Hey up! LA guns gig sould be a blast!! Adams recent gig in Hull was spectacular as usual and i couldnt think of anyone else id rather have as support, can you??
The idea behind my promotion company is too bring Rock n Roll back into Hull along with a whole load of fun and excitement! The scene is predominantly indie-fied and I dont know about you guys out there but i find these concerts dull dull dull so I just want to bring great bands who put on great shows big or small and if theres an audience for it then im gonna keep on working the magic until the flame flickers and dies but as you guys know, Rock n roll is eternal right!
RE: Ian Hunter. He crawled up his own ass and died bored shitless!!!! Dont know what hes doing but i havent seen him in hull for along long time.
Check out his Black September stuff it rules(circa83 - 85, well he was 40 when he was in rags.....)
If anyone wants any copies of demos or the video i could probably do copies for peeps oK.

"Ian Hunter was only ever really relative when he was in Black September , a great Hull goth band, and to me his style was never suited to The Rags"

Sorry mate and don't mean any offense but i thought Ian Hunter was ace with Rich Rags. Great image and i loved hiz vocalz too. Actually, i don't remember you on any demoz to be honest lol.. again no offense [img]smile.gif[/img]

[Carl I.]

I'm all wacky now. Are we talking about THEE Ian Hunter, or was there some other guy actually ballsy enough to have that name in the same style of music???

[Andii Vamp]

Nah Carl... not THEE Ian Hunter lmao! Ian Hunter of the ace Rich Rags mate. I loved that band.

[Andii Vamp]

Btw, what demoz were you singing on mate? I have had Rich Rags demoz for yearz here(Need again gah!) but it was all Ian Hunter singing to my knowledge anyway... maybe the very very early Rich Rags stuff when the band first started? I never got to hear if so [img]frown.gif[/img]

I still have my Psycho Deadheads From Outta Space CD here that get'z played on a regular basis still and i miss the fucking demoz i had, bloody ex stole mine.... need again [img]frown.gif[/img]

Ian I have a question, I remember seeing the heartbreak angels at a pub in Leeds, the one near the bus station (name escapes me for the moment)OK I'm wandering off here a bit. question is were some of the guys from heartbreak angels in the Sex Kittens?

Andii Vamp - Absolutely no offence taken at all its just my personnal opinion and one which as a member of Rags and knowing Stu and the majority of the Hull Glam rock scenesters very well i feel im entitled to give but I never take offence so no worries on that score.
I just have a different perspective on things knowing Ian as I did quite well and the fact that he came from a gothy background and was, in my opinion, suited to that style way better than the Rags but when i was in Rich Rags we leaned towards a more out n out party sound and thats what every gig was and we were the best show around at that time without a doubt!! It was quite strange going to see them with Ian in the fold and when he first joined he definitely found it hard to set his own stall out and basically just reproduced what had come before him but i wont argue with the fact that by the time the cd came out they definitely had the image and persona's working big time and Ian was never short of anything to say and was way too intelligent to be in a rock band!
The final gig in Hull was, how shall we say,interesting! Stu punched Ian, Ian punched stu, guitars flew kits exploded...It basically ended how it began!!
I was a fresh faced 17(just turned) year old when Stu finally managed to persuade me to join his band Rich Rags and I loved every minute of it we had a ball. Together we managed to shake a few asses and have many good times but I shot myself in the foot by trying to be a god before my time. I never wanted to leave Rich Rags at all but the attraction of London was too much and Stu definitely had a right to be pissed at me(we never spoke for years) but i was so young and starry eyed i just had to indulge my gut feeling but it was definitely a mistake.
I always remember walking into the Kerrang offices to plug a gig and bumping into Alison Joy, her face was a picture!! She had single handedly been responsible for keeping a photo of Stu and myself in kerrang for months!! It was only meant to be an ad for a new drummer n bassist but she liked it that much she invented an award that was just for us, something like 'hottest picture ever' or something like that but when i bumped into her at Kerrang hq she had the photo blown up to picture size and hung in her workspace it was quite a sight! Ray Zell had tried to burn it on many occasions he was that sick of seeing it apparently!Well it must have been better than seeing dave reynolds ugly mug on a daily basis right!!
Well im sure ive bored the fuck out of to many people already(IAN?? I never heard of him!I was actually Kim in RR)


People!! Stay Reckless.....

Jonni Jade,
Hey how are you my friend? The question you pose is relative but im not entirely sure how!! My memory only lets me recall certain things and while i definitely recall The sex Kittens(had an ace demo by them - once) im not sure if thats the band that mutated into Heartbreak angels but it very well could be.
