Barney Bubbles - Muleskinners T-Shirts |
The late Barney Bubbles was a graphic designer
who attended Twickenham Art College and created posters for gigs on The
Island, such as The Rolling Stones and The Muleskinners (in which his pal,
Ian McLagen played). Paul Gorman has written a book on the life of
Barney Bubbles called Reasons to be Cheerful: The Life and Work of Barney
Bubbles and has re-created Barney's T-shirt that he made for a
poster of a Muleskinners Christmas gig at the Eel Pie Island Hotel.

SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE MOVIEUM - A Night of
Legends
8 November 2008 |
The Movieum of London - the new Movie Museum
situated in the historic County Hall Building near The London Eye was the
venue for a charity event to benefit The Starlight Children's Charity.
Not only was there music from the Eel Pie Club but original 1960s movie
footage from films such as The Italian Job and Tommy, plus a
roaming 'Charlie Chaplin'. Nigel Planer was also there to listen to
the music and draw the raffle. It was
the first time in history that the former GLC Debating Chamber had been used
for a music performance - and what a great venue! The audience sat on
the original green leather chairs in the round, and our Eel Pie Club sign
was hung on Ken's throne. A host of musicians, including The Ali Mac Band, The Blue Bishops, The Dowliners Sect, The Eel
Pie All-Stars with special guests Mick Avory (The Kinks) and
Top Topham (original Yardbirds); Leaf Hound and The Pretty Things
gave memorable performances. The Riverside Cafe, overlooking The
Thames, The London Eye and Big Ben, played host to
acoustic music from Richard Lightman, The Malchicks, and Steve Whalley
and Nigel Hardy.
Many thanks to all the staff at The Movieum
of London and all the musicians and performers concerned for a memorable
night.

ART - Tribute to Art Wood and Celebration of
His Life
|
This amazing event literally 'brought the house
down'. The ceiling started to crumble over Hogg's drummer, Martin
Wright, then later, started coming down in chunks over Kenney Jones.
Neither one missed a beat! And, more importantly, they were not hurt.
We like to think it was Art dancing on the roof! It was a fantastic night and everyone
seemed to know why
they were there. The highlight had to be Ronnie Wood and Geno
Washington joining The Artwoods (Derek Griffiths, Jon Lord and Malcolm Pool
with Ali Mackenzie on vocals and Chris Hunt on drums).
The event raised £8,418 for The Prostate
Cancer Charity.
You can see photos in our Gallery.
