I have just been reading Mark R's playlist on the Cleethorpes thread.... and i have to admit to knowing a total of 4 of the records that he listed.
Which .. if i'm honest ..has made me feel just a little embarassed about just how limited my knowledge actually is.
Which got me thinking....
When i first started going to niters in the early 80s ... never went to Wigan... so Stafford.. Leicester... Hinkley etc .... i used to know a lot of what Robin Salter, Adam etc were playing at the time.... and have to say liked a lot of it.... and could've probably had a conversation about it and have been able to hold my own ... to a point of course.
But it struck me while reading Mark's playlist just how much the modern scene has become a completely seperate scene of it's own ... compared to when i started going .. when it seemed to be more combined ... if you know what i mean.
But more to the point ... realising my total lack of knowledge on this subject has shocked me a little if i'm honest ... anybody else feel like me... or am i the only one?
