WASTED YOUTH

[PAUL]

WHAT HAS HAPPEND TO THE MEMBERS OF WASTED  YOUTH

[TerryMurphy]

yes Paul ,they are all okay, Ken has been ill, but he is fighting back,Rocco is the only playboy these days,all have partners, except Nick Nicole who is still fancy free.and single
Darren has a lovely wife and three children, i am trying to get a reunion together, they will not play any music,
so do you think  its worth it?

[Dell]

Terry,
of course it would be worth it! Just play the music, watch 'Survivors', maybe a 3 song set - that'd do!
What about an 'unplugged' set?
Come on Terry - pull those strings!

regards

Dell

I  KNOW DARREN, KENNY,ANDY AND WENT TO SCHOOL WITH ROCCO. I WAS ASKING YOU ABOUT RUPTURE PLAYING WITH THE TICKETS AND WHAT DATE, ITS BECAUSE I WAS THE DRUMMER AND I CANT REMEMBER. WE PLAYED WITH THEM ABOUT 7 - 8 TIMES AT THE B/H AND BACKED THE WHITE CATS. I SEE DARREN A BIT IN STRATFORD BUT HAVENT SEEN THE OTHERS FOR YEARS.IT WOULD BE GOOD TO SEE THEM AGAIN JUST TO TALK ABOUT THE NIGHT WE HAD IN THE B/H IN THE LATE 70 S

[TerryMurphy]

Gone but not forgotten,Wasted Youth.I have just been approached by a American company  Anthology Recordings
who want to digitaly down load there single collection ,Memorialize I hope to get a link to there site,also remember you can see the video of jealousy on u.tube and other track on Myspace .the other alternative is to buy  the whole recording collection from our web site this includes the DVD of there gigs at the  Bridge house,they are all sold seperately.T.M

[TerryMurphy]

Nice to see Darren Andy,,Rocco and Nico, And Tom the roady,at Mick atkins funeral,its sad that the only time we see old freinds these days,are at Funerals,it use to be weddings but nobody get married these days.Big pity Ken Scott never arrived,he phone with his appoliges in the morning a family upset stopped him from arriving.but glad to say,all is okay with him.,we have not seen them  all together for 25 years,so maybe one day, Regards Terry M

I just heard a track called 'Radio' by Steve Hillage?. Released in 1977. If you like the Youth song Survivors have a listen to this.

[TerryMurphy]

Lee, are you saying Wasteds Song ,survivors has been plagiarized by the band,or just a genuine mistake, Are you talking  Lyrics Or melody. i have never heard ,Steve Hillage Radio ,has it been re released ,remember you are talking to me, a Bridge House Music publisher,and if what you say it true
could lead to a high court visit,So play it again and give us a better Oppion.T.M

[Lee Drury]

Hello Terry, Ken is lucky the other fellas people werent knocking on his door, as this record was released in 77.
Ken was older than the rest of us and his musical taste was wider than we gave him credit for.
If you can listen to this track do, as you will see what I mean.
Its only the opening part of survivors that sounds like the other song but in my opinion its too close to be an accident. We all do it!
Lee.
