Since the Scrumpy ‘n’ Western first appeared as the Scrumpy ‘n’ Weston in
March ‘04 then expanding to further areas
so we did a slight change and became the
Scrumpy ‘n’ Western in December ‘04.
The Scrumpy has since it began tried various ideas and up dates, some have
worked others failed. We have continued
to work to improve how we promote and
support Live Music and all involved in the
industry with the main push on local bands
and musicians, rather than the main
stream that is supported by national magazines and media. In it’s present form the
magazine is turning up all over the UK as
people find a copy, this has widened the
readership and the e-mail traffic from all
over has increased. Because we are first
and foremost a printed publication, we
have concentrated over the past 4 years
on improving on the outlets were the mag

can be picked up or read in venues. We
have tried various working agreements
with other web sites, which has given a
basic profile of the magazine, but if you are
already a regular reader you will know
these things anyway!! The problem we had
was space and cost and the fact we are
now getting gigs and other items outside
our distribution area. So the next move was
to start looking for a title that would cover
the whole country, start a web site (since
we did not have the S ‘n’ W web name) and
create a new web site working with the
printed monthly publication.
Confused don’t be just go to -
www.mag4livemusic.co.uk
Where you can read the Scrumpy ‘n’ Western each month plus we have added another 4 pages to the S n W on line. Also we will
be adding to the site info & more photo’s,
we know it won’t happen over night but we
have made a start.

BREAKTHROUGH
The local radio station ‘Forest FM’ are
running a rather good idea called Breakthrough and is aimed at supporting and
promoting local music and musicians
across their broadcast area and beyond
(an area bounded by Swanage, Blandford,
Salisbury, Southampton, Bournemouth
and Poole). It’s not for profit, it’s because
they really do want to support great local
live music, with invited applications from
bands and artists ( provided they’re not
already signed to a major record label) and
each month, one band receives the
‘Forest FM’
Breakthrough accolade.
They get : - Daily air play for a month on
‘Forest FM’ - 92.3 ( and on the web at
www.forestfm.uk ) - A live session on air Interviews on air - Publicity and promotion
- A headline gig - which Forest FM also
record for future broadcast.
The station have had some 50 bands apply so far - and are always looking for more
- as long as they are either based in the
area noted above or regularly gig there.
The winners for May 2008 Breakthrough
award are the Bournemouth/Southampton
based band ‘Crystal Arcade’ who featured
all through May with the listed benefits.
‘Crystal Arcade, are a four piece indie rock
band and have been making a real impact
on the local scene. Comprising Ross
Rolph on keyboards, rhythm guitar and
lead vocals, Mike Rolph on bass and
backing vocals, Daniel Ratcliff on lead
guitar and Matt Skeats on drums / percus-

sion and backing vocals. ‘Crystal Arcade’
have had a great start to 2008 having supported chart acts ‘Palladium’ and
‘Alphabeat’ as well as getting to the semifinals of the Dorset Unsigned Music
Awards. They’ve been gigging heavily and
playing to packed venues, with some London gigs thrown in for good measure as
well. Their latest single ‘All Things She
Said’ was released in May during their
Breakthrough tenure, which has been well
received. You can catch a range of the
bands tracks and more information at -

