Oi Wuz There!
During the process of recording the album, the audience
– always a vital part of any live show – took
a hands-on approach to the performance. As always, the second
set of the show involved the chitterlings buckets of instruments
being generously distributed amongst the crowd who are then
urged to join in for the remainder of the gig. And the crowd
at the Charlton Inn had the added enticement (if such were
needed) of having their performances – and their names
– included on the live album. In a totally original
concept (stolen from John Otway!), all participants who
completed the’ Oi Wuz There!’ form will have
their names included on the CD sleeve.
And
who was there? Well, here is the full list of those who
signed up: Cheddarman, Danger Nathan, Energiser Bunny, Git
Mohair, Gary (Wurz), Hazy Sunshine, Kevin Wurzel, Little
Sarah, Liz & Charlie from Next Door, Mandy, Road Up
Gang A Connock, Slash, Ian Baagelaar, Teresa Body, Mike
Brockway, Darren Butt, Valerie Chambers, Kim Clay, Lee Claydon,
Lee Connock, Sue Connock, M.E. Cox, Joe Cox, Julie Ann Cox,
Hayley Cullen, Daisy Cutter, Norman Downton, Lisa Fowler,
Xiaoye Guo, Maurice Evans, Julia Gillard, Angela Hunt, Emily
Oatley, Tich Masters, Kathy Needs, Martin (Vic) Needs, Rosie
Russett, Panita Tapner, Tristan Tapner, Mike Taylor, Kate
Thorne, Graham Trott, Anne Watts. Mike Watts and Skip Wells.
Also in attendance, apparently, were Charles J. Manson,
Ivor Large One (complete with website URL which sadly does
not exist), Phil McCrack and Patty O’Furniture and
Mahatma Choat.
