What's a "ukule"?

DC

- The Beatles 鈥� This could be a Beatles programme with instruments ranging from bass harmonica (Mr. Kite) to piccolo trumpet (Penny Lane). Here Ringo鈥檚 on packing case trying to sound like:
Buddy Holly & The Crickets 鈥� Jerry Allison slaps his thighs but it sounds to me more like a typewriter. A celesta (Sugar Plum Fairy) is also used.
- Jet Harris & Tony Meehan 鈥� An early use of the Fender VI six string bass. Later appears on the Beatles鈥� disappointing White Album.
- The Troggs 鈥� Featuring the ocarina (Shown above - 鈥淪prinkle some fairy dust on it鈥�)
The Box Tops 鈥� Features an
- Gryphon 鈥� Bassoon.

#12 refers to #10

#11

The White Album is my favourite disappointing Beatles' album.

Supertramp used cardboard boxes on Dreamer

听
??? They slept in them?

Lovely Rita meter maid - The Beatles I'm sure they used hair combs and paper.
Roxy Music - Love is the drug - paper being torn.
Rolf Harris and his wobble board and didgeridoo!
Tubular Bells - Mike Oldfield - must be a few strange instruments in that one.
looking forward to this one.

Accordion

#16 yep, dreaming all the time

aww thnx for the nice shout.on the bus tae london fields in the morning for training.

i recently heard on the radio a pop song from the here and now and there was a blast of the uilleann pipes on it.
the only problem is i missed the name of the song and the name of the band....i was concentratin' tryin tae get in tae that waitrose car park. its no' easy.
i don't suppose i'll get that on unless sumdee knows what i'm talkin' aboot.

cheers frae the london fields

Hum it and we'll guess

- Mick Jagger - From his Primitive Cool album, this features the Chieftain's Paddy Moloney on Uilleann pipes but you would have recognised Mick's voice. Paddy seems to have worked with everyone from Mike Oldfield to The Muppets.

Zills, also zils or finger cymbals, (from Turkish zil, "cymbals" [1]) are tiny metallic cymbals used in belly dancing and similar performances.[2] They are called s膩j膩t (氐丕噩丕鬲) in Arabic. They are similar to Tibetan tingsha bells.

I didn't know that but wikipedia told me so it must be true.

So take a Zill or zills, add some cowbells and you have the intro to
Concrete and Clay / Unit 4 plus 2

hi again....

having the luxury of a paperwork day and listening to random tracks and so will probably pop in and out of the GIO blog all day....

Just listened to the great Kate Bush, who used a number of unique instruments on her songs, boudrain drums, pipes etc....

how about setting the BB producers a challenge and find the rare recording of her singing
Marvin Gayes....Sexual Healing...on which is the haunting sound of the UILEANN PIPES...played masterfully by Davy Spillane....

or indeed....we can hear him play these pipes on the rare solo track by GARY KEMP.....an inexperienced man....

DRT

CHURCH BELLS as the intro for the sensual world......
also those uileann pipes...again....

DRT

#22 A great suggestion Glen. Brilliants song.

David A Stewart must be really rather clever because he has, and has played, a Coral Sitar. No idea how you would make a coral sitar but anyway he plays it on this:

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Don't Come Around Here No More

ON AGAIN.....SORRY

probably not be played...as i dont think it would sit with the GIO audience or BB....

the Penguin Cafe Orchestra created tunes with rather stange " musical " instruments and influences......

a harmonium........played on specifically...MUSIC FOR A FOUND HARMONIUM
or PERPETUUM MOBILE....which was recented sampled by AVICII on the LEONA LEWIS song COLLIDE

or PCO....had a tune called...TELEPHONE AND RUBBERBAND

DRT

Mellotron:

Bob Seger - Turn The Page

Bowie - Rock n Roll With me

Remember the Alamo - Otway & Barrett

This version featured cannons firing in the background.

Given that today is the anniversary of the fall of the Alamo in 1836, I would reckon it has to be a shoo in

Not really being used as an instrument though DC. I'd thought of the airconditioning unit used at the start Deep Purple's Fireball, but discarded it as a sound effect.

On the other hand here, are two types of Mouse Organs:

#27

There's a harmonium too.

MUSICAL SAW:

'Don't get Hung Up In Your Soul' - Richard Hawley.

I've heard this live...it's grrrreat...please Get It On!

is no George Formby.

I see Bryan has joined in the nearly anagram competition on his header!

ALEC鈥橲 INTERLUDE 鈥� VARIATIONS ON A THEME BY ROSSINI by CONTRABAND

which ALEC BAIRD plays on HEAD鈥︹�︹��(yes)

#36
Well its funny you should say that Thing Fish because in #11 Glen says it's thighs being slapped in "Everyday" by Buddy Holly, when I was always believed that it was Benny Hill slapping Jackie Wright's bald head on it.

Is Henri still in Berlin?

Join Together / The Who

One and One is One / Medicine Head

Both feature what is now referred as a 'Jaws Harp', slight amendment to it's name due to political correctness I guess.

Al.

Marimba solo on:

"Moonlight Feels Right" - Starbuck

Is that Paul Gambacinni on vocals???

Guiro at the start, the bit that sounds like a washboard....

Gimme Shelter / Rolling Stones

Still my favourite RS track.

Al.

Overused in the seventies but used to great effect here.

Talk Box

Haitian Divorce / Steely Dan

Al.

#30 if the cannons go off in time to the beat, they're instruments as opposed to sound effects

Ask the Myles Brothers

Off topic, but have a look at this Top 20 most played Manchester acts in the 21st century, in terms of airplay (anywhere).

Smokestack Woman - Black Country Communion - theremin

Dare To Be Controversial

If we hear that wee Lancastrian whiner once more on "the show where you choose the music".. I'm gonnae banjo the tranny in the corner! >8-0

Bee Gees? Aye, and Cranhill's most played are AC/DC.

a nice marimba.

That doesn't leave many opportunities for jokes about female genitals?
