Just thought I would say hello to the forum. I have made a couple of posts on the Rory thread but thought it would be remiss of me not to say hello to you all on the wider forum.
Best wishes from this newbie.

Hi Pothos and welcome to the forum.
What was your opinion on the Rory Storm and the Hurricanes album released last year? The one it was made out Ringo was playing on because he was on the cover but was actually never on it.

I first heard about the archived material on 6 music. I have also listened to some tracks online and I suspect that some marketing bods wanted to play up the Ringo angle but I thought the tracks were interesting in their own right. I find the limited footage of the early years of the Liverpool (and Hamburg scene) regarding even The Beatles shocking as we are talking about the birth of modern UK music pop/rock culture. Look how different it was 10 - 15 years later with all the archived footage of the likes of Bowie kept for posterity. In regards to Rory I have only seen the one tv clip of the band performing like The Shadows that does not seem to match the impression of this raucous bunch of lads inspired by the skiffle and rock and roll surrounding them. I still cannot get my head around that post WW2 when American guitars are still either too expensive or just banned from being imported 12/13/14 year old were getting together and somehow forming the foundation of our musical culture. When you think about what happened globally because a bunch of kids (and that is what they all were) wanted to make their own music it just blows my mind.
Thanks again for the welcome.
