5/12/05 Marseilles : The Angels’ song !

John Brewster, The Angels band‘ guitarist, singer and songwriter of the famous song “Marseilles” is my guest today with Buzz Bidstrup , the drummer, a Meltingpod regular visitor ! The Angels band were in tour in Australia and I called them on Buzz’s cell phone during their interesting activities before playing a show : driving too fast because being late, doing the soundcheck, quickly eating and before springing on stage…answering to Meltingpod and promising to sing Marseilles for Annie !
The first song in the show “Dreambuilder” comes from the first album “The Angels” (released in 1977 by Albert) with Doc Neeson at the vocals.
The new version of Marseilles (released the first time in the album “Face to Face” in 1978) comes from the Angels band’s last live album recorded at the Basement in Sydney in November 2004 (released in 2005).
