Re Vic Godard

>>the Leopards have beenhis backing band at his recent shows.<<

Saw him earlier this year at Bowlie Fest - he was great. I think his backing
band was The Bitter Springs, whose LP Peel was playing about a year ago.

Peelie was asked to DJ at Bowlie, but grumpily refused when he was given a
late slot on Sunday night. I think it was his loss.

In the mid '80s Rough Trade put out a compilation: "A Retrospective 1977 -
1981"

This LP is an essential buy! Not sure if you can still get it, though!

Also of interest is the novel version of "Ambition" by the early Mary Chain
(Sounds to me like you can't move in Scotland for Vic Godard fans!)

Cheers,