ROCKABILLY BANDS & PSYCHOBILLY -
This summer sees the return of Brighton
based four piece ‘Two Choices’ to Devon
and Cornwall, after two extremely successful summer tours in those parts they’re
back to tour once more. Together since
they were 14, the band have played at over
200 venues through out the UK and Europe. When asked why the South West?
Singer Ash replied: “ We all think that
there’s something in the water down there,
the people just seem to love live music!
Some places you play people can be quite
pretentious, they just sit there waiting to be
entertained. But down in the South West
people are up on their feet having a good
time from the first song to the last! ”
‘Two Choices’ hit the limelight in the summer of 2006 when they were asked to
support rock legends ‘The Who’ in their
home town of Brighton and since then they
have recorded and internationally released
their debut album ‘Longest Journey’, available on iTunes . ‘Two Choices’ will be
playing a host of dates across the counties
of Devon & Cornwall this July, be sure not
to miss out! They are Ash - vocals, Tom on
guitar, Tim on bass and Boyce playing
drums, they really do work well together
producing an impressive sound, you can
hear their music at -
www.myspace.com/twochoices
“ Having listened to their tracks on the site,
I am very impressed, if they sound this
good live then I can see why they are so
popular, “ Two Choices” they will rock you!”
- Editor S n W
“ One of the best young bands I’ve seen,
sure to make the big time”
- Roger Daltrey ‘The Who’
“ Brighton has some top bands, “Two
Choices” are definitely one to watch”

We had a marvelous night last night at
The Rock Gardens, a new venue in Weston-Super-Mare, and bloody brilliant it is
there too! They haven’t been open that
long but they’re very committed to having
live music, and really nice people too.
It was also interesting setting up our gear
and doing a sound check with people sat
in the venue reading about us as we were
on the May S ‘n’ W front cover. It’s a big
venue with a stage and drum riser - lovely!
Katie was a particularly happy bunny! Not
only did she get a drum raiser but she got
to use her Chad Smith snare which in
most venues is too loud. It cracks like a
MOFO and sounds gorgeous. There was
some rather impressive spikes and mohawks in the audience which had me a bit
nervous - would we get bottled if we did
Britney? By the time we got to Seasons in
the Sun though, aforementioned mohawk
was bobbing up and down in time to our
silly dance. Hurrah! There was lots of
comedians in the audience, heckling in a
panto like style. It gave Hoover some
good banter and he was on top form and
using his wireless mic too the max. Bully
was running around like a mad thing all
night, I thought we were gonna have to
get the defibrillator out again!! There were
so many songs that I wanted us to play
but couldn’t fit in without ending up doing
a four hour gig and killing the rhythm
section! It was great to have such a captive audience who sang along with everything. Using our own equipment which
was really nice for me because I could
control the lights, does it make a difference to the audience? I dunno, but hopefully it adds to the overall performance.
We stayed for a couple of games of pool
after we had packed away while the landlord kindly sorted out some chips for us!
Wicked! Everyone was soooo friendly and
loving it, we had an absolute ball. A nice
venue to add to our list of favourites.
Cheers to everyone who turned up, we’ll
see you (and all your mates) next time.

‘Jerichova’ were formed in August 2006
by four mates who wanted to play something different .They all came from varied
musical backgrounds, Jeff Hague and
Howard Williams from New Orleans Jazz,
Vaughan Channon from Rock ‘n’ Roll and
Country, and Rick Coyne from the folk
scene. They decided that skiffle needed a
revival and began meeting in the skittle
alley of The Bell, Banwell once a week,
playing the music made popular back in
the mid 50’s by people such as Lonnie
Donegan, Chas McDevitt and The Vipers.
Their noise filter through up into the pub
and they were offered a gig. They are now
setting feet tapping regularly, at various
venues, to a mixture of Skiffle,
Blues,Plantation Spirituals, Chain Gang
work songs, with a few songs thrown in.
They are, first and foremost, a FUN band.
They enjoy what they do and this comes
across in their music, as can be heard on
their recently released CD ‘Going Home’,
which is available at their gigs. For more
info on ‘Jerichova’ phone -
01934 712697
‘Ryan Inglis’ singer / songwriter from Weston-Super-Mare, North Somerset has recently made it through to the National
Finals of Live & Unsigned which will be
held in London on June 28th. With a great
love and respect for the art of guitar playing
and songwriting, Ryan decided to create
some tunes he could call his own. His
frequent appearances in Weston’s thriving
local music scene and more recent ventures into Bristol, Bath and predominantly
South West based acoustic venues ensured his ability could gain momentum and
his songs could start to take shape. His
side projects in songwriting have involved
(to date) collaborations with Emily Larner,
Chet, Shoot The Bedroom, June Header &
Mario Ellis and shows no sign of stopping.
Ryan is a significant songwriter, and it is a
pleasure to hear him play.

