Recently recorded by the good will trio, John enjoyed listening to this in his car in Ireland and fancied having a stab at it
So here is his take on it
lyrics
New wave Dave
“Hello, my name’s New Wave Dave, have ya got a pound”
New wave Dave, are you going to a rave
New wave Dave, are you going to a rave
The sun is flying high no ships in the harbour
Old British Rockers fightin’ Punks in the parlour
Good times bad times things are getting tight
Fanzines are still our vision and our light
New wave Dave, are you going to a rave
New wave Dave, are you going to a rave
If you’re the king of culture who the hell ya gonna save
Ya just got the Velvets in Seventy Eight
With ya shades & black leather, ya always on the make
Poncing off the girls yeah ya such a fukin fake
New wave Dave, are you going to a rave
New wave Dave, are you going to a rave

Guillemot Days whisks us to a glistening shoreline, awash with 10 sublime songs full of serene hope. Compelling right from the buoyant opener Edge Of The World and Butterfly overflows with soaring, twangy sunshine. For a fave, so close with the lush vocals, melodic layers of Flowers Of Hope versus Peace And Plenty: an intriguing, modern parlour song both eerie and exquisite, voices and clarinet blending into something quite special. This album is a musical lighthouse on a dark day. Unmissable. anitajoyce
What a tribute, I haven’t the words to say how this group have been the soundtrack to my life, through good and bad.
Anything that helps is the least I can do, missed dearly. Joe Zux
