James McClaren of BBC Wales contacted me after discovering DTSS - here's the link to his blog:

Also, I put Flowers Of Hope up on iTunes the other day, but am not sure if it's 'live' yet.....


Heigh Ho.

Heavily edited (The Guardian took out my comment about their commie faggot readership for starters....)

Nibble this gingerly too:

By me.


Enjoy. More to come, but only if you've been good.

Table (well we hope so) Demo Tapes have arrived

Hey, thrillseekers - these arrived from Russ today. I'll keep you posted as to what might be on them, but there's a good chance there's some material from Mk 1 and Mk 2 versions of the band. I will be delving into my storage to see if there are other goodies, too....

Facebook Page

Decided to get things started. There's another FB page with info cut and pasted from Wikipedia which isn't entirely accurate. For instance the absurd assertion that we did not possess instruments. What would we have been playing otherwise?

Russ just sent me this link. As he says: 'Can't The Guardian just leave us alone???'

Table 2011 - Demo / Ruff Mix

Greetings, thrillseekers. I have decided to meet the overwhelming disinterest in my shenanigans - musical or otherwise - with this latest Demo / Ruff mix. I am putting together an EP over the summer with the latest version of The Table. PLAY LOUD


UPDATE: Removed this demo 

Roaring Silence

Ah well, not much of a reaction to the previous aural gem of grooviness, CONCERNING THE FIGHT BETWEEN GOD AND THE DEVIL, but there you go.....


I will soldier on, notwithstanding.

Musical Mayhem 2?

This is a demo by The Table circa 1979/80

PLAY LOUD!!!!!

Personnel:
Russell Young - Vocals, Bass
Tony Barnes - Rhythm Guitar
Tim Cox - Lead Guitar
Richard Rae - Percussion

Written By Russell Young

Not great audio quality as from a cassette likely to be a few generations down the line. Possibly this has resulted in it sounding slightly speeded up as well....

Thanks to Haze for sending a cd of demos from that period. I appear to play on a fair few tracks. Maybe we'll showcase some more, but they are demos after all, raw material for a producer / record company to take on board. Sadly for the future of rock music of course we couldn't find any. So much for the legend of us being wilfully obscure!

Let us know your thoughts, people!

Concerning The Fight Between God & The Devil

Musical Mayhem?

Hopefully I will take delivery of a Danelectro 12 string in the next few days, so look out world!

Great to be remembered - but it was actually recorded in 1976 should I wish to be pedantic!
