| ALL OF NAB FUNK'S FIRST GIG. To those of you who say that this is all puerile nonsense, I say, "What were you doing when you were 14?" (Unless, of course, you were doing something really cool when you were 14, in which case I would say, "Stop persecuting me", in a whiney voice and run away crying like a girl). |

E | 4.62 | 3:21 | 12th November 07The opening number of Nab Funk's first gig.The tape (a mexican cassette now over 30 years old) was so brittle that it snapped in the middle of this song and I had to stick it back together with sellotape (hence the jump). There is no excuse for the singers appalling timing though (other than the fact that he was shitting himself).Ian Wilson - Vocals and Elvis impersonation.

| ALL OF NAB FUNK'S THIRD, FINAL AND LOUDEST GIG. *NEW* 27th July 2007 *NEW* By this time (1974?) we had given up on playing ukuleles and trombones in public having realised that only rock musicians have groupies. The recording was done on an old cassette player and is full of perculiar stops and starts where the person that was doing the recording (GS Baby) had to guess when the songs were going to start - or thought that the song had finished because the crowd noise was louder than the "music". Nige Smith was supposed to be giving the recorder (GS Baby) cues to let him know when to start the tape but he only does this once before "Somebdy Stole My Motorbike" so most of the other songs have truncated starts, many of them have truncated ends, and in some cases, truncated middles as well. The recording quality is, as usual, appalling and is probably only of interest to people that were there (about 150 blokes and 3 or 4 girls). |
