filmed of The Flys.
Somewhere in someones vault there is a video of "Name dropping", I'm not sure if it ever aired.
So that's where that Fun City came from, I'd wondered! I'll settle for half-decent audio anyway. Saw you with the Adverts, my two favourite bands of the day on one bill, I remember nearly keeling over when I read you were both playing 10 mins up the road. Wish I'd had me Woolies tape recorder but I doubt I'd have gotten away with it!
it's neil of jesse garon and the burger kings. remember me? anyway, i love all the songs you've been posting, especially "alex murphy", which i bought and listen to on my ipod on my way to work everyday. i live in toronto now, got two boys, liam and owen. i'd love to see you someday and catch up. i'm still writing tunes and will hopefully post sometime. will let you know when i do. cheers.
Damn baby! You are gooooood! I love this song AND not because I live in the sticks of Eastern Tennessee ;)
