¨Fleetwood Mac. The Later Years pt.2¨
So much has been documented about the personal lives of the band members of Fleetwood Mac and for some reason it still continues to this day people are fascinated by their story. As the band transitioned from the leadership of the Peter Green era in the early 1970’s, the challenge to find those crucial members to continue into the future was a long one. New members joined such as Bob Weston and Bob Walsh, while old members departed such as Jeremy Spencer and Danny Kirwan. But as the years past and new albums were recorded. On a chance meeting with a studio producer Mick Fleetwood listened to a demo tape of a talent duo that would stick in his mind. Eventually that same duo would join the line up of Fleetwood Mac and go on to propel the band into the future, and into the history books. Lynsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. Together they would go on to make one of the best albums of all time in the mid 1970’s. That album was Rumours.

¨Peter Greens Fleetwood Mac pt.1¨ Known professionally as Peter Green, he was classed as one of the best blues guitarists in the world together with the likes of Eric Clapton. In 1967 he formed a new band with drummer Mick Fleetwood and called the band Fleetwood Mac. It was a band that would eventually take the world by storm, selling over 120 million albums along the way.. But people forget that Fleetwood Mac started out as a classic blues band which remained prominent in the band's repertoire in the late sixties. But Peter Green and Fleetwood Mac’s history has been a stormy one along the way. Drugs, alcohol and a lot of arguing within the band followed them around were ever they went. But throughout these dark days they would eventually go on to produce an album that would go down in the music history books for all time.

The Indie Grip. In these very strange times we all need a space to escape and maybe to recharge our batteries in one way or another. How to find that escape can take a long time to work out. But music is one way, playing it or listening the right music at the right time can whisk you off to a world were nobody can touch you, a world were everybody loves you and a world were you decided who’s the boss! Well at least for a few minutes or so…
One important thing though, please don’t forget to come back! Enjoy!

¨Still Going Strong¨ Well we’ve got as far as March so we may as well keep going. As the seasons change so does the music, and with that, the feeling of brighter and warmer days lay ahead. Music has an astounding effect on how we feel and how we think. To say little about its effects our physical being. That music is not proscribed as a health benefit by medical professionals together with meditation and qigong is still very much a mystery. It's a very simple and fulfilling way of finding oneself connecting to your emotions and finding your inner peace. We all need a little harmony these days into our stressful lives and music is definitely a key to life, and it does really help you to keep going strong. Enjoy!

¨Lindisfarne¨. They were one of the hottest folk/rock bands of the 1970’s and was even proclaimed as one of the most important groups of the decade. They had a down to earth sound and they were poised for international success. Throughout the decade they had several album and singles charting high on the British music charts. Alan Hull the lead writer for the band was a very talented lyricist and was even referred too as the most important new songwriter since Bob Dylan. But fame come fast and furious and it would eventually take its toll. But there’s no doubt about it, Lindisfarne was one of the bests British bands around, and without them the 1970’s would never have been the 70’s. Enjoy!
