RIP Lesley Howard Kirkland, my half brother. always remembered

So good

he started out as a decent human being... but by the time he was leader of government he was the same arsehole he is now...

Wow. What a discovery

Listening to this on the banks of Loch Ness among the trees 👏

I saw him playing solo at the Penthouse Club in Scarborough on a Sunday afternoon in 1972 (or thereabouts); somewhat disappointed that he didn't play Postcards of ...

My father, Stanley Read was 17 at the time and survived this sinking.

Rick Kemp and Richie Dharma I believe. I saw Mike Chapman numerous times in Hull in the early70’s including a great All Night Concert at Burton Constable Hall and at the Brickhouse. His music lives on…still have to stop and listen to Postcards and You Say. Thx

I'm here because of Steve Gunn, and I'm glad I arrived.

Printer sounds like a donkey

Imagine that Submarine skippers face when he found out the results of his attack were FILMED!! I would imagine (later in life) it would be quite horrifying to think about..

Love this live version, it is so natural.

Fly High, Master

My 12yo had homework that was "why did the Sinclair c5 fail?" I showed her this. Brilliant.

Beautiful

I challenge Keir Starmer to come on Ross' show prior to the next election with the current Conservative government failing.

That car analogy is very correct today. Take a look at Peugeot/Renault or the VW group etc.

T0 ..Jonathan h0w are you in England

Is this where Sir Clive acquired his famous aversion to using email ?

RIP Micheal. I was in your last concert at tel aviv a few years ago. Today I've found your tree 🌳 in wadi Rosh Pina.

戦争とは、命とお金と資源の浪費である。 それに気づきながら、口では平和を叫びながら、今も尚、戦争を続ける人類は、何と愚かで罪深い存在だろうか。

T0 Jonathan h0w are you and shelly and Oscar from Mel joy from CelBrdge

Same old , say the right things until there elected

Yeah the Amstrad version was a bit more ergonomic thanks to having an actual keyboard that wasnt nasty little rubber pads lol. That version had legs, my grandfather (who had been using computers since they had valves) was a raving fan of it, and basically ran his local churches affairs off an Amstrad 6128 , Tasword, and a database he had written himself (He had a bit of spare time after retirement, and the old boy loved to code). But Tasword on the sinclair does NOT look fun to do productive shit on at all.

Track and a half. Great stuff!

Rip Micheal, one of the greatest folk artist, starways to heaven was also inspiered by your song kodak ghost as well, and bowie was inspiered by you

"youre the best" from karate kid is a blatant ripp off of this

Best whistle ever!

RIP shame that pete and dud footage is lost

I have a similar ZX80 with a "sawed" keyboard. I suspected that this was a driver for something (?) I once showed his picture. haha Many people advised me to raise money for "the whole" computer. ;P

I cannot agree with Jonathan here because legalizing drugs will make them much much more available, then just like smoking and alcohol, more kids will want to try them. We have got to a point in time where anything readily available, we believe it must be okay to try. As Jonathan stated " A certain element of the population" ; not all! You can get anything that the shop sell at anytime of the day, whereas your drug dealers will probably be in bed until they answer your call. If you legalize them, then you will find, more addiction, more problems and everyone dying young.

Michael was so great. The sound of the drums, particularly the snare and toms are just so warm on this.

R.I.P. Michael you were my guitar hero..

The man who never gave up. There'll be disappointed fans sadly getting their money back for gigs booked ahead of his demise. Nice bloke too. He lived not far from where I am and when he was about 68 I got him on the radio (my line of work) to talk about the risks of losing luggage like guitars at airports and so on and how you can reclaim them off the conveyor belts and find them smashed. He said he'd not been very well but was about to fly off on a small midwinter tour of the Eastern USA which had been having massive snow storms: 'Well, you've got to, haven't you?". Note about his guitar there....a Fylde "Olivia". Roger Bucknall, who made it, said he had no idea how to do solid black lacquer like Chapman wanted, but he managed it with rattle cans and a razor blade to clean up the binding....and as for the vine pattern on the fingerboard he said he'd only ever done dots and after some experimenting managed to carve the rebates for the inlay with a sharpened screwdriver. Roger's come a long way since then. And Michael's gorn to a better place.

Electronic mail? That will never work. Use a fax instead

I build something similar back in the 1980s but used a Tandy Model 100 portable computer.

Gotta love how the screen flashed every time you pressed a key. Too bad they couldn't fix that in the original machine.

🤣

In 1984 the MSX was 3-4 slower than the spectrum and 20 times slower than the Sinclair QL ? really ? wasn't the MSX a series of 8-bit computers each of varying power ? was he comparing the lower end MSX with the Spectrum and QL ? I remember the MSX circa 1985 and I was quite envious of games such as Nemesis that is had although I dunno if it had any special hardware in the cartridge to make it more arcade like. RIP Sir Clive.

Sort of looks like another joke. The wheel with the power is too small and enclosed for obstacles.

RIP Michael

First saw him in 1977.my first ever gig and last saw him at End of the Road a coupla years ago..A tremendous guitarist..what a loss but thanks so much for all the heart and beauty. RIP

RIP ..you were one of the best

I bought the 'Window' album in London circa 1970, and this was my favourite track: just loved the rural sentiment and Michael's drowsily stoned vocal. A few years back I saw him playing live in a pub in Presteigne, Wales, and he was mesmerising: he set out his stall right from the start of the evening, saying 'If it's too loud, you're too fookin' old!' I bought the '50' CD,which he signed: he was happy to chat ... he told me he was off to the States, and had an invitation to dinner with his one-time producer, the legendarily eccentric Don Nix: 'I'll be takin' my life in my hands,' said Michael. It's hard to think of an artist who lived life more to the full than this man, who was always pushing his art forward, and never compromised. Bless you, Michael - RIP.

RIP Buddy

First saw Michael circa 1970. He patronized our local folk club in Hull and then I saw him at Cranfield tech Inst. I've spent many hours listening to his record and his death will not change that. Thanks Micheal ... RIP.

RIP Michael Chapman what a wonderful artist.

​ ​ Among the trees I have lain and passed my golden days ​ Among the trees I have spent my summers in a haze ..... R.I.P. & thanks for the great tunes ​

Rest in peace bird man

So very sad to hear about Mike Chapman 'moving on'. One of my heroes. RIP
