Pop Quiz

What happens if you take a touch of Free, throw in a dash of Led Zeppelin and stir in some Guns and Roses for good measure?

Has anyone got the answer?

Mmm I'm lost with the Guns n Roses connection, I am afraid to say that I know nothing of their output other than the songs that made the radio playlists in the nineties

Clues please?

The question is the clue and the clue's in the question.

One more clue. Jimmy Page and Phil Lynott's mum are both fans of the band.

The answer my friend isn't blowing in the 'wind. But it is a lot closer than you think. You need to rise to the challenge.

I reckon it's a band featuring former members. Unfortunately, all I've found so far is:
Woodstock '94
Paul Rodgers Rock & Blues Revue
With Slash, Neal Schon, Andy Fraser, Jason Bonham.

Plan B is a band that sounds something like the above, so I'll suggest something Oirish like The Answer or Glyder.

I picked up a copy of the special edition of Everyday Demons the other week. Excellent stuff. The live bonus disk reminds me more of Free. In fact Paul Rogers has guested with them in the past.

I've got a Glyder album on order, Playground For Life. The tracks of their's I've heard sound like a modern day version of Thin Lizzy. Not surprisingly Phil Lynott's mother is a fan of their's too.

Northern Ireland seams to be a hotbed for new 'classic' rock bands at the moment.

So was Glyder the answer, or not? Or where? Or who? Or what? Or when? I'm confused.

The Answer is the answer pop pickers.

I saw The Answer supporting Whitesnake, a couple of years ago. They were ... (long pause, tumblebrush drifts past) ... competent.

Still, Whitesnake aren't the Whitesnake we grew up with. You need M3 (Marsden Moody Murray) for that. Back in the 80s, Coverdale went off to the States, in search of dollars, and created something which is still better than Def Leppard. (Cough!)

But, I do recommend Tommy Aldridge's other band: Thin Lizzy. Sykes, Gorham, Aldridge, and bass player du jour. Some folks say "it's not Lizzy without Lynott", but it's still an excellent evening's entertainment.

Summer Love - The Narcotic Daffodils 🌞❤

1.  Summer Love 2. Naturally High 3.  Guardians 4. Hypnotized 5. You can't get 6. Bruxelles 7.  Atomic 53 It's been three years since the band's last album, Cellex, was released, and there have been a number of personnel changes since then, with Luna taking up vocal duties, Arne the drums and Maria the Guitar. I remember hearing Maria playing with an all-girl band many years ago and they blew me away, so the prospect of her joining the Narcotic Daffodils  was exciting. As before, the bass is supplied by the inimitable Flupke with Simon providing Sitar and keyboard licks on the Hammond. 1. Summer Love Any fears that the new lineup have lost the spirit of the old are quickly dispelled by the opening and title track of the album, Summer Love. Gilly Smythe, Gong # style, whisper-voices draw you in before Flupke's bass kicks in with the Hammond, underpinning, proceedings. The song ends with a melange of Sitar and synth, underlining the fact that the Nar

Daffodils & Crêpes

I wandered lonely as a cloud, That floats on high o'er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crepe eating crowd, A host, of narcotic daffodils. L'amuse Gueule crêperie, a strange venue for music, but in psychedelia strange is good. The last pancakes were munched, the diners departed and the strains of a sitar filled the air. Cue guitar, bass & drums and some hypnotic, pulsating music from The Narcotic Daffodils . At times reminiscent of Hawkwind in their prime, the band produced a wall of sound that had me in head banging heaven. They did however vary their sound quite a bit, with two covers thrown into the mix for good measure. Personally I'd like to hear them do more psychedelic material, but speaking to keyboardist and Sitar maestro Simon Rigot after the show, they want to keep their music varied. But hey, a heady cocktail of rock and mind expanding melodies is OK by me. I'd also like to hear more Sitar, but as Simon also plays keyboards that would be a tad
