[peel] Derby Dozen (half) & Jigs

[Karl Eldridge]

He started saying jig as a half tongue in check response to a brief concept forming around the time of being "rockist". A nod perhaps toward the idea that dominant ideologies control you with language. To have used the term gig of course meant you were fully under the control of white boys with guitars ... and that.
Incidentally by 1982 it was hard to go to a gig and see a guitar band as such. In London anyway. White funk was very much on the up and to be seen with 2 guitars base and drums was considered very passe. I guess you can blame the NME for that. The Smiths probably dragged it back again though.

     DB231 contained the usual 95 minutes of new show 16th March 1981. Dead Or Alive and Teardrop Explodes repeats.

Then DB232 is a bit of a jump to 6th April 1981. Another new show with Bodysnatchers and SLF repeats.

DB233 and DB234 are a couple of sound upgrades, 7th April 1981 and 9th April 1981. already available complete.

DB235 is another new show, 14th April 1981, with Scritti Politti's first session repeat, and the first play of Wah's second.

Finally DB236 jumps ahead again this time to 4th May 1981. A good portion of this was already available from a couple of 400 Box tapes, a couple of Mark's Mixtapes and a Karl Mixtape, though the order of some of the smaller snippets had been speculative. The Derby share not only confirms the order, but improves the sound, and completes the show.

Anyone any idea why John has in 1981 taken to referring bands' concerts as "jigs"?
