Talking Heads With Roddie Cleere

Arts


Send videos/images to :  rockprops@googlemail.com Back in the post Thin Lizzy days, Laurence Archer wrote and performed with Phil Lynott. Sadly, Grand Slam was cut short in its prime, with Philip Lynott’s untimely death leaving a hole in the fabric of rock music to this day. Laurence went on to make his name playing with UFO but always nurtured a long-term plan to rebuild the Grand Slam machine. And here it is — primed and ready. The new band (Laurence alongside Mike Dyer, Benjy Reid and Dave Boyce) honours the traditions of the band’s history whilst also looking to the future — classic tracks co-written by Lynott and Archer sit alongside a set of brand new songs that embody the same ethos of freedom, positivity and adrenaline that ran through Grand Slam in 1984. -  THE SHORT CLIP (30SECS) AT THE END IS THE ORIGINAL PHILIP RECORDING OF 'DEDICATION' Original line-up Phil Lynott - bass guitar, lead vocals Doish Nagle - rhythm guitar Laurence Archer - lead guitar Mark Stanway - keyboards Robbie Brennan - drums Current line-up Laurence Archer - guitar Mike Dyer - vocals Dave Boyce - bass Benjy Reid - drums                                                                                                                    WEBSITE // FACEBOOK --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/talking-heads/message
