James Atkin shares his Splash Story ...EMF are number 1 with Hello People featuring Stephen Fry  Hello People with its’ indie groove is a call to stand with tolerance against the hate-myths of immigration whilst putting a smile on people's faces.Why Stephen Fry? Unbelievable was on his ‘100years of the BBC’ happy mix (along with Dancing Queen and Mrs Robinson) but he was a fan way back before it was a global smash. We met him at an EMF gig at the Astoria in 1992 and he kindly agreed to appear on an EMF song in 1995, reading a dystopian poem about self-destruction on ‘Glass Smash Jack’ from our Cha Cha Cha album. The message of our new song ‘Hello People’ is about tolerance, who better then to verify the facts and emotions about immigration in the face of a flood of hate speech than the most intellectually rigorous and entertaining brain in the world and our very own National Treasure the great Stephen Fry.” - EMF.Watch the Hello People (featuring Stephen Fry) video here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVlMG585qNcThe Hello People video features  is a celebration: It features the faces of EMF’s fans. EMF asked the fans to send in selfies of themselves and their families and cut them into a reel which they project onto the band’s performance of the song. "It’s great to see how people come in all shapes, sizes, colours and cultures, it feels great to welcome them all into the video as EMF welcome people of all shapes, sizes, colours and cultures into our country.” EMF  hit the road starting in January 2024 ...Unbelievable? ...

Splash Stories caught up with alternative rockers Kingmaker recently.  For a time in the early 90’s Hull alternative rockers Kingmaker were the darlings of NME and had Suede tour with them just before their The Drowners release as did Radiohead - Pre Pablo Honey.  Myles Howell: “Kingmaker were influenced by the likes of the Pixies and the Wonder Stuff. We came at that crossover between the underground 80s guitar music and Brit Pop. Their Debut album Eat Yourself Whole in 1991 received critical acclaim and reached No 29 in the charts while the second album Sleepwalking hit No 15. The Killjoy EP also reached No 15 and their best known single 10 Years Asleep also climbed to No 15.

Join Ben Steadman and Diamond Dave on Splash Stories  for a cracking chat with Charlie Beddoes  - Bad Ass bassist turned author of  Overdriven and a regular Splash Club performer visitor and comrade.'A funny, sad and highly compelling page turner, written in the authentic rock and roll voice of the woman who lived it. I loved this book. Can’t wait for the movie version!' Tinkyra'This is the rock autobiography the world needs: not your cliche rags-to-riches tale of how a household name struggled and then made it, but a pithy recounting of an endless slog punctuated by dalliances with major labels and that ellusive breakthrough. Throughout, Beddoes is equally ojective and disarmingly honest, and her narrative is balanced and so magnificently readable. 'Overdriven' provides the insights other autobiographes don't go anywhere near, and it's a cracking read.'           Ed Robinson ‘Charlie Beddoes is a supremely talented bass player who laid down grooves for a range of bands and artists in the 90s and 2000s. Her story is funny, moving, and - most of all - true. This memoir will not only delight musicians and fans, it is a truly literary work with a rhythm and poetry of its own that will appeal to a much wider readership.’ Dr Jon Stewart (Sleeper)To Buy Overdriven visit: https://www.amazon.co.uk/OVERDRIVEN-story-dirty-sound-ambition/dp/B0BP417BKJ/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1T8VBZPA33B&keywords=overdriven&qid=1679672297&sprefix=overdriven%2Caps%2C70&sr=8-1For music videos and more go to:  https://linktr.ee/charliebeddoesbassSupport the Show.Get in touch with Splash Stories : splashclubtv@gmail.comhttps://www.facebook.com/thesplashclubJoin Splash Stories https://www.buzzsprout.com/1891668/supporthttps://www.instagram.com/thewonderstuffofficial/https://www.instagram.com/rickywarwickofficial/https://www.instagram.com/echobelly_official/https://www.instagram.com/officialskunkanansie/https://www.instagram.com/feederofficial/https://www.instagram.com/kcmanc/?hl=enhttps://www.facebook.com/kerbdogband/https://www.instagram.com/sohoradiohttps://www.facebook.com/groups/SoundAsEverhttps://www.pearllowe.co.ukhttps://www.supergrass.comhttps://www.wienerworld.com/product/gary-crowleys-indie-90s-playback-classics-curveballs-and-bangers/Terrorvision Tequila : https://youtu.be/8hLQCA2h8kA?si=7_HfuruL5fFUnMdFhttps://linktr.ee/thesoupdragonshttps://www.merchbar.com/rock-alternative/cj-wildhearthttps://www.facebook.com/CJWildheartOfficial/https://www.instagram.com/cjwildheart/EMF www.emf-theband.comhttps://www.facebook.com/lustforlife1976/...

