Message: | Yes, I thought you might want the evidence! (A Nige Smith badge - it's too tempting an offer to resist(!)). However, I'm pretty illiterate when it comes to computer stuff, so the best I can do is to scan the lot and send it as a document. Better than nothing. Stand by your beds! Coming to a computer near you...soon! Cheers. | |
Hmmm. If you must. But it may wind up being too small to be of practical use. You must have an art package on your computer that can save jpegs. Isn't there a twelve year old nearby that can show you what to do? | ||

Message: | Yes, I've raided my archive and located a very sepia-tinted programme for 'Bembridge Young Community Club's 7th Annual Musical Production of Music For You' at the Pavilion Theatre, Sandown on 1st March 1975, featuring, apart from Bembridge Young Community Concert Band, The Wight Musical Society and Bembridge School Orchestra...yes, you guessed it...the Crazy Sound Of the Nab Funk Band. To be honest, it's the only gig I do actually remember! Don't know what we played, but we were definitely there. Probably the first time I've looked at that programme since then. I knew it would come in useful one day!!! | |
Hmm.. 1975. That was before I left. But I don't remember that at all. Well that does it you'll have to send me a copy. Send me a descent sized jpeg (2 or 3 Meg) to johneastaughhassomestuff cheesybits com (see instructions above) I could do with a copy of the "pic from the local rag" as well (I do remember that). And if you send me an address I will send you a rare and valuable Nige Smith (The Syd Barrett of Nab Funk) Badge as thanks. | ||

Message: | Re my message of 27/10...What, a second gig! - was there one? I'm still reeling 35 years later from the first! (Only joshing - I do remember an appearance on Sandown Pier, which probably wasn't the 2nd outing.) However, I have no recorded legacy of any of it, barring a photo in the local rag - it's all a bit of a blur (I don't mean the photo!), but then most things are with me. Ah well... happy, halcyon days! (Yes, it was a good laugh.) You health,sir...and a Merry Christmas to y'al1! | |
Yes there was three gigs in total if you don't count the one at the old peoples home the one at Westfield Holiday Park in Ventnor and the one at the Caravan Park near Culver. I've got no idea which ones you played at thought. Sandown Pier? That one's new to me. | ||

Message: | So...you couldn't remember my first name, y'bastards! Yes it's me, your very ex-bass player, back from the grave. I was just Googling myself (disgusting habit!) when the Nab Funk Download Page materialised before my very eyes. I couldn't believe what I was seeing...or hearing! I admire your nerve, sir. I'm not sure those 'classics' shouldn't have been left in their time capsule for a future unsuspecting public. Still, those early sorties into musical no man's land didn't deter me from my future long, varied and amazingly undistinguished playing career in my galactic journey from Bembridge via Swindon (well everyone's allowed one mistake) to the Land's End peninsula, where I reside in well-deserved obscurity, penning poetry for the odd sheep and anything else a bit slow on its 'pins'. Nab Funk – Gawd bless 'er and all who sailed in her. Yes, some things just refuse to die! What...e-mail address? – are you mad! (Witheld to protect the innocent.) Go Google yerself!...for my online 'E-Books Made Easy' (no shit, Sherlock). Adieu and fare ye well. Your Servant, &c, &c. | |
Well well good to hear from you John. I think you're far too hard on Nab Funk - we have the best excuse ever (we were only four years old). I don't supose there's any point asking if you have a copy of the second NF gig then? I will put your full name in the relevent places soon. | ||

Message: | as per comment below. it is a well known fact that cats prefer pickled onion. Pickled onion always go down well, and i should know, because I am, in fact, a cat. | |
This may or may not be true but let me ask you this one simple question. Have I at any time stated that that, "Cats Like Plain Crisps Exclusively" or "Cats Dislike All Snack-foods Except Plain Crisps"? No I have not! Now can we please stop this lallygagging and move on to the serious business at hand. | ||

