Aintree Iron: The Autobiography of Fred and Mercy Rimell

Product Information

Aintree being the famous Racecourse in Liverpool, and an "iron" being a term for a horseshoe, so maybe something to do with being brought luck by a horseshoe from Aintree? Although each of them was a talented composer and distinctive vocal performer, only McGear could even loosely be described as a professional musician and their more musical endeavours were usually augmented with contributions by session musicians.

I said, ‘Yes, please’… We recorded Leave It at Abbey Road, sent it to New York and the Eastmans said, ‘Great, can you do an album? So, dear reader, take a few minutes somewhere between 3 - 5 GMT to send the Hammers your positive forces. I turned down the music business when Brian Epstein asked me, ‘Did I want to be a pop star like me brother?

Why do Scousers who make a packet of money all insist on telling us how fab a city it is whilst making urgent efforts to move away? In early 1971 The Scaffold provided some catchy tunes for inclusion in a television publicity campaign heralding the introduction of decimal currency to the UK. On reading all of the above possibilities I think the meeting place for poets and musicians is the one I will discuss with him. In October 2013 and 2014, the two played at the Heswall Arts Festival with musician and poet Keith Wilson, an occasional member of the line-up since 2008.

Mike McGear and Roger McGough wrote Lily the Pink as a cleaned up version of an earlier American folk song, The Ballad of Lydia Pinkham.

Additionally, although not officially credited as a permanent member of the group during its heyday, guitarist Andy Roberts was a frequent musical collaborator from as far back as 1962, acting as musical director and arranger in a live setting throughout their career and playing on a large number of their releases. In an interview upon the single's release, McGear said "we recorded it because we wanted to bring a spark of happiness into this hard, dull world of ours.

The trio put on a concert to raise funds for the Nordic Church and Cultural Centre in Liverpool in October 2018.McGear also released his first solo album, Woman with some of the musical performers from Grimms, and Grimms as a unit continued with their exhaustive tours of the UK. Despite insisting now that he has no musical or melodic ability, McGear then released his first solo album proper, the excellent Woman (1972), which displays his unique combination of reflective yet tough songwriting, most notably on the title track and the marvellously-titled Bored As Butterscotch. However, after a few whiskies, the vibration from the music would have an effect on him and he would become aggitated and think he was back in the trenches. It used to have a ball room, and other building that was demolished before I was born, whether they have anything to do with the song I don't know, maybe it was a smart choice of words to make the song sound good.

Following the template set by Fresh Liver of more music and less speech, Sold Out was released early in 1975 on Warner Bros. The iron tracks had long since been pulled up but the walk along the raised route towards Maghull still bore that name. Song lyrics don't have to refer to anything and it is possible that the phrase is just a piece of nonsense.Sorry if this is parochial to any non-Brits, but it is of vital importance that all readers send their positive vibes to Cardiff where the match is being played.