WHAT’S AFOOT
Recently we have been sent a magazine
relating to all things folk in the Devon county. This is an excellent publication and
crammed full of information on the folk
scene of Devon. It’s published 3 times a
year is a really excellent read and anyone
interested in taking out a subscription can
contact - Jean Warren on 01752 401732
For more details or go to www.devonfolk.co.uk
Most areas or towns have a local Folk
club or sing-a-long it’s an ideal place to see
some really talented people, learn more
about guitar playing, meet new friends.
We at the Scrumpy ‘n’ Western are often
asked why we stopped the Repeat & Regular section of the gig guide, which listed
lots of clubs / Open mic nights. Well it’s
really a question of space and costs, since
most of these were regular, when one
started we would be told but if one folded
most times we were not. Also most are on
going, and we now receive so many
changing weekly events, it’s about cost.
One of the most delightful things to do in
Cornwall (and anywhere else for that matter) during the summer is to stand outside
one of Cornwall’s wonderful public houses,
watching our hard working Morris dancers
weaving their enchanting spell in time to
the age-old music of England. There are
some ten or a dozen sides covering the
whole of the county; the strangely- named
Trigg operates through the north and east
of Cornwall, and the program of their
Thursday evening outings is out now.
For more info go to www.triggmorris.co.uk

ROCK ‘n’ ROLL with
BOPPIN DARRIN
Hi all and welcome to June. This month
sees the birthdays of Pat Boone 1st 1934
with hits of ‘Wonderful Time Up There’,
‘April Love’, and on 9th 1934 its Jackie
Wilson with ‘Reet Petite’, ‘Lonely Teardrops’, good classics and you will probably
hear their tracks being played by the dj or
live band covering one or all of their hits at
any Rock ‘n’ Roll event that you go to.
In the 1970’s ‘The Darts’ did just that by
doing a re-make of ‘Reet Petite’, The Darts
now regrouping and about to go on tour, so
check out the dates they could be playing
near you. ‘Darts’ hit the charts in the 70’s
with competition from Showaddywaddy,
Mud, Rocky Sharp and the Replays and
Matchbox. ‘The Darts’ were a 9 strong energetic entertaining doo woop group hitting
the charts in 77’ with ‘Daddy Cool’/The Girl
Can’t Help It’ mix. The group was the brain
child of ex Rocky Sharp bass player Den
Hagarty, who in 1976 pulled together other
former Sharp members vocalist Griff Fender, Rita Ray, Horatio Hornblower, Thump
Thompson, John Drummer, George Currie,
Hammy Howell and Bob Fish. Darts began
playing pubs, clubs and the university circuits where they soon build up a large following. Their unique style of doo wop Rock
‘n’ Roll and of course their stage act had
them as one of the top acts around, soon
their reputation got around and the break
came when they appeared on BBC radio
London in October 1976. The group soon
got a record deal with Magnet and their first
GOOD
release hit the top 10 in 1977, other hits
followed ‘Come back My Love’, ‘Boy From
New York City’, ‘It’s Raining’......
Then in 1979 Den Hagarty left and Darts
seemed to loose their sparkle. In 1980 a
dispute with Magnet records, resulting in a
restraint on the release of any new material, so the band toured the USA for a few
years and coming back to the UK in 83’
and began a new tour appearing in theatres in ‘Yakey Yak’, the show mostly staying in the West End of London.....
Now ‘Darts’ are back with the legendary
Den Hagarty, the guy with the bulging
eyes!! And the band of course are touring.
This month on the 7th in Coventry we
have ‘The Spitfires’ (0247 6336533) on
the 14th in Surrey it’s ‘Class of 58’ (01483
856744 on the 20th we have a Record
Hop at Taunton R ‘n’ R Club and on the
28th in Cleveland we have ‘The Rhythm
Boys’. The 27th June Basingstoke R ‘n’ R
club have ‘Bernie Woods & The Forest
Fires’ (01256 462305). From the 19th 23rd at Pontins Camber Sands, East Sussex is ‘The Rockabilly Rave’ (01435
812508) with bands like ‘The Rockin 8
Balls’ from Finland, ‘Lew Williams’ from
USA, ‘Ronnie Bonnie’ from Italy, ‘Jack
Rabbit Slim’ from the UK and many more,
boy what a line up!! Until next month keep
Rockin - Boppin Darrin
I would like to wish Rebel Dean and Sarah
Craddock lots of luck and happiness on
their forth coming wedding wishing you
both all the best, your a lovely couple and
will see you on the day xxx .