Message: | dear cheesy bits, im appauled with the statement of "cats like plain crisps" because my cat lesley (a stray cat i found in the care home) likes space raiders, and the flavour he likes most is spicey, im disgusted and down right cross with this dispicable statement that i have informed the head of the care home and she said she will get her son to brick your windows, i hope your happy, you brought this on yourself, and one day if we may meet, i'll chop of your ham and feed it to matty cockle (the gay holiday rep that manages the mens pool) and he said he'll give you a good time, meet him at 6 oclock @ the red bridge in some brown speedo's, my worst regards sherman mcdoogal, have a shit day. | |
Oh dear oh dear, another new age tosser that has turned their back on conventional science. Did your cat take part in a double blind trial run under the guidelines laid down by the general medical council? I think not! Thank you for your apocryphal story about your "cat" and her "spicy" tastes. I look forward to reading the results of your peer reviewed research at some time in the future. | ||

Message: | I thought I might have seen you guys (ROTL) at the PostFest last weekend. Why don't you do more gigs like that instead of obscure stuff in peoples back gardens? | |
Nobody asks us to do them. I admit we ar'n't the worlds best self publicists but surely people that organise events like that must have heard of us. So the bottom line is that they probably don't like us - I think some people just don't get it. And the back garden gig was open to the public and was publicised as much as any of our other gigs. | ||

Message: | I want to complain. I see that in the Revenge of the Lawn Isle of Wight Festival text, you mention that a cover of "Hey Jude" was performed on a Triple Shielded Impeller Driven Filtration Unit from a Bosch XL-4721-EM. As you know I AM one to find the smallest fault, and, I'm not afraid to say, that what you wrote is in fact wrong. I was there at the Kashmir tent on Sunday just as you did that travesty of a Beatle cover, but obviously I slunk away quickly after hearing it. Now, I happen to collect dishwashers and I can tell you that what the singer played was the triple-screen, impellor-driven filtration unit of an SRS45E48GB Slimline Bosch Exxcel dishwasher, not what you wrote. Please amend, as there is no such thing as a Triple Shielded Impeller Driven Filtration Unit from a Bosch XL-4721-EM. You're just making yourself the laughing stock of dishwasher collectors the whole world over. Yours pedantically as always, Tony | |
I'm sorry Mr Cornell but I can only got with what the demented idiot said on the sound file. Until he tells me otherwise the text stands. | ||

On a brighter note Mount Ashey has a large place in my heart - used walk up there from my house in Upton as a kid...You have become members of an elite club. After previously being Person-L, R.Object and Fred Engels I now am part of KikiT VisuoSonic you can see what we get up to at: http://www.visuosonic.org. Got a not very handy gig in Cheltenham in March. Got Mick at the Quay to play with us for that FreeQuay gig the other year maybe we set up another Quay gig. Cheers Russell Morphy Richards P.S. Code BMUS is releasing a compilation album through iTunes later in the year - well every other bugger has reformed why not us...? Don't answer that. | |
--Apologies to Beamus, he posted this letter back in January right when the House of Cheese was at its most disconected and because he put a link in it he had the same trouble as Tony below. I've only just caught up with it.-- For those of you that don't know them Beam Me Up Scotty were a truly brilliant band from Portsmouth that played on The Island a couple of times. N.B. My memory is good enough to remember that I thought they were brilliant but I can remember fuck all else about them. | ||

Message: | We have been waiting in the garden in Eastbourne for ROTL to turn up at our Silver wedding do (21st July). An ice cream van on August 10th gave us false hope. Several people have died of starvation and the stalingrad type winter of january 2010 finished off most relatives over 50. I survive by sucking dew from grass and eating hedgehog poo. I feel this may predjudice my voting for bestival this year. | |
Revenge of the Lawn (being total musical sluts) would, I'm sure, be prepared to play at your wedding aniversaire so long as you pay them enough to get off the island, find them somewhere to stay, and so long as that date doesnt clash with something else (by far the most likely senario).
