(i am, of course, expecting some TFB member to track this clip down on the net.)
I liked it and remember it well. But the School was never Rock enough for me.
I've just googled Deirdre Cartwright to see what she's up to - turns out her band played my local jazz venue in Streatham about six weeks ago.
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
Also my first introduction to the great Wilko Johnson.
Wasn't that Julie Covington?
But Cartwright might have had a non-acting role as a backing band member or something, I don't remember it that well.
I associate Rula Lenska with two things:
1. Dennis Waterman.
2. A long-ago TV review of some awards programme where the reviewer described her as having "yards of flab" hanging over the back of her strapless dress.
I was convinced she was in Life and Loves of a She Devil with hubby Dennis but that turns out to have been Patricia Hodge.
Anyway, Rockschool was shown on PBS and you could buy the videos and there was a book I believe. So, I guess it was quite successful.
Remember they clearly didn’t love all the styles (she clearly wasn’t a metal player ) but they did give it a good crack and they could certainly play.
It was great how they explained the gear and also the quality of the musicians. Gary Moore showing his Les Paul, Strat and pedals (at clearly insane volumes), Ian Paice and Bootsy Collins talking about solos.
Just wow!
