One of the band had a floating restaurant on the Tyne. As I recall the food was okayish.. Surprisingly, there was nothing about Lindisfarne in the restaurant's decor.
I doubt @Achim1811 has heard of Jimmy but you never know. Probably now as un PC as the German’s episode in Fawlty Towers
On the contrary, bet he watched “Auf Wiedersehen, Pet“ religiously
Not quite what I remember in London and the South East as a 21 year old in 1979 but my memories are definitely in “black and white” or perhaps “greyscale” and certainly not in colour. It was grim but it was that grimness and reaction against the establishment that produced UK punk. From a music perspective me being 19 in 1977 was absolutely perfect. Perhaps being 19 in 1967 might have been in the same league but that’s it.
You are right! Some stuff to check....thanks for the hint!
Being 17 or so in Germany in 1968 and the following "Deutscher Herbst" was for many of my generation the break into real life.
I was in German Bundeswehr from 1972 to 1980. Hard decision to do so in those times. But as a fresh married man I never regretted taking this decision.
Konstanz was in the French sector. Very occasionally the young 'soldats' would venture from their barracks into town - they always looked thin and hungry. Later, when the French garrison closed, the barracks were turned into student flats - sort of 'the pen is mightier than the sword' outcome. (and just what did happen to the promised Peace Dividend?!)
Interesting album which actually sounded good on the WiiM amp and speakers from a Denon Ceol Piccolo…John DeVore (on YT) leads me to this record.
It is so fantastic, try it!
(And it is also a showpiece for your gear. Not for spectacular effects but you'll know what is important!)
