About this deal

I wanted to put together a festival that would include bands that have been in the industry almost as long as I have, and although now ignored by the big record companies, they are still loyal to their music, fans and their roots. One of the main reasons for their notoriety was their outlandish huge-tongued and shaven-headed frontman, Buster Bloodvessel. His manic exploits got them banned from the British BBC TV chart show Top of the Pops, for painting his head red. [5] The band was also banned from Italian TV after Bloodvessel mooned a concert audience on live television at the 1983 Sanremo Music Festival, [6] after being told that the Pope was watching on TV. [5] [6] Buster: Yes – there will be. There’s going to be a hog roast, sumo wrestling and all sorts of strange little wonderful things going on. There’ll be some comedians in places to keep people entertained as well and to give that party atmosphere. But I really am relying on the bands that I’ve chosen who are possibly some of the best bands that play live and have done for at least the last 30 years.

a b "We are all hugely saddened by the news that original Bad Manners Harmonica player Winston Bazoomies AKA Alan Sayag passed away yesterday". Bad Manners on Facebook. 2 December 2022 . Retrieved 3 December 2022. Buster’s “Special Brew” set to entertain thousands! Bad Manners’ ebullient front man Buster Bloodvessel is celebrating an incredible 30 years in the business by organising Badfest, a three day music festival to be held at Twinwood in Bedfordshire this July. Katy Lewis met him.Then it’s going to go on each year and I can guarantee it will probably triple and quadruple by the time we’re a blink away. It’s going to be a great event – everyone should be there! With Bad Manners, Buster won a place in the nation’s hearts as the bald headed, tongue wagging, Can Can dancing bootboy who spread the band’s philosophy of partying, having a good time and not taking yourself too seriously around the world. In December 2012, founding members of the band met for the first time in decades at the Ship public house in Soho, London. Paul Hyman, Martin Stewart, Brian Tuitt and Chris Kane met with band historian and harmonica player David Turner, and Christopher 'Dell' Wardell, a music writer and promoter from Darlington. On 18 July 2013, seven of the original nine members reunited at The Brownswood public house, near Finsbury Park, that is within striking distance of their old school, Woodbery Down Comprehensive. The 'Bad Manners Originals' who attended the reunion were Andy Marson (alto sax), Paul Hyman (trumpet), Winston Bazoomies (Alan Sayag) (harmonicas), Chris Kane (tenor sax), David Farren (bass), Martin Stewart (keyboards) and Brian Tuitt (drums). The meetings were arranged after Wardell's 'Where Are They Now?' article was published in The Northern Echo in 2012, providing details on the current whereabouts of all of the original band members. [ citation needed] Buster: It’s a silly idea I had quite sometime ago. I just wanted to get alternative live bands to play together. I’ve been doing festivals for a long time now and I just think that we needed our own festival so Badfest came about. It’s increased my will to live and it’s made my health and fitness so much better. It’s a shame because I was a very happy fatty but now I understand both sides of the fence and I wish I’d done this a long time ago because health is the most important thing.

It’s going to be a solid three days of bands playing because there’s also a lot of small bands that will be going on. We’ll also have the bar running up at the museum end. The whole thing is going to be growing and in the next five years we hope to make it into a place where people will come along and really enjoy themselves – not just for this event but for other events. The group then went on to sign a contract with Portrait Records in the United States and Mental Notes was released in 1985. For two years the band toured continuously all over the world but decided to disband in 1987. Buster, who has recently slimmed down from 31 stone to 13 stone has put together a lineup that includes many bands that he has had the pleasure of playing with throughout his long career. Buster: We were originally booked to play the club that they’ve got here. It was a nice Christmas do and it wasn’t over sold but we saw the potential here to have a brilliant festival. Nobody else has probably ever seen this potential and we want to be the first to really set it alight really because I’m sure in years to come this will be a well-known place – certainly a landmark. Buster: We were going to have it in Butlins by the sea and there were many other places planned but once we came here, to Twinwood, we sort of fell in love with the place. It’s got lots of connections, with Glenn Miller taking off from here on his last flight, so it’s quite a special place to hold a music festival. The grounds being RAF based actually looked the part for a Badfest – it all goes with the artwork! We’ve got the artwork everywhere and we all want to be a bit more camoflagued up on that weekend. There’ll be lots of tents, lots of camping and lots of shorts!Buster: I went down from 31 stone to 18 stone initially and then down to 12 and half stone which was the lowest I got. Now I’ve gone up to 13 stone and the doctors have all said I’ve just been the perfect patient and I’ve never been the perfect at anything! Buster: My side of this is definitely promotions and making it a great event. I’ve networked all around places like the Midlands and the North and the West and London of course. That is a place where we are really going to aim at bringing people out for the weekend which is always a good thing to do – people need to get out of London. Buster: Oh totally – I perform like I was 18 again. I’ve just got this mad idea that my body seems to be getting better and younger and fitter and as long as I’ve got that in my head and my body’s responding I’m not complaining!

Buster: It was yes and people worry that I’m not the same man that I was but I can assure them I’m probably a better man than I’ve ever been! Buster: Well – just Bad Manners being there will make it a little bit different I can assure you! But it’s the quality of the bands that have been chosen and the fact that I know that when people come and see anything to do with ska it creates a good party atmosphere. It makes people drink and celebrate a bit more than maybe they should but I’m encouraging people to come here and enjoy themselves so that is really what this weekend will become.

Recommendations

Of course I’m the last on so I’m going to be performing bigger than I can possibly be. And of course now I’ve lost so much weight I’m like a ballerina on the stage! a b c "The Journal - All manner of mayhem". Journal-online.co.uk. 19 September 2008. Archived from the original on 19 December 2013.

His huge personality and big voice were matched only by his gargantuan proportions but even now, after losing an incredible 18 stone, Buster is still as larger than life as he ever was! And as he has the same boundless enthusiasm, unbounded energy and vigour for this project that is a trademark of his stage performances – I’ve got ‘Just a Feeling’ Badfest is going to be great! Bad Manners are an English two-tone and ska band led by frontman Buster Bloodvessel. Early appearances included Top of the Pops and the live film documentary Dance Craze (1981). They have been fronted from day one by Buster Bloodvessel, one of the biggest voices in show business with the personality to match! Buster: Yes - it’s my 30th year in the business – it sounds like I should have given up a long time ago but I really enjoy doing what I do and I’ve never been able to stop it! The fans have always been that loyal and loved what Bad Manners have done and of course I’ve got to this stage of the game now where what else can I do but be Buster?! It’s what I’m good at!a b Walters, Sarah (4 September 2008). "Tongue and groove with Buster..." manchestereveningnews.co.uk. Despite a lifetime ban from Italy, he continues to entertain live audiences with versions of their extensive catalogue of chart hits such as- Lip up Fatty, Special Brew, The Can Can, Lorraine, My Girl Lollipop, Just a Feeling and Walking in the Sunshine. Lip up Fatty, Special Brew, The Can Can, Lorraine, My Girl Lollipop, Just a Feeling and Walking in the Sunshine. They [other bands] all have their bouts of doing maybe more gigs than us for two or three years but not 30 years. Not even the Rolling Stones have done that much. And they fly everywhere and it’s all luxurious!
