00:00Good afternoon Southfield!
00:07There's quite a lot of volume on this mic so I'm going to stand back a bit.
00:14Welcome to the Mind Your Music Big Gig funded by the National Lottery Community Fund
00:20which is awesome because they put a lot of money into running our music workshops up to today's date
00:27paying all the bands that are playing today and you guys just get paid in crisps, sorry.
00:34Yeah so we've got our set lists for the stage time, sorry for everyone that's playing today
00:40they are around in various places, help us up to one of those.
00:44Nobody has to stay here all day, it's a really long day, you can come and go, it's not a paid entry, it doesn't matter, it's all good.
00:50And we're finishing around about 10 or just after 10 probably with our amazing 1980s covers party band
00:57that I'm going to dance until I fall down.
01:01Elliot would you like to introduce our first musician, I couldn't think of the word, musician.
01:08I kind of feel we have to be extra nice to this guy because I feel like the entire future of Mind Your Music
01:14actually depends on him rescuing me. So um, her describes herself as folk rock
01:21but I really, there is definitely a heavy element of revolutionary rock in the young whippersnapper from San Francisco
01:29who's just come by especially for this gig tonight but um, has been living in Southville for about 30 odd years or something.
01:36Can we please welcome Guy Malkerson.
01:48Oh yeah, revolutionary folk rock in like the vein of Phil Oaks.
01:53Who, I mean that's, I was, I was singing his song in there but for fortune for the uh, for the sound check
02:00it was made famous by Joan Baez and used by her in his um, in her autobiographical movie of the same name.
02:08But it was written by Phil Oaks. So I'm going to start out since it's glorious summer and so hot and sunshiny today.
02:14I'm going to start out with a summery song.
02:17I'm going to start out with a summery song.
02:28I'm going to start out with a summery song.
02:33I'm going to start out with a summery song.
02:37Drowning in the sands of regret
02:48What is just tearing through my head
02:52Sky of hope and dreams had set
02:55Lay me down to a lonely bed
02:58Until she came
02:59Remind me of the death
03:06Out on the sea cliffs
03:08We're watching nights our mouths

03:45A warm summer
03:47A guy in golden railway
03:49She's on the other coast now
03:51Is that so far away

22:12It's always so nice to go by the
22:14Go to the sea, you know
22:16And that's what that song's about
22:18I always wanted to do a song, a beach song
22:20Because I grew up listening to Beach Boys and stuff
22:22I even waited on them once
22:24For them, they all were drinking Heineken
22:26Just like the interviews say
22:28You played to go on the beach boys
22:30Yeah, Bryan Wilson, all of them
22:32Yeah, they were really nice
22:34I used to work in this
22:36Well, because I lived in LA
22:37I worked in this restaurant
22:38I was a musician down there
22:40If I was working
22:42I waited on all the musicians who came
22:44And they put me on
22:45I'll tell you
22:46And the most dreamy was
22:48Chrissy Heine, the Pretenders
22:50She had the most dreamy
22:52And all the waiters were all like
22:54Falling over
22:55God
22:56I put Chrissy Heine in your section
22:58And I was like
22:59What?
23:02Anyway

23:50Strip their morals fair
23:53Sane in the process
23:56To pollute a lightened air
24:02One could fuck up a diffusion
24:05Fill some jets
