A Blast From Your Past: The fab Mama Cass Elliot

In the UK "Dream a Little Dream of Me" reached number 11 in September 1968, staving off competition by a version from Anita Harris that reached number 33.



"It's Getting Better" reached 8 in the UK charts in October 1969. It sold almost 100,000 copies, despite a potential rival version by Paul Jones.

At the height of her solo career in 1974, Elliot performed two weeks of sold-out concerts at the London Palladium. She retired for the evening, and died in her sleep at age 32.

Sources state her death was due to a heart attack. Elliot died in a London flat, No. 12 at 9 Curzon Place, Shepherd Market, Mayfair which was on loan from singer/songwriter Harry Nilsson. Four years later, The Who's drummer Keith Moon died in the same flat. Remind me NEVER to rent that flat!

Blasts From Your Past: James Bond Themes

Here are some classic Bond themes.........



Licence to Kill



A View to a Kill



All Time High



For Your Eyes Only



You Only Live Twice

The Friday Breakfast Show

Me and Tel disagreeing over the content of the show. He wanted Louis Armstrong and I wanted the Monkees as the last track.

It's that time of the week again. We are back with the FBS. Maggi Hambling is one of our guests. You will all know her. She is responsible for the Aldeburgh Scallop and other arty stuff.

We are also joined by Phoebe Rope, Campaign Co-Ordinator, School for Social Entrepreneurs. Lots of us have good ideas and think, there’s money in that. Or perhaps we don't.

But how many of these ideas ever turn into real projects?

The School for Social Entrepreneurs aims to help you do just that. It started in London, and now it’s coming to Suffolk.

So join us from 7.00am for three of hours of chat, music and interviews on ICR 105.7 FM. You can also listen via the ICR website http://www.icrfm.co.uk/

Well, that's all from me until tomorrow. Have a nice evening, morning or whatever.

The ICTV Scrapbook

And here they are. All these were taken during the filming of the housing association video. Hope you like them!

My thumb was still acting for this one!

What a Team!

An outake. Who is that guy in the white shirt trying to dominate the shot?

He's still at it!

I give up!

I also helped out with the filming of Paul Salmon's Eternal Spirit TV Show. Here are a few pics.......

Paul with his guests. Deb Hawken and Kerry Hornett are both psychic mediums.

Me with Paul's guests. I was Paul's stand-in ( or should that be Paul's sit-in?) during the test shots. Both mediums were great. Kerry had a very interesting prediction about my future. I hope it comes true!

                                                     

Filming with ICTV (Ipswich Community TV)

Our first day filming a documentary for an housing association. I play the Housing Officer. Amy and Deej are the not so happy couple. And Vicky and Simon were filming it.

A break in filming

I appear reasonably happy. Vicky appears very happy. Simon was feeling ill due to the large hole in his neck. Amy was feeling the blues. And who can blame her? She was playing Deej’s wife. The poor girl!

Meanwhile, Deej was thinking about his next beer..........

More pics to follow very soon!

And yet another Wednesday Breakfast Show

Not Gary and John

I will be joining Gary for another Wednesday Breakfast Show. Our guest this week is Dominic Simonett of the Merlin’s Wish Foundation.

So join us on ICR 105.7 FM from 7.00am for three hours of great music, chat and at least one interview.

Paul Salmon

Paul’s guest this week is Deb Hawken and Kerry Hornett. Paul tells me they are psychic mediums. Should be an interesting show!

Another Blast From Your Past: There She Goes

Another fab track from my youth!

The first version of the song was released by The La's in 1988, and again on January 2, 1989, but failed to chart. The track was remixed in 1990 for inclusion on their debut album The La's. This version was issued as a single on October 22, 1990, and hit number 13 in the British charts.

A Blast From Your Past: The Girl from Ipanema

"The Girl from Ipanema" was written in 1962, with music by Antonio Carlos Jobim and Portuguese lyrics by Vinicius de Moraes with English lyrics written later by Norman Gimbel.

This version performed by Astrud Gilberto, along with João Gilberto and Stan Getz, from the 1964 album Getz/Gilberto, became an international hit, reaching number five in the United States pop chart, number 29 in the United Kingdom, and charting highly throughout the world.

Ipanema is a neighborhood located in the southern region of the city of Rio de Janeiro.

A lovely song!

On Wednesday, I stood in for Paul Salmon on the Eternal Spirit Radio Show. I really enjoyed it and would like to thank Paul for allowing me to present it. It must have seemed strange listening to someone else presenting his show.

