In 1969 the band Blue Mink had a debut hit with Melting Pot, which reached #3 in the UK charts and our world seemed full of hope. We children of the '60s still basked in the warmth of summer '67; the 'summer of love'. I still have the vinyl.
Bombs Away for Dave Bombs Away for Dave
Yet again our brave leader rushes us into a war with no end, instead of seeking a lasting solution by cutting off the flow of money and arms - but hey, that would hurt arms sales wouldn't it?

Currently play as half a duo Steph and Al - me guitar and vocals, Steph violin.Band/artist history
I've played and sung with quite a few combo's over the years but currently play bass, melodeon and acoustic guitars in pub sessions. I used to front a three piece shanty band called Strumble Head - named after our local lighthouse - then a trio PASTAL with a talented Cellist/Clarinettist called Stephanie and a banjo player called Paul - hence PASTAL - work it out! I also play Sousaphone (Suzy - purchased for Dr Bob's Secret Remedy - a Ceilidh band) and Suzy sometimes comes to sessions too! Steph and I are a duo and enjoy performing locally with a variety of musical friends.Have you performed in front of an audience?Ship Inn, Abergwaun, Lower Town and other local venues such as The Dingle, Narberth, Pembrokeshire.

Thank you for all the plays guys - I keep meaning to re-record but Steph (violin) has been really ill and in hospital - hopefully we will soon - meanwhile I think Dodgy Dave deserves a song too!
Just a rough take with zoom recorder, me and Gibson J45 and Steph on muted violin!
Beautiful song. That covers it all really.
