When Lusters and I saw Jim Jones at the Scala
my NAMEDROP AHOY pal Andrew Weatherall played a fucking mindblowing set of his rockabilly 45s. Incredible.

We were at the bar and I said 'whoever's DJing is a complete genius' and then we went in and lo, for it was Wevvers, dressed as a WWII pilot.

He's of major importance to British music history. And a lovely chap.

I know not of his work

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Fri 13 May 2011, 14:03, Reply)

He produced Primal Scream's 'Screamadelica' LP
amongst many other records. He was an early acid house/techno pioneer and was part of the seminal Boy's Own club nights - later running his own (superb) Sabresonic nights which introduced London to the Chemical Brothers, or Dust Brothers as they were then. He was the go-to remixer for lots of people for a long time, and is a self effacing expert on several genres inc rockabilly, reggae and techno.

I don't know any.
Funnily enough, I found myself shimmying and dancing rockabillyish to some song that I didn't know but sounded rockabilly at the skanky redneck bar a few months ago.

TEACH ME THE WAYS, BLOUSIE!

To be honest I'm more of a fan of the modern punk rockabilly.
But the old stuff is a good place to start.

I don't know any of it.
Could you suggest a band or two?

The Cramps were my favorite.
Plus The stray cats and recently I was introduced to El Diablo.

The Cramps were brilliant.
Their choices of cover versions were inspired.
