The
Fivepenny Piece ......On Stage
The Fivepenny Piece
Release
Date: November 2011
At
last - the reissue on CD of one of The Fivepenny
Piece's most requested releases. This was the
band's first live album. It was recorded at
the band's "home", the Broad Oak
Hotel in Ashton-under-Lyne. The set gives
a good impression of what the band's live shows
must have been like, and as expected, they put
on a good evening's entertainment for the punters.
As
with the studio albums, the set contains a variety
of material, this time with their Lancashire
humour well to the fore, including a couple
of monologues for good measure. The set also
includes a couple of covers - Tim Hardin's
well-known If I Were A Carpenter;
and Alex Glasgow's humorous Keep
Yer 'And On Yer 'Alfpenny (which incidentally
was also recorded by West Country heroes The
Wurzels who still include it in their stage
act today). The album also includes the beautiful
Radcliffe-Meeks song Brown Photographs.
