Favorite British band

[maltsr]

And many more!

 

One of them is English, another member born in England, so may I include U2 as British?

What's to quibble about? They speak Engrish, right?

The Irish members on the forum may not see it that way

Are we going to do a separate Irish band thread?

[Harry P.]

If we do, I vote for Sinead O'Connor!

After U2, of course...

Probably all those Dexys Midnight Runners and Pogues fans. You know how they can be.

Great choice! How about Thin Lizzy and Van Morrison (from Northern Ireland)?

[Ridge Rider]

Iron Maiden

[Harry P.]

Don't forget the various bands Eric Clapton was in... Blind Faith, Cream, and Derek and the Dominoes...

If that happens, let me mention Tommy Makem and The Clancy Brothers. I spent many an evening at Tommy Makem's Irish Pavilion, on East 57th Street, marinating my brain cells with Black bush while listening to Rebel music.

Van Morrison... close enough to British, I guess. My favorite Thin Lizzy song...

... previously mentioned John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and the Yardbirds, home to Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page, but I'm sure you knew that.

I saw him every so often during my Trump Tower days. He lived at The Galleria, on East 57th Street, with Carla Bruni. After his son died in 1991, she moved into Trump tower.

Yes.

In fact I posted a Yardbirds song with Jimmy Page on lead guitar earlier.

You're such a name dropper...

You're such a name dropper...

It's all part of being a boulevardier without the money. I schmoozed around with the right people in my younger days.   Google "David Mugrabi". I used to get booze for him, his brother and friends when the parents were out.

Oh, I forgot to mention Queen was the opening act.

 

I saw Queen supporting Mott the Hoople at Leeds Town Hall in 1973 - great gig!

Must have been the same tour
