One For The Oldies - Graham Parker Profile BBC4 10PM Tonight

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Used to love that little fella back in the day before the day

 

[Binney on acid]

Saw him a few times at The Dome and once at The Centre, on the squeezing out sparks tour. He was always excellent.

Followed by "Oil City Confidential" - the superb Dr Feelgood documentary at 23:35. I have put a post on the "Wilko Johnson" thread highlighting this and am waiting for a Mod. to move it from archive limbo back to the main board. I don't recall anything in it that would offend Amazon's delicate sensibilities.

Read the reviews of Wilko's farewell gigs - the great man is going out with a bang.

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

The Runaways is also on Film4 tonight which is well worth a watch

 

[birthofanorange]

Thoroughly enjoyed that....now looking forward to Dr. Feelgood.

 

[blue'n'white]

Good documentary - saw Graham parker loads of times back in the 70s
Always good value
The programme before - all about pub rock in the 70s was pretty good too. Loads of favourites there like Dave edmunds, The Motors, Ducks Deluxe and the wonderful Inmates
Certainly better than "Hand Relief" or whatever its called on BBC1 !

 

[birthofanorange]

Yep! Part1 last week was excellent too. (Comic relief = Hand relief with a smile)

I'll happily second this recommendation, an excellent watch.
