He was late, caught up in the Rosie I believe, but it was a fantastic show. Black Mass...mid/late 70s. If you weren’t there you’ll never understand just how epic those Friday and Saturday nights were. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WKRP Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Its now 16 days since Stu Peters came off air at Manx Radio and still no sign of any communication from the Communications Commission, who have the job to rule on the affair. Should they put Peters back or to hang him out to dry! This is possibly the biggest test the comms people have had to do, yet they can't make the call. Manx Radio seem willing to totally bury the story and probably bring Peters back on the early early breakfast show in a few months time. Surly it cant take this long to come to a conclusion.

I'm not sure that it is the Communications Commission's job, because I suspect they are still waiting on how Manx Radio handles it. As discussed earlier on this thread the processes and responsibilities seem ill-defined. You're right that the main response will be to try to bury it though.

TheTeapot Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I'm kind of hoping Manx Radio do reinstate him. Not because I think they should, but because I think the froth will be funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris did say he was waiting for a steer from the CC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very weak leadership in the face of the hysterical followers of a cabal on social media. 8 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gettafa Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I'm still stuck at the Douglas Head Where it was said the LIverpool girls could all be found (according to the Dubliners) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have lost a lot of fantastic leisure venues but I actually felt personal bereavement when they shut the Head. Remember thinking at the time that if they can't make that place work they can't make anything work. I guess cold hard cash, the site was simply more valuable than the business. What a way to run a railway. Fond memories of Douglas Head principally Black Mass doing Steely Dan covers and finishing every session with Freebird. But, being a bit of a folk rocker, does anyone remember Triad at the Long Room at the Castle Mona. Or indeed Dave Sayle’s Wednesday Folk Club further up the hill?

Donald Trumps Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 18 hours ago, Gladys said: One of the best albums was Made in Heaven, IMO. It is "easy" I suppose for all you musos, but it was very poignant and had the best ever Christmas track. Music, like any other art, just has to resonate, it doesn't matter if it isn't technically or critically the best, just if it is the best for you and if you "get something" from it. I prefer Maid In Heaven 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to his biography Luke Kelly was here but long before the band was formed. There is some great footage on Youtube of Ronnie singing with The Pogues on the Late Late Show.

Shake me up Judy Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I seem to remember they came over several times, and it would've been with Luke until he died in the early '80s (?) Really enjoyed the Bill Nelson post Donald. Great stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, used to go to the Folk Club every Wednesday, saw many star acts - Jasper Carrot, Mike Harding, Mike and Laurie, latterly also Al, are some who I can just recall, but there were loads of them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