Scrumpy ‘n’ Western
Love the name, these guys sent me their
new demo CD and on listening I ventured
further on who ‘Burning Down Vegas’ are.
They are a four piece hardcore punk rock
band from the west Berkshire area. When
they first formed they spent a number of
months developing their own sound, having no idea what kind of band they really
wanted to be. The lads first wrote a few
mellow songs, playing a few gigs to gain
some experience from playing live. Then it
all started to click together, a fusion of the
band members favourite genres, which
has developed into their own sound, playing the music they like, not the music other
people will like! The lads Milez - vocals,
Mark - drums, Dewy - bass and Wally guitar are all about the time when rock
music was about ‘The Music’ and not hairstyles, clothes, costumes or face paint!
Although listening to ‘Burning Down Vegas’
and their influences might tell you other
wise. Each of them are influenced by
completely different bands from ‘Kings of
Leon’ to ‘Gallows’. Their demo disc starts
with track one - ‘Alive’ to me fast gut rotting
rock, fast paced good lyric’s changing patterns, vocals not to sing in any bath! Energetic rock from the first track through to
‘Bombs’ play loud, but it’s the energy of
youth that hits home. Well produced, the
run follows one to one, great demo. Sound
live, not pretentious - all songs on their
demo CD and myspace profile were recorded at Boundary Studios in Newbury in
November ‘07, and the engineer has done
a good job. For more info on gig bookings
or info on ‘Burning Down Vegas’ go to www.myspace.com/burndownvegas
or e-mail Alex:dewy27@hotmail.com
07762566199 / 01635 30404
You can catch them live on 5th June - @The Monument, Newbury
20th - North Croft Leisure Centre, Newbury
28th - Battle of the Bands, Marlborough
If they sound live as good as their demo
then you are in for a good gig. They sound
as if they have something to say, no shit!

