Bernie Hot Hot

In 1987 I started a band in the time honoured tradition by putting a postcard in the local music shop. I found David Dunne (drummer) and recruited Pete Condor who I knew from a government unemployment scheme which we met on. The band name came from overhearing a Mancunian neighbour warning my three year old son not to touch the oven because it was ‘bernie hot’.
We recorded a session for Manchester’s Piccadilly Radio in a local studio. What the recording lacked in production it made up for in reverb. It was the Eighties.
These tracks have been copied from a 40 year old cassette tape, so don’t expect too much.

I was only talking to Matt Wolff about this yesterday in rehearsal. So great to hear these tracks again. I’m instantly back in the manic time of teaching, private students, rehearsal, off to yesterdays to play with Dougie, bed at 4 and teaching at 11. Great times.

Hi Neil!
I re-recorded Dog’s Life for the James Bisset Volume 1 album a couple of years ago. I couldn’t better the horn arrangement though. Or re-create your lovely little sax coda. :)
Here’s a wee video of me and Pete playing it with the new arrangement. Might bring back memories or just make you feel younger than me!
