Sense?
It was 3.30 am, adrenalin rushing from being chased by the cops, listening to RHK at full volume, drunk.. and you want sense?

Oh, ye civics...

Still sounds as good today n'all...


THIS is the better one but I can't find the d/l link so buy it.

I know Richard, and have had the pleasure of working with him on two singles by Workforce, back in the late 80s. I've not seen him for years, but the last I heard he was living in Crookes. I have very fond memories of him as a nice, humorous and generous guy. I still have the bootleg video of A Clockwork Orange [at the time it was banned- 80s], which he brought back from America. Long may he continue to delight us with his inventive, original music.

Have you seen Made in Sheffield?

I have indeed. I knew many of the buggers too.

What on earth happened with the Richard H Kirk set at Razor Stiletto? It seemed like he only played for about ten minutes.

urm, im not really sure. i was too enamoured with the beautiful gwendoline and engrossed in a conversation about poledancing and salsa lessons with some randoms.

yes, it was one of those nights.

didnt see you though agent, where were you hiding?

I left early, Richard H Kirk barely played and the bar was extortionate. £11.50 for two pints of Heineken and a Red Stripe, and £6.50 for a double vodka Red Bull.

All in all I spent the most part of £30 on entry and 4 drinks!!!!! I don't go to Razor Stiletto very often but I wont be going if its at Sutra/Pravda again.

im inclined to agree- the bar was a bit knackers.

not enough staff, ran out of most draft lager, ran out of cider.....good job we were on the gin!

we paid £6 for 2 single gin and mixers per round- which i just stumped up, coz i didnt want to drink bottles of alcopops.

other than that, we had a good night, but i think it was because we made it a good night rather than it just happening by itself like previous razors.

pity, but id still go again- depending who was on.

Richard's work with Cabaret Voltaire had a much greater impact upon contemporary music than is sometimes recognised. For example, Richard, Steve 'Mal' Mallinder and Chris Watson [the original line-up] once attended a lecture by Brian Eno, acknowledged as a 'founding father' of contemporary British electronic music, at York University in 1974. Kirk handed a rather brusque Eno a tape of early Cabs material, featuring the pioneering use of drum machines/rhythm generators. A year later, Brian Eno released the album, 'Another Green World', which has had an incalculable influence upon modern music. The album features various tracks [ for example, 'Sombre Reptiles'] which make great use of drum machines/rhythm generators. Eno has never acknowledged the influence of early Cabaret Voltaire, yet the influence is clearly there in the legendary album.

No Escape is great. Multi-layered and just ace. Wow.

Indeed. My all time favourite Cabs track is 'Obsession' with its hypnotic beat and short-wave radio effects. I have fond memories of the lads filming part of their first video ['Doublevision present; Cabaret Voltaire', 1982] at Sheffield University Drama Studio which I got a credit on, having suggested to them that they use the camera skills of my friend, St.John Walker. Happy days.

Where is/was Western Works? Or is it a secret? For some reason this has been bugging me for ages ...

Is that the one credited to 'Saxon'? Another thing I've always wondered is whether that's a cover of a song by South Yorkshire's Spinal Tap prototype band of the same name? Surely not??

It was, indeed may still be, located at Portobello, behind West Street and rather near to both Jessop's Hospital and the sacred Henderson's Relish factory.

Thanks timo :thumbsup:

I'll have a look next time I'm down there. That's just round the corner from where Artery used to practise (in a room above what's now the Boots in Glossop Road, I believe) - maybe that area should be re-designated the "Experimental/Post-Punk Pop Music Quarter"? [Or "Heritage Zone"?]

Thanks timo :thumbsup:

That is a fine idea, my good Captain. Sadly, Sheffield has a poor record where matters of heritage are concerned. Mind you, as Vice Chancellor of Central University Neepsend Tip Site, I recently opened the Martin Lilleker Centre for Poptastic Journalism, and we are in the process of having statues of Richard Kirk, Phil Oakey and Jarvis Cocker erected. So, I am doing my bit in a very real sense.

Timo, do you know Pete Marchetto

Timo, do you know Pete Marchetto

I used to know Pete Marchetto [or 'Pocket Pete', as I affectionately remember him] back in the 1980s, when he was a journalist with Sounds. Amrik Rai of the NME was his rival in Sheffield. The thing I remember most clearly about Pete was his genuinely friendly nature, and his exceptionally strong coffee. Haven't seen the cove for around 20 years. Is he still alive?

He's a good friend of mine. He has been out in China for the last few years teaching and travelling and before that he did South America and before that he did Japan. I think he has only been in the country for about 3 months in the last 8 or 9 years. He came over last year and stayed at my house for 3 weeks last year and has a few problems with culture shock.
He has not changed at all in the time I've known him and his coffee is lethal.

My fav RHK track is Testone! He's got some new music out on Sheffield's Dust Science label.

Nice to hear that he is alive and well. Perhaps one day the Marchetto Coffee Company will rival Starbucks?

I find myself in the position of some character in a filmic nightmare trying desperately to communicate with the world of the living having himself passed on.

I have found myself now twice the subject of discussion in these pages in the kind of reminiscent tones one tends to utilise for those whose mortal coil has been shuffled off and again I rise to say I am here, I live, commune with me, hear my plaintive cry, doubtless again to no avail.

Pete. Pete Marchetto. Pocket Pete. [Pocket Pete? I'll bite yer nadgers the next time I see you, John] Far away mayhaps but breathing still.

And who IS Timo?

Ah, you are alive then. Doing a google search of your name again to pass the time
