Willy Finlayson and the Hurters: Very Much Alive:
Rhythm and Blues soul review by masters of the craft, featuring legendary UK musicians.
Early in 1991, I went to the Red Lion pub in Brentford to visit Charlie, who was doing a gig with a singer I had not heard of, Willy Finlayson. It was a Sunday lunch gig, and when I arrived the place was packed quite literally to the rafters. The band was an all star line up, including guitarist Mickey Moody. Willy Finlayson is a fantastic singer and at this gig he was very much at the height of his powers with an unusually good set. Largely on impulse, egged on by Charlie’s enthusiasm, I decided to make a live recording of this line up.For the recording John Etchells was again the engineer. Researching mobile recording studios led us to the Advision mobile truck, at that time ?850 per day, which was on hire to Prince for the two weeks before we used it. Around that time I met Dave Mackay, who owned a Mitsubishi digital multi track, which, with considerable effort because its a heavy machine, we loaded onto the Advision truck for the recordings with the agreement that we would mix the album at Dave’s Studio in Woldingham.The venue was booked for Friday Night, Saturday night and Sunday lunch to enable us to record three versions of each track. What followed was a great fun weekend with huge amounts of energy crackling around.The ‘Hurters’ on the album are – MICKEY MOODY on guitar, MATT IRVINE on keys, NIGEL PORTMAN SMITH on bass, and CHARLIE MORGAN on Drums.Willy was in fine voice throughout. All three shows were packed and those present will remember the electric atmosphere in the room.The album was mixed in four fun filled days at Dave Mackay’s studio in Woldingham by John Etchells. There were a ‘very few’ overdubs on the vocal parts, mostly because of technical limitations with live sound, but in essence the recording remains an honest reflection of a top class group of musicians. The track ‘On the air tonight’ has a special value, with the crowds participation playing an important role in the arrangement.John Graham again provided the cover photography, with Willy using my Casio Stratocaster for the cover picture, and the artwork design was by Sku Richards.The album was released in mid 91 on a small scale and via gig sales and internet promotion sold close to 2,000 pieces. Following an approach from Germany, there was a license deal and the prospect of a release in Germany followed by a tour. I visited Germany to make the arrangements and had a super time, meeting Albert Lee, staying at Frank Farians former studio, and drinking some excellent German beer, however the proposed tour and release never quite materialized. Another reminder that making money out of recordings is not easy. The album though remains an honest recording of some great musicians playing at the top of their game.

ОтветитьУдалитьWilly Finlayson & the Hurters - Very Much Alive
ОтветитьУдалить1992 Press release.
One of the most compelling new acts on the London pub and club circuit at the moment should also strike a familiar chord..... since it is comprised of some of the most established and respected names in British R n' B.
Called THE HURTERS, these guys have paid plenty of dues and suffered their share of don'ts during their illustrious years on the British music scene. For some time now the band have met every Sunday at The Red Lion in Brentford to perform their own brand of soulful Rhythm and Blues to an audience whose support borders on the fanatical.
The band is fronted by former Meal Ticket main man, WILLY FINLAYSON. Willy is well known for his hit single On the air tonight, which received considerable airplay locally, and became a top ten hit in several European countries.
On guitar, former Whitesnake stalwart MICKY MOODY provides his own special brand of virtuosity. Micky, who co-wrote the smash hit Fool for your loving, performs a slide guitar composition, Moody's Mississippi, which confirms his stature as one of the UK's finest slide guitarists.
Continuing the Hurters pedigree line-up is MATT IRVING on keyboards. Aside from his prolific session work, Matt's peerless R & B reputation has been featured on tours by the likes of Chris Rea, Squeeze, Alison Moyet and Paul Young.
On drums is the celebrated sessioneer CHARLIE MORGAN. Charlie has played with artists including Elton John, Kate Bush, Gary Moore, Phil Lynott, George Michael, Tasmin Archer and Tina Turner.
Completing the Hurters line up is NIGEL PORTMAN-SMITH on bass. Nigel has previously featured in the Eric Burdon Band and Stan Webb's Chickenshack.
The Hurter's live reputation is built on real music....music that transcends passing fashion and does not rely on programmed samples to deliver its roots Rock'n'Roll appeal. The repertoire includes I've got news for you, Shaky ground You don't know like I know as well as a rousing version of Willys On the air tonight.
Thanks errny!🤙💙🎼😎
Brother, daba, thank you very much! God bless us!
