Click CD Cover to hear part of a track Craig Charles The Wordsmith & The 'Mighty' Lawnmower "The John Peel Radio Show 1984" "To commemorate Liverpool 08 The European Capital of Culture I have released material by poets and musicians that celebrate the more contemporary 'Soul of Liverpool' that did not always materialise into the mainstream of pop culture. Craig held a very earthy and passionate view of this famous city during a time of national upheaval as we fought against the deprivation and morally bankrupt policies of the Thatcher government. Hands Together Eyes Closed the track featured here is a Charles/Peters/Lawnmower collaboration singled out by John Peel to be featured on his Radio Show for it's overtly political stance and was one of many tracks recorded 'live' at Square One Studios (SOS) Liverpool by this outstanding young Wordsmith. I have worked in and around Liverpool city as a musician since 1964 and can honestly say that it generates a desire to be creative that can only come from the atmosphere created by its people and the inspirational musicians and artists that have helped make it such a great city".

Adrian Henri & Craig Charles Liverpool Beat Poets 1986-87 "Tracks 1-6 feature Adrian Henri & The Lawnmower playing tracks from 'Love Is' to the 'Wasteland' showing the full spectrum of my late friend's poetic sensitivity and the great sense of fun we had when working on poetry and music collaborations. I firmly believe that Adrian Henri's contribution as an artist and poet have yet to be fully recognised and hope that through the supreme efforts of Catherine Marcangeli this will be rectified. Tracks 7-8 feature Craig Charles - The Wordsmith & The 'Mighty' Lawnmower. Before Craig decided to become a TV personality and actor he presented himself as a substantial 'Wordsmith' and although very little of this work became public I am proud to release the 'demo' tracks that secured a John Peel Session". The track 'In England & In Africa" playing here is as relevant now as it was in 1987 - nothin changes!!!!

AL Willard Peterson 'Liverpool Blues' 1. Liverpool Blues (4.41) 2. Remix by 'Eddie' (4.49)
"Liverpool Blues depicts AL's Leavin' of Liverpool and divorce from Bliar's New Labour Party. The Labour Party and Political Democracy died along with the death of John Smith and ever since this country has been in the thrall of US foreign policy guided by the ideals of Negative Liberalism - the neo-con mantra" 2 Track CD Single Groovin' Records (Groove 08) Price £2.49 + £1.00 P&P (UK)

AL Willard Peterson (5 piece) 'The Lawnmower Man' (56.96) A Dozen Choice Cuts! "This CD besides containing the most requested tracks ‘The Cat’, ‘Lawnmower Man’ and ‘Give me a Brandy’ also includes ‘Wasteland’ by Liverpool Beat Poet Adrian Henri. Whilst looking through Groovin’ Records back catalogue I realised that I had overlooked a song by another wordsmith Craig Charles who I managed from 1982 –1985. This work ‘In England and In Africa’ is as relevant today as the day it was written and was the ‘demo’ that clinched the John Peel Sessions". 12 Track CD Groovin'Mayfield (Groove 02/MACD208A) Price £9.99 + £1.50 P&P (UK) |

The Bluesman (Solo) 'No More War Blues' (5.20) The Blues Project for the 21st Century "An original foot-stompin' protest song delivered with a passion and conviction that underlies the maybe somewhat idealistic Anti- War rhetoric that many performers avoid for fear of upsetting their peers. This track pulls no punches and is delivered in a Lennon-esque style yet retains the blues tradition". AL Willard Peterson - vocals, guitar and foot-stomp.
