Doune the Rabbit Hole Music Festival is only
officially a year old though it has been going
on in secret for a wee while. It is committed
to revealing a lot of good and interesting
artists from many different genres, not just
music. It plays host to film-makers,
comedians, magicians, lecturers, poets and
sculptors but most of all musicians to give
the place an incredible and truly festive feel.
The event is held in an amazing walled
garden outside Doune Castle, near Dunblane
and guests camp at the festival by the river.
Acts booked so far include, The Vaselines,
Arthur Brown (has agreed to play if his
recovery allows him to), Mike Heron, The
Trembling Bells, The Hidden Masters,
Broadcast 2000, Colorama, James Yorkston,
Houdini Dax, Alasdair Roberts, The Method,
Remember Remember and many more.
Glasgow event producers, Eyes Wide Open,
are curating an evening of psych/garage.
Doune the Rabbit Hole is a not-for-profit
festival - all the money generated from its
events goes into funding outreach
programmes and the setting up of small arts
and music schools around Scotland to give
young and disadvantaged people the chance
to learn an instrument, write, paint or just be
generally creative.

Currently featured in Shindig! Quarterly No.1 with his fab new band The Maharajas, wild
Swede Jens Lindsberg returns with a newly reconstituted version of his ’80s garage teen punk
band The Crimson Shadows with a brand new 45 on Screaming Apple. The disc features two
old Shadows songs, which have now been perfected. ‘Nightmares’ was originally included on a
number of comps back in the day but was marred by a cheesy harmonica solo; the new
version fixes this with added fuzz. Flip, ‘It’s Too Late’ only ever got to a 1986 rehearsal tape
stage, so here it is exactly how it should have sounded 25 years ago.
Lovers of the finest Swedish ’80s garage-punk have a lot to look forward to.

RedHouse Originals in Harrogate are

“Godfather of Pop Art” Sir Peter Blake.
Blake has designed some of the most
iconic and enduring album covers of all time

Paul Weller, Ian Dury, Eric Clapton, Brian
Wilson, Oasis, Band Aid and many more.
Collectors are invited to view and
purchase works during the exhibition,

Marilyn Monroe and his seminal artwork for
The Beatles’ 1967 album Sgt Pepper’s

Rolling Stones. The artist has designed the
artwork for “Boogie For Stu”; a tribute album
to Stewart featuring contributions from all four

Ronnie Wood and Charlie Watts, as well as

another CHANCE overthrow pop
Reformed, but unrepentant, the band Ronnie
Lane formed when he left the Faces, Slim
Chance, is treading the boards again.
Original members Steve Simpson, Charlie
Hart, Steve Bingham, Alun Davies and Colin
Davey are playing Ronnie’s songs in the spirit
of the band’s previous incarnations.
Films have been made, celebration concerts
staged, articles written, covers recorded...
now for the rebirth of the band! Recent live
reviews have been frothing at the mouth with
praise for their shows, our own Darius Drewe
commenting ‘Slim Chance not only do
justice to the Lane legend but look like they
finally have a future in their own right’. You
can see them this month at the Tivoli Theatre
in Dorset (March 11th), The Boston Arms
Music Room in London (25th), and the
Hailsham Pavilion on the 26th.

The wonderfully titled Reading Steady Go!
exhibition explores the explosion of youth
culture in the 1960s and its legacy in
today’s music and fashion.
In the early 1960s Reading emerged
from the rationing and austerity of the post
war years. A generation of ‘Baby Boomers’
enjoyed increased spending power, more
freedom and leisure time. The term
‘teenager’ was used for the first time and
alongside the new buildings that rose up in
Reading, various youth cultures emerged.
Young people began to define their identify
through allegiance to different styles such
as Teddy Boy, Rockabilly, Beatnik and Mod.
The town’s Mods soaked up the
influences and latest trends from London.
They listened to black American R & B
artists, wore smooth cropped hairstyles,
tailored jackets and neat Italian roundedcollar shirts. The exhibition intends to be an
insight into the real Mod world. It goes
beyond the popular myths to show their
passion for music, fashion and being young.

INTRODUCING THE NEW
THE ELECTRIC PRUNES
A ’60s garage group whose musical energy would
vibrate into the ether, manifesting itself as an
echo that reverberates throughout time, continuing
to influence countless other bands and defining
psychedelic heavyocity for generations to come.
STRAWBERRY STUDIOS: THE EARLY DAYS OF 10CC
Shindig! talks to Graham Gouldman, Eric Stewart
and Kevin Godley about the hits, football songs,
bubblegum, bad curry and good hash.
THE INSOMNIAC CAFÉ
Surf-dwellers found a plethora of coffeehouses,
galleries and nightclubs to frequent after the sun went
down. Nowhere was the link between beatnik and
surfer spelled out more clearly than at The Insomniac
Café from 1958-65.

Psych, garage, prog, powe
Q65
They were an unlikely, often volatile gang of outcasts
and misfits, but with their raw, unconventional music
and rowdy, unkempt image they quickly built up a
large and fiercely loyal following.
THE MAJORITY
‘Get Back Home’ may now be regarded as a
freakbeat/psych classic, but the harmony-pop
group that originated from Hull had a lengthy career
that saw a trail of singles released on Decca and
an incredible European-only 1971 album.
THEE HYPNOTICS
More MC5 than garage and far louder and dynamic
than the drone bands of the era; the high energy
quartet were truly out there on their own, trailblazing a
path that would later see grunge take to the charts.
CLARK HUTCHINSON
Proto-punk, psych-jazz, angry prog, guttural blues
from the long haired early ’70s.