Splash Stories hosted a special Vive Le Rock podcast with editor and Desperate Measures frontman Eugene Butcher ahead of The Resurrection : The Vive Le Rock awards show on April 6 2023 at London's Shepherd's Bush Empire. Vive Le Rock is the world's only Rock n' Roll Punk & New Wave Magazine celebrating punk, glam, new wave, garage, ska and the darker side of alternative rock and is published 10 times annually. The Vive Le Rock Award show  will feature three unique sets by legendary acts. The headliners are none other than goth punk legends LORDS OF THE NEW CHURCH. Joining the band of The Damned's Brian James, Sham 69s Dave Treganna and Clash drummer Terry Chimes, will be the one and only Michael Monroe of Hanoi Rocks on vocals. Michael was a great friend of Stiv Bators and the perfect fit to take his place for this one-off performance.“The Shepherds Bush Empire was an old variety gig which is what I think the Vive Le Rock show on April 6th is gonna be” states Brain James. “A bunch of different acts doing sensational sets, its got all the makings of being a fun, memorable night and a good excuse to play some old Lords songs dedicated to the one and only Stiv Bators.”NEVILLE STAPLE, from The Specials will lift the roof off with a live set of rudeboy classics with his extraordinary band, and East End street punk/West Ham United legends the COCKNEY REJECTS will rock their classics in a fast & furious awards set.The all-star house band, THE VIVE LE ROCKERS featuring Paul-Ronney Angel and members of Ruts DC, Jim Jones All Stars and Urban Voodoo Machine will back artists including MILLIE MANDERS, BAD BARBEE – Elizabeth Westwood (WESTWORLD) and Jennie Belle Star (THE BELLE STARS), JIM JONES and GIRLSCHOOLs Kim and Jackie. Compere for the event will be Vice Squad frontwoman and trailblazer BEKI BONDAGE with special mystery presenters and guests.“It’s always an honour to be asked to participate in a prestigious Rock ’n’ Roll event, especially when the invitation comes from a man like Eugene who has a bigger quiff than Alvin Stardust,” laughs Beki! “I’d originally planned to go to the VLR awards and get pleasantly hammered but now I’ve been collared into doing some actual work I will have to go easy on the sauce. Hopefully the night will descend into beautiful chaos, gongs will be given, songs will be sung and planks will be spanked Support the Show.Get in touch with Splash Stories : splashclubtv@gmail.comhttps://www.facebook.com/thesplashclubJoin Splash Stories https://www.buzzsprout.com/1891668/supporthttps://www.instagram.com/thewonderstuffofficial/https://www.instagram.com/rickywarwickofficial/https://www.instagram.com/echobelly_official/https://www.instagram.com/officialskunkanansie/https://www.instagram.com/feederofficial/https://www.instagram.com/kcmanc/?hl=enhttps://www.facebook.com/kerbdogband/https://www.instagram.com/sohoradiohttps://www.facebook.com/groups/SoundAsEverhttps://www.pearllowe.co.ukhttps://www.supergrass.comhttps://www.wienerworld.com/product/gary-crowleys-indie-90s-playback-classics-curveballs-and-bangers/Terrorvision Tequila : https://youtu.be/8hLQCA2h8kA?si=7_HfuruL5fFUnMdFhttps://linktr.ee/thesoupdragonshttps://www.merchbar.com/rock-alternative/cj-wildhearthttps://www.facebook.com/CJWildheartOfficial/https://www.instagram.com/cjwildheart/EMF www.emf-theband.comhttps://www.facebook.com/lustforlife1976/...