BAD NEWS WHEN THE ROT
SETS IN - WHAT’S THE ANSWER?
Thirty years ago it was very rare to hear or
see a Public house close down. If one did
it was down to redevelopment, as often as
not thirty years ago with new estates being
built it was a case of more opening. Oh
how times have changed, since my involvement with the Scrumpy ‘n’ Western
and the amount of traveling I do, I have in
the past few years seen a rapid decline in
pubs. I have even in the past year driven
past one main road boozer that is now a
Bedding Centre!! On the main once a pub
shuts down the most common re-opening
is as a Restaurant, mainly Indian or Chinese. Sad the way of change, what will
happen to live music now the smoking ban
is in force plus the economic down turn is
having such an effect on a once so important part of English life, the local pub?
In the past 6 months The Mash Tun in
Winchester, a pub that for many years was
a major live music venue has been boarded up with a tolet / for sale sign protruding
from the side of the building. Last month
scaffolding appeared round the building,
on enquiring, that it’s to be reopened as a
restaurant!! Another main music venue
‘The Tumble Down Dick’ in Farnborough,
Surrey has closed and boarded up, may
now we are informed open as a restaurant!
Worried music fans from across the area
have started a campaign to try and save
the only place to see a gig in Farnborough
. Over the years ‘The Tumbledown Dick’
has hosted such bands as ‘The Jam’, ‘Bad
Manners’, ‘Hundred Reasons’, ‘Mega City
Four’, and ‘Ruben’ plus many many more.
It was an integral part of the local live music
scene, having hosted countless thousands
of local and unsigned bands over the
years. At the present time it is estimated
that 5 pubs a day are closing in England,
this excludes Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. How many of these host live
music? What are the musicians Union doing about this problem, is it a problem? The
Scrumpy has decided to take a further
look, Why?
Bands and musicians who played at last
years Folk and Blues Festival on the Isle of
Wight claim they have not been paid fro
their performances . Folk legends ‘Fairport
Convention’ say they are owed £5000.00
for headlining the event. Other musicians
and local businesses are also claiming
they have not been paid for services given
to promoters. The promoters are blaming
the sponsors not paying them for the delay
in payment to bands who played in 2007.
‘Fairport Convention’ played at the original
1968 Folk & Blues Festival, in an interview
with the BBC, band leader ‘Dave Pegg’
said that they had expected to have been
paid in September ‘07. He went on to say
“We did a concert there which sold out. I
personally traveled all the way from France
where I was on holiday and took three days
out of my life. The audience were great, we
had a really good night, we may appear to
be a big name but this is our livelihood and
we really do need to get paid.”
The organisers of the Folk and Blues Festival also organise The Isle of Wight Jazz
Festival, say performers will get their appearance fees paid. They did admit that
there were some big problems with the
Folk Festival that still needed to be sorted!

Scrumpy ‘n’ Western
At the end of April it was discovered that a
site calling itself Festival Unlocked was
falsely claiming to be a competition for
unsigned bands to play at this years Reading Festival and Leeds Festival. WHY?
Organisers stress that site is not
official. So Festival Republic, the promoters of the Reading and Leeds Festivals,
are keen to alert all festival goers to the
unofficial site on Myspace. The site has no
link with the Festival and none of the bands
will be on the bill via this site. Festival
Republic promoters of The Reading and
Leeds Festivals are totally committed to
new and unsigned bands/talent and have
this year been working closely with the
BBC introducing BBC Raw Talent.
JUNKYARD SCIENTISTS
On Bank Holiday Monday 26th May the
‘Junkyard Scientists’ were the first band
ever to play an in store gig at Zavvi
(formally Virgin Mega Store), Broad Street
Mall, Reading as part of a collaboration
with the music megastore.
‘Junkyard Scientists’ a 7 piece band took to
the in-store stage at about 7pm, performing
their funk-infused hip-hop/soul material
from their debut EP which was released
and on sale at Zavvi, so not only did people
get the chance to see the band perform live
but they were some of the first to buy the
new debut EP plus there was other Junkyard merchandise on sale as well.
Formed only last year, the ‘Junkyard Scientists’ have been setting dance floors
alight all over the south of England with
their explosive live performances and party
atmosphere. If you like ‘Jamiroquai’,
‘James Brown,’ ‘Sly & the family Stone’,
and ‘Amp Fiddler’ then check out the band.
The Reading music store Zavvi want to
support the local music scene by promoting local and live music with the ‘Junkyard
Scientists’ being the first band to perform
there. On the 13th June at the vibrant
‘Global Cafe’ from 8.00 pm to 1.00 am
(Free entry as usual) which will feature ‘Junkyard Scientists’, ‘Stoltz’, ‘Luv Shuvel’,
‘Midi Midis’, ‘Ground Dust’, ‘the DJC’, ‘Flat
EXTRA
Stan’, ‘Nexone’ and ‘Ollie T’. The Night
promises swinging, swaying, records playing and even some street dancing!!
“A great live band with hints of Jamiroquai
and Amp Fiddler” - Radio Berkshire.
