GRAHAM BROWN AND MICK NADIN BUDDY UP FOR 'CAN'T TAKE IT BACK'

Graham and Mick have been PBGB Shedmates for going on three and a half years now. They've played together on over twenty songs that have wriggled their way out of The PBGB Shed. Despite that, amazingly enough,  they remain good mates !

So good in fact that when Graham laid his latest song on us he generously asked Mick whether he would like to sing it. Mick was more than happy  to take it on, and so we set to work.

We hammered it out over a few weeks, agreeing  an arrangement, honing this and that, and generally getting comfortable with it.

Once we felt we had the better of it we turned on the recorder, and after Neil waved his wand over it THIS  is what came out.

Hope you like it !

The story behind the song is pure fiction........we think. Simply a lament really...............you know........glorious love gone wrong, man in deep regret at having got it all so wrong, apologising, hoping for another chance...........all that jazz. Despite the downish story, the song has a light and breezy feel about it, and we had lots of fun playing it.

Thanks Graham and Mick.

Graham Brown wrote the song and played Percussion

Mick Nadin sang it and played Harp

Steve Faggotter played the Guitar

Louise Nadin played the Bass

Pete played the Drums

Neil Porter kindly produced it.

Owl Noble releases his 10 song album

Al ("Owl") Noble has just released his 10 song album of songs "Arden Street".  Recorded with PBGB in The Shed at Pambula Beach, it includes a new song "Walking Dead Waltz".

This is special, and the story behind it's gestation is about some pretty serious bad luck, some equally serious good luck, and an incredible fighting spirit.  

I don’t want to dwell on the background too much except to say that because of Al's luck, both good and bad, it would be really helpful if you considered buying the "Arden Street" album and if you could recommend it to your friends. Give it a good listen and enjoy Allan Noble's great songs.

Al's songs are solid, and he’s supported by Shed stalwarts: Manny Aigner, Peter Reid, Michael Nadin, Ken Vatcher, John Drews, Louise Nadin, Steve Faggotter, Graham Brown and Neil-Jan Porter.

From Al:

"Dear friends,

This is an exciting thing for me. I've just completed with the help of my mates (many, many thanks) at PBGB, an album of my songs so far.  

Over the past 10 months of struggling and swinging the broadaxe at cancer, it's one of the things that's kept me sane, assuming that I am.  Although we are resourceful and the kids and family have helped, being unable to work at the moment and ineligible for any Centrelink assistance, the bills, medical expenses and life costs have been creeping up and this month I'm going under.  I'm putting this music out there as an album and hoping people will have a listen and splash $10 for 10 songs.  Bargain. 

Please check it out and if you like it, share and buy. It's going to a good cause in keeping us afloat, and it's been made with love, passion and all the good spices of life.  

After damaging my eyes in the bushires I'm calling myself Owl. Just because I can. What could possibly go wrong? ..Hoot Thwoot. Hope you enjoy. Allan"
