Interview / Review: Friends Of Mine Festival 2011 with The Charlatans ...
May 20th-22nd saw the first Friends Of Mine Festival take place at the idyllic Capesthorne Hall, Cheshire, showcasing a great line up of established acts such as Bad Lieutenant , the Buzzcocks and The Cribs alongside newly signed bands including Factory Floor and Where’s Strutter? .
The typical British weather, which even included a stage blowing down, couldn’t dampen spirits as three days of great music was ended on the Sunday’s main stage by curator Tim Burgess ‘ performance with The Charlatans .
Live4ever was in attendance and was lucky enough to catch a few of the artists who helped to make this brand new event an undoubted success over the course of the weekend…
A familiar face around his home city’s music scene, Manchester-native Terry Christian , was busy interviewing bands for a new F.O.M documentary, as well as introducing some of the festival’s performances.
How did you get involved in the Friends of Mine Festival?
Well, I just got asked really. Originally I just thought it was to host the bands on stage but they’re also doing a little documentary, behind the scenes type of thing. So I’ve had a bit of involvement in that because we’ve got all these youngsters doing it, so I’m helping out and giving them a point in the right direction; when they’re not too sure, give them a bit of support. That and interviewing the bands.
Would you agree we’re lacking for music festivals in the North West and Manchester region like F.O.M?
In a way, but we get a lot of gigs in Manchester – statistics show that Manchester sells tickets more and faster than anywhere in the country. A guy I know who runs the MEN Arena told me gigs are like the new pictures, where parents take their kids out to watch a Beyonce show. With festivals it can rely on the weather a lot but F.O.M’s turning out great with some good bands on the bill.
Are you a regular festival-goer then Terry?
I sort of dipped my toe in the water but never did the whole staying in tents and all that, I was too lazy and a creature of comfort even as a youngster, but I used to get free tickets for Castle Donnington, which wasn’t my music but I loved the excess of it all; like watching Whitesnake arrive on stage by helicopter and lowered down on ropes with explosions going off, fantastic!

Andrex Extra Soft Blog Roll: The Lightning Seeds - Change
The Lightning Seeds started out in the late 1980s as a side project for Ian Broudie - a respected record producer and ex-band member for legendary Liverpool punk band Big In Japan, a band more famed not for being successful but for spawning band members that would later have a successful career (Holly Johnson, Bill Drummond et al). Initially a low-key affair it allowed Broudie to make some of his own music and continue to help and produce other acts. Change was released in January 1995 and was the second single released from Jollification. The album and this single would prove to be the turning point for the band. Firstly it would provide their biggest chart hit to date reaching number 13, but also it could no longer be classed as a one-man's-side project. Signed to a new label which took the band seriously, they were now a serious proposition and with a touring line-up put together, Ian Broudie would now focus full time on the Lightning Seeds. Touring the US and a new outlook to making videos resulted in the glossy and well produced promotional video for Change. The packaging also signified better promotion and marketing. It was released in four formats - 7" vinyl, cassette and two CD singles - with unique artwork. Now all the artwork surrounding Jollification-era singles had strawberries of some kind, and this was probably the best example complete with Groucho Marx disguises. The digi-pak had a pull-out section where you could "Change" (geddit???) the strawberry into a disguised one. This is rocket science stuff, this you know! This was the song that got me into the band in the first place. I'd seen the video on things like the Chart Show and also had a Top Gear compilation where this little gem was hidden in amongst some ace rock songs. This is the song I remember playing the most and wanted to know more about the band that did it. Turns out they made songs I already knew - The Life of Riley and Sense. I found a copy of Jollification in my local independent record shop, which is alas, no more. I've never really looked back, as Jollification to date remains my firm favourite album of all time. If you don't own it, why not? You really, really should. There are a couple of versions of the song, the album version and the single edit. Don't bother with the single version as it cuts out a portion of the guitar break and a verse. What remains on both versions is the driving guitar through the song with a distinctive lead guitar sound.
