I was alerted to the Licorice news this morning by a new friend of the ISB
@iammilliam.bsky.social . I told him that I felt several people close to the band had known for some years and decided to respect her life choices. I was lucky enough to see Likky, Rose, Robin & Mike in 1969…

It's impossible to overemphasise the importance of Bob Lamb in the musical life of Birmingham. If he'd lived in Manchester or Liverpool he would've had his own South Bank Show. He made the better Kiss Me and the first Lilac Time album. Eternally grateful and sending love xsd

I saw the great poodle in the sky. Now I know we’re going to be alright.

The Lilac Time: LIVE from 2007 the night before we played The Green Man. It’s magical record, one of our best. I’ve worked hard to make it sound as much like a studio album as possible. Think of it as our Skull And Roses, The Last of the Red Hot Burritos or Get Your Ya Ya’s Out @burningshed.com

We’ve got two new albums that can be ordered today via Burning Shed. The remastered LFADITN sounds incredible thanks to Miles at Abbey Road. The live album is magical, one of our best. I tried to make it sound like a studio album. It’s our Skull And Roses! Thank you @needlemythology.bsky.social

Thank you @uncut_magazine & #jondale.

“What many missed at the time, though, was that his songwriting was hitting its peak - each of the 12 songs here are jewel-like marvels.

Extras 9/10: A live album, and a beautiful set of contemporaneous demos.”

On the first Lilac Time tour of the US in 1989. We played well known venues like Ye Olde Triple Inn New York and the Tinker Street Café in Woodstock. Still can’t believe this wasn’t our Ed Sullivan moment.
