Re: Georgie Fame

I seen him perform last year and was spellbound, great little stories between the songs. I think Georgie and Zoot Money are the two artists that have given me a feeling of hearing "the real deal" the most.


Blatant Modernist.

Re: Georgie Fame

James Hunter is carrying the torch, musically... Very close to the early sixties Flamingo sound, I suppose...

Re: Georgie Fame

I love the snap of him outside the Flamingo - I think that is the blueprint for autumnal ivy. Perfect.

Brit jazz has long been an interest of mine, criminally underated musically and the twist on american fashion/ivy I find quite compelling.

Re: Georgie Fame

Which takes us back to Ivy inspired Charlie Watts.

As for Brit Jazz, Tubby Hayes played a legendary gig at the Slipper in Nottingham, which five minutes walk from where I live and was our mod/soul club in the 70s-early 1990s.    What goes around!

Re: Georgie Fame

I worked with Georgie's son Tristan (who's now in his band) at Abbey Rd in the late 80s..but can't say I warmed to him... he looks like a younger Neil Sullivan(?) (other half of Christine...) now...

Went to the recent gig at Ronnie's which I thought was a bit hit and miss in parts...but overall excellent and a great and interesting crowd..original Modernist Central!!

I'd love to hear "El Bandido" played again mind....


He came he saw he gave the WANKER SIGN! Moved on from Talk Bollocks now as it's well shite innit and y'all look MINGIN'..

Re: Georgie Fame

There was a great documentary about Ronnie Scotts shown on BBC4 recently which was the perfect way to understand the post-war / pre-Mod era modern(ist) jazz scene. 

I still love wandering around Soho every couple of weeks or so and seeing where I stumble upon.    There's one bit of Soho I've not been able to find for ages, odd as that seems but it just seems to be tucked away which I love and have forgotten how to find it again.

Re: Georgie Fame

Re: Georgie Fame

Bump because I just wanted to tilt in a Flamingo direction.  Pity about the blanks but imagination works wonders.  Georgie - the guy for whom I was obliged to save several weeks pocket money.  A trip to the Co-Op - in 1967?  Those funny, great little booths (as seen, more or less, in 'Strangers On A Train').