Gary has again kindly asked me to co-host the Wednesday Breakfast Show. So join us at 7.00 am for three hours of chat, great music and interviews.

I will also be sitting in on the Eternal Spirit Radio Show as Paul Salmon may not be able to make it. So you will have to put up with me for an hour from 10.00 am!

Happy Birthday Tel!

It was Tel's birthday today. So a Big Happy Birthday from me and The Beatles!

Darren Mann of ICR's Monday Breakfast Show

Many of you (or perhaps not) will know that Darren co-hosts ICR's Monday Breakfast Show.

Darren Mann. A very 'arty' black and white shot.

So tune in to to ICR 105.7 FM EVERY Monday from 7.00 am for three hours of good music, chat and interviews.

But Darren does other stuff as well. He also presents a 'webisode' series called 'Fact or Faked' with Amelia Tyler on the SyFy website.

So what is Fact or Faked? The team basically cast their critical eyes (all four of them) over footage of UFO's, monsters and other strange and wonderful things that have been allegedly captured on video by an unsuspecting public . Darren is a skeptic so you can expect a rather critical take on some of the stuff shown.

Darren has recently written a book on Cork ghosts. It should be published in the near future....... I think.

Anyway, here is the link to his series:

http://www.syfy.co.uk/videocategories/Fact%2Bor%2BFaked%253A%2BParanormal%2BFiles

Another Blast From Your Past: Elvis

Two of my favourite Elvis songs. 'Memories' and 'If I Can Dream' from his 1968 TV Comeback Special.

Fab!

A Blast From Your Past: Over My Shoulder

"Over My Shoulder" is a song by Mike and The Mechanics. It was released in early 1995 as a single from their album 'Beggar on a Beach of Gold'. It reached number 12 in the charts.

And Yet Another Friday Breakfast Show

Tel and John rehearsing in Christchurch Park. The ducks were less than amused. Two of the birds were later taken to Animal Hospital with suspected trauma

We are back with another Friday Breakfast Show.

We only have one guest this week. Joanne Brannan will be taking about the Low Carbon Farm Trust. That's organic farming to you and me.

Filming in Ipswich

The end of the course. That's a wrap folks!

If Captain Kirk joined ICR

Jim's interview technique leaves a lot to be desired

Jim's chat up line proves a BIG vote winner with ICR's female presenters 

Jim's new co-host proves rather picky when it comes to the tec stuff

No Comment!

A Blast from Your Past: Here, There and Everywhere by The Beatles

One of the greatest love songs ever written.

"Here, There and Everywhere" was written primarily by Paul McCartney and was recorded for the Beatles 1966 album Revolver. John Lennon reportedly told McCartney it was "The best tune on the album" and said in his 1980 Playboy interview it was "one of my favourite songs of the Beatles."

The song was inspired by Paul's romance with Jane Asher.

Neil Innes on ICR 105. 7 FM

Me with Neil Innes. He liked my Rutles t shirt!

Neil and Sue from Macmillan Cancer Support were just fab on the Friday Breakfast Show. I hope to get part of the interview uploaded to You Tube in the very near future.

Neil with Paul Salmon of ICR's Eternal Spirit Radio Show

It was fascinating to hear Neil talk about his life as a celeb. To think that he was with Paul McCartney when he first played 'Hey Jude' to his friends! Mind blowing!

Neil's Woodbridge concert in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support has sold out. But if you want to make a donation to this very worthy cause you can do so via their website. Here is the link: Macmillan

Neil Innes on the Friday Breakfast Show ICR 105.7 FM

The Great Friday Breakfast Show Debate

A legal disclaimer. This photo is not intended to represent either Me or Tel.

Listeners to the Friday Breakfast Show will know that we have been discussing the pros and cons of the 70's Safari Suit. Does it deserve another chance? Would you like to see us wear one on the show? What did it feel like to wear one without a shirt? Was Roger Moore the only man who could wear it with a casual degree of self-confidence?

Roger Moore wearing a fetching example of the classic 70's Safari Suit.

So what do you think? Why not join the debate that has divided the people of Ipswich. Email us with your views at studio@icrfm.co.uk every Friday from 7.00am.

A Blast From Your Past: The Fab Rutles!

And here is the fab Rutles (with Neil Innes as Ron Nasty) performing 'It's Looking Good' at Che Stadium!



I am a BIG Rutles fan. I love the Rutles so much that I even adopted the 'Ron Nasty look' for a brief time in the 90's. Here is a picture of me at a 'Destructo Art' exhibition in London. I submitted a piece of work entitled 'Plastic Duck Without Head'. Saatchi loved it.
