Alabama 3 playng an accoustic set at the XFM Radio station Leicester Square London on 17 May 2001, this footage has been in storage for the last 10 years due to serious health problems and numerous major surgeries, but now i am in a position to release this rare up close and intimate archive footage of some members of the Alabama 3 excluding Johhny Dope the drummer and the mountain of love the original harp player who has been replaced by Nick Reynolds, son of the Bruce Reynolds (masremind of the Great train robbery) also featuring Sir Eddie Real who usually plays the congas, on the tamborine, Segs of the Ruts fame who usually plays bass guitar, now on the accoustic rythm guitar, along with Rock Freebase or as larry love prefers to call him "Frock Homebase" on slide guitar, then of course we have the Revrend D Wayne Love the first Minister of the fisrt Presleytirian church of Elvis the divine, ex communicate on vocals and just before going on air he slips into his Adolf Hitler impression, not realizing his headphones were off and he was about to go live on radio half way through his Hitler routine, very funny . there is lots of banter between the band there is also an unexpected visit from Sean Ryder of the Happy Mondays, but only a glimpse of him thriugh the soundproof window where he appears to be powdering his nose or something.
and finally Larry Love with the velvet voice on lead vocals,
There were so many joints being smoked that we set the fire alarm off and was eventually asked to not smoke more than 3 at a time hmmmm, these guys dont get the credit they deserve, their music is incredible and i love em.
love and gratitude
