City Ways - On Parole

Video made from our cells in lockdown by email and Whatsapp During lockdown because of the Covid pandemic, unable to perform in public, rehearse with other musicians of go out of the house. I reverted to recording and videoing at home with help of other musicians via the internet and Whatsapp. This playlist is the result. Hope you like it. On Parole are two musicians from North Shields. Larry Page - guitars and vocals, and Steve Rudd - bass, guitars and vocals On Parole’s music has it’s roots in the blues and rock of the early seventies but is influenced by all the music the band has covered over the decades, be it pop soul, reggae or folk. Larry and Steve first met as teenagers and instantly became firm friends, having the same interests and values. Led Zeppelin and Wishbone Ash were their heroes and they wanted to emulate them and formed a band called Oblivion. The year was 1974, playing covers of Free, Rolling Stones, Wishbone Ash, Rory Gallagher etc to an audience at a local arts festival. After the gig they went to the office to collect the fee. The event organiser had run off with the money and they didn’t get paid. That’s rock and roll I guess! #singersongwriter #songwritercircle #musicvideo #newmusic #music #originalmusic #musiclover #musicislife #musician #artist #songwriter #songwriters #lyrics #lyricist #vocals #vocalist #femalevocalist #malevocalist #guitar #keyboards #piano #saxophone #livemusic #originalmusicians https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2kSYwfOn7UhQa8hLCaYVsWrAiDoErYF0&si=qzX1TfoBDfk1vtAe https://onparole.uk
