DID / Peel Day

[Stuart McHugh]

see also Simon Beast, and Dickie Lee Taupin. And John Plee, of course.


>Jim WAS playing a gig Keep It Peel day. I only knew

>I managed to see him a couple of years ago when he did
>a solo gig, supported by John Moore and his sister's
>band Sister Vanilla, who were both great.
I'd been under the impression that at least one brother was involved 
in Sister Vanilla, but none were apparent either time I saw them live.

>Creation Records news page this month says:
I'm not sure that the press I saw for the compilation wasn't confused 
somewhere with that for the single. Anyway, this CD is called The 
Cure For Sickness, and has Sister Vanilla with Stephen Pastel, 
Tompaulin with Jim Reid, and, er, that's it, J&MC-wise (other acts 
include Comet Gain, Darren Hayman, and the TVPs doing a Springsteen 
cover). It's on Soup Records, who didn't  appear to have a website 
last  time I checked!
