Albion Band

**The Albion Band**, also known as **The Albion Country Band**, **The Albion Dance Band**, and The **Albion Christmas Band**, were a British folk rock band founded in 1971, originally brought together and led by musician Ashley Hutchings. Generally considered one of the most important groupings in the genre, it has contained or been associated with a large proportion of major English folk performers in its long and fluid history.

The one constant in the band’s history has been the band leader Ashley Hutchings, founding member of arguably the two other pre-eminent English folk rock groupings Fairport Convention and Steeleye Span, and it has been the home for most of the projects of his long and highly productive career, though in the 2011 incarnation of the band he has handed over the reins to his son Blair Dunlop.

## Links to Kershaw

On his 29th January 2006 show, Kershaw mentioned that he first heard Albion Band's Poor Old Horse, when he was working in a railway engine during the academic holidays and remembered Simon Bates calling it his record of the week. Kershaw also said that he never got bored of the song. He played the song also on his 12th March 2007 show, where on that occasion he played his favourite tracks on the programme.

Country Joe And The Fish

**Country Joe and the Fish** was an American psychedelic rock band formed in Berkeley, California, in 1965. The band was among the influential groups in the San Francisco music scene during the mid- to late 1960s. Much of the band's music was written by founding members Country Joe McDonald and Barry "The Fish" Melton, with lyrics pointedly addressing issues of importance to the counterculture, such as anti-war protests, free love, and recreational drug use. Through a combination of psychedelia and electronic music, the band's sound was marked by innovative guitar melodies and distorted organ-driven instrumentals which were significant to the development of acid rock.

The band self-produced two EPs that drew attention on the underground circuit before signing to Vanguard Records in 1966. Their debut album, Electric Music for the Mind and Body, followed in 1967. It contained their only nationally charting single, "Not So Sweet Martha Lorraine", and their most experimental arrangements. Their second album, I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-to-Die, was released in late 1967; its title track, with its dark humor and satire, became their signature tune and is among the era's most recognizable protest songs. Further success followed, including McDonald's appearance at Woodstock, but the group's lineup underwent changes until its disbandment in 1970. Members of the band continue in the music industry as solo recording artists and sporadically reconvene.

## Links to Kershaw

In the No Off Switch blogsite, Kershaw revealed that he was impressed with Country Joe McDonald's performance at Woodstock:

> *"Seeing the film of Woodstock, in a cinema in Rochdale in my early teens, was another formative moment which, again, somehow I managed not to mention in my book.*
>
>
> *I remember sitting there, on my own, feeling a rush of exhilaration. Woodstock, for the naive AK, embodied so much – a sense of possibility, the potential and invincibility of people-power, defiant anti-authoritarianism, a lot of tremendous music and a huge number of that type of girl who would never even notice me. I was thrilled too by the sense of event, one which was staged almost spontaneously, and made a huge cultural and political impact, despite having been a shambles from beginning to end. I wished so much I’d been there. It was possibly in that cinema that afternoon that my appetite for staging big gigs was ignited.*
>
>
>
> *And Country Joe was an absolute revelation. That he could get up there, alone with his guitar, and get half a million people to shout, and spell, “fuck” (for which, if I’d just whispered it, I’d have got a week of detentions at school) and then sing along to an anti-war anthem so it could rattle windows in Washington, well… he became my instant hero. (Notice how the whole crowd rises to its feet towards the end). And I left the cinema a convert to counter-culture – a pretty lonely position for the son of headteachers in early 70s Rochdale. Anyway, all together now…"* [1]

Clearasil

**Clearasil** is an American brand of skin care and acne medication, whose products contain chiefly benzoyl peroxide, sulfur & resorcinol, triclosan, or salicylic acid as active ingredients.

Clearasil has a wide range of products both for rapid and sometimes slow acne treatment and for everyday prevention. The products are marketed to customers worldwide.

Clearasil was invented in the United States in 1950 by Ivan Combe with the help of chemist Kedzie Teller. At this time, it was the first dermatological brand created specially for younger skin to fight against pimples (acne). The active ingredients in the original product were sulfur and resorcinol, similar to the pre-existing adult acne product Acnomel.

## Links to Kershaw

Kershaw signed a contract where he promoted Clearasil adverts on British TV during the late 80's. It is not known how long he did this far.

Billy Bragg

**Stephen William Bragg** (born 20 December 1957), better known as **Billy Bragg**, is an English alternative rock musician and left-wing activist. His music blends elements of folk music, punk rock and protest songs, and his lyrics mostly deal with political or romantic themes … (read more at Wikipedia)

## Links to Kershaw

Kershaw discovered Billy Bragg's debut LP, Life's A Riot With Spy Vs Spy, whilst working for Radio Aire after a worker there discarded it in the bin. He was soon fond of the album and kept in contact with Bragg. In November 1983, he was made redundant from the station and got a job working as Billy Bragg's tour manager which involved many roles including being a chauffeur and a roadie for him. Both of them became close friends and even appeared on many TV programmes together including the Old Grey Whistle Test and an episode of the BBC TV programme Great Journeys in 1989, in which they travelled the Silver Road from Potosí, Bolivia, to the Pacific coast at Arica, Chile.

Billy Bragg also sometimes sat in for Kershaw on his BBC Radio One radio show, while he was away or ill, especially in 1987 and 1997. He also contributed to a Natalie Merchant session track on the programme in 1993 and later did his own session in 1996.

Later on their lives diverged when in an 2018 interview with Malcolm Wyatt, he asked Kershaw whether he keeps in touch with Bragg:

> *"Not really. I suppose our lives diverged. He sits in his castle on a cliff in Dorset, while I’m still scrabbling around for a job here and a job there."* [1]

Buck 65

**Richard Terfry** (born March 4, 1972), better known by his stage name **Buck 65**, is a Canadian alternative hip hop artist. Underpinned by an extensive background in abstract hip hop, his more recent music has extensively incorporated blues, country, rock, folk and avant-garde influences. Terfry is also a radio host, hosting the weekday Drive show on CBC Music since September 2, 2008. In addition, he once hosted a weekday program on CBC Radio 3's web radio station.

## Links to Kershaw

Buck 65 did a session for Kershaw's show in 2004 and revealed on the programme that the origin of his name came from his earliest public performances with older blues musician who used to joke that Terfry's regularity at showing up made him as reliable as a 1965 Buick. The nickname Buick 65 stuck until it was misprinted on a publicity poster as 'Buck 65' which he then adopted as his stage name.

La Bamba

**"La Bamba"** is a Mexican folk song, originally from the state of Veracruz, best known from a 1958 adaptation by Ritchie Valens, a top 40 hit in the U.S. charts and one of early rock and roll's best-known songs. Valens' version of "La Bamba" is included in Robert Christgau's "Basic Record Library" of 1950s and 1960s recordings—published in Christgau's Record Guide: Rock Albums of the Seventies (1981)—and ranked number 345 on Rolling Stone magazine′s list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. It is the only song on the list sung in a language other than English.

"La Bamba" has been covered by numerous artists, most notably by Los Lobos, whose version was the title track of the 1987 film La Bamba, a bio-pic about Valens, and reached No. 1 in the U.S. and UK singles charts in the same year.

## Links to Kershaw

Kershaw often mention on his shows that he was collector of records covering La Bamba. One of the most unusual covers of the La Bamba, which was played by Kershaw was a spoken word version by his colleague, John Peel, who read the lyrics in English rather than Spanish.
