Musicians from Milngavie and Bearsden Following Stereophonics Footsteps

The footsteps of the Stereophonics is being followed by talented musicians from Milngavie and Bearsden,when they play at the Classic Grand nightclub in Glasgow at the end of the month.

At the Classic Grand in November 2009 played by Stereophonics and this event ‘Autotrack and Guests,, which has been organised by a sixth year pupil at Bearsden Academy, is going to be just as exciting!

Bilge Morgan, the 17 year old said: “Places on this course are hard to get, it is highly competitive, so I needed to prove that I can organise an event like this.

“It will host four bands and one singer song writer and everyone involved comes from the local schools - Bearsden Academy, Douglas Academy and Boclair Academy.

“They will perform their own songs as well as covers and they are all very excited about taking part as this is a great opportunity to publicise themselves.

“I have even got them a VIP area in the venue, where they can invite some of their friends to ‘hang out’ with them, to make it more rock star!

“Having said that, there is a mixture of alternative and acoustic bands - in one band there is even a ukulele!

“The venue has a capacity for 500 people and I hope it will be a sell-out.”

Stereophonics - Don't Let Me Down - lyrics

Don't let me down, don't let me down,
Don't let me down, don't let me down,

Nobody ever loved me like she does,
oh she does, yeah she does,
And if somebody loved me like she do me,
yeah she do me, she do me good,

Don't let me down, don't let me down,
Don't let me down, don't let me down,

I'm in love for the first time,
Don't you know it's gonna last,
It's a love that lasts forever,
It's a love that had no past,

Don't let me down, don't let me down,
Don't let me down, don't let me down,

And from the first time that she really done me,
oh she done me, she done me good,
I guess nobody ever really done me,
oh she done me, she done me good,

Don't let me down, don't let me down,
Don't let me down, don't let me down

To lose weight on a vodka diet had been tried by Ex-Stereophonics Star Stuart Cable and he died because of it.

In Aberdare, South Wales at his home he died last year in June after choking on his own vomit. A post-mortem said he was five times over the drink-drive limit.

Think Before You Drink,campaign has been launched by Rachel Jones, 33,which is hoping to get stronger warnings on spirit bottles.

She told the Metro Cable had been trying to lose weight ahead of a tour with his new band.

“The guys were getting gig fit,” Jones said. “There are diets that say a vodka is better than half a lager because it is lower in calories but spirits are so strong people don’t realise what they are doing to them.”

Cable was one of the original members of Stereophonics, but was sacked in 2003.

Stereophonics's Stuart Cable Killed by 'Vodka Diet'

Stuart Cable's death led above, a former Stereophonics drummer trying to lose weight drink alcohol lager was stopped, his partner Rachel Jones has revealed.

As reported by Spinner, Cable passed away last June at his mansion in South Wales after a three-day drinking binge to celebrate her 40th birthday.

According to the Daily Record, Jones said, "Stuart was getting ready for a festival. All the guys were getting gig-fit. There are diets that say a vodka is better than half a lager because it is lower in calories. Stuart had a large amount of spirits that night and that took its toll on him.

Spirits are so strong that people don't realise what they are doing to them.

Don't die like Stuart did. If you saw someone drinking poison or bleach you would stop them. People need to be aware that spirits can lead to deaths."

Stereophonics drummer Stuart Cable death due to alcohol

A top legend to the star Stereophonics, alcohol killed them, ex Stereophonics one of the member Stuart Cable drinking for three years after then he death for his own puke.

According to the BBC radio show spoke man says, "In Aberdare the inquest says its just like only accident. The inquest heard that Cable began drinking on Friday, June 4. He presented his BBC radio show the following day and then continued drinking that evening in his local pub. He continued drinking at home until 5 a.m. The drinking continued the next afternoon (Sunday) until late in the evening when Cable fell asleep on the sofa. He never woke again".

Ascertained in stereophonics

Stereophonics drummer Stuart Cable became the Local Boy in the photograph in this year doesn't reality to often copy art.

Guitarist Kelly Jones told the Herald “my best friend”: “He’ll always be 23 / yet the train runs on and on / Past the place they found his clothing /And all the friends lay down the flowers / Sit on the banks and drink for hours / Talk of the way they saw him last / Local boy in the photograph.”

Talking about Javier Weyler, Kelly says: “One minute he was making our tea, the next he was playing drums for us! It was quite a promotion. He’d started to play tambourine on a few tracks then things went a bit funny with our drummer and Javier kind of took over in the studio, and did some demos. Do you fancy coming round the world with us? And he did. Stuff of dreams. Stuart had parted ways with us in 2003 but we were best mates all throughout that while. He was always part of the band, but it was a work thing and we always got on as friends”.

Talking about latest integrant “Jav” Kelly says: “He’s excited, all his family here — even his 90-year-old grandmother is here and I’ll bet she’s never been to a festival before. I’ll bet she’ll never go again! But it will be good. We did Brazil yesterday (Friday) then we’ve got Peru and Chile coming up. And that will be the end of the world tour as we’ve been out for 15 months.”

Welsh band has a large, seven-album catalog pull out tracks from but perhaps the reality of the day job is a bit dull. He includes, “We change the set list as much as we can, to be honest. Tonight we’ll be bringing out all the big singles as we’ve only got 50 minutes, so there is no point in trying to go off there either, as we’ve never played here before. We keep it in trim by changing up songs we play, changing things to the set list and to make it as fresh for us and the audience as we can. If you did the same 20 songs every night, then you would go fucking insane. It’s also a good opportunity to be heard by people who wouldn’t normally know who we are to see us so we get to steal a few fans. Maybe we can steal a few Massive Attack fans!”

Stereophonies last album released in November 2009 Kelly says, “We’re having a good time and the band is in a good place. We all get on really well as mates, and we were all friends before we were in a band. On the next album we’re going to try to mix up music and film and try to do something completely different. It’s the touring that’s time consuming: it takes a year to go round the world, but creatively we’re still very excited about what we’re doing and want to keep going forward and try new things.”

Stereophonics' extras are well worth it

THESE first two albums by the Welsh rockers, dating from 1997 and 1999, are widely acknowledged to be their best.

Word ... contained songs of the calibre of A Thousand Tress, More Life In A Tramp's Vest and Traffic, but it's the extras which makes this reissue – available as a 2CD or 3CD set – worth it.

B-sides Carrot Cake And Wine and Tie Me Up Tie Me Down are as good as anything they've written, and there's eight unreleased songs, including three from a Newcastle University show.

Performance ... was their first No1, propelled by the success of The Bartender And The Thief and Just Looking.

There's deluxe or super-deluxe versions here too, comprising B-sides, BBC sessions and live tracks, with a version of The Kinks' Sunny Afternoon among the highlights. 8/10 each. GW
