[peel] Re: That was the end of Bedward

[MARK LUETCHFORD]

Unfamiliar with this work but looking forward to hearing it - likewise I have a load of time for Mr Sherwood. Caught him at Womad mixing for Lee Scratch Perry a few years back - the fact that the Upsetter gave him such honour says more than I could ever.
Read the wikipedia entry for Mr Bedward - its amazing. Eg
"Later Bedward proclaimed that he was a reincarnation of Jesus Christ and that, like Elijah, he would ascend into heaven in a flaming chariot. He then expected to rain down fire on those that did not follow him, thereby destroying the whole world. In 1921 he and 800 followers marched in to Kingston “to do battle with his enemies.” This however didn’t result in him flying to heaven. Bedward and his followers were arrested and he was sent to mental asylum for the second time where he remained to the end of his life."

     Seconded! I taped it on one of my 1983 mixtapes but it was another year or so before I knew the artist as I forgot to not it down. I remember playing that tape to anyone i could persuade to listen to it and my friends' reactions are still seared into my memory! Also it's a slightly different version on Pay It All Back to the one on Singers And Players.

    Slightly OT, but I can't resist the urge to enthuse about the fantastic Bedward the Flying Preacher. I lost track of the number of copies of Pay It All Back that I bought and gave away. All hail the Prince - and Sir Adrian of Sherwood
