Dear Friends!
 The world appears to have gone mad in our absence this summer, so it's about time we sorted that out by releasing a new Wooltones single.
It is called Better Times, which I am sure you all have had. But we can always do with one or two more, can't we?
I must admit, there's something about a girl with a pipe

What's the biggest, best, Big Night Out you ever had? 
A particularly memorable one for me was dropping 5 tabs of acid on the way to see Blackpool Illuminations, but we want to know all about YOURS. 

Were you arrested taking a bunch of daffs to Harold Wilson, perhaps? Or tied to a lamp post and serenaded with a violin? Surely not, we don't expect that kind of behaviour from our readers. 

Ladies and Gentlemen, it is indeed a pleasure to be back in the employ of The Wooltones and add fuel to the bonfire of hype surrounding the band's new album. 

It’s groovy, innit? Get yours. Ask for Mr. Orwell 

And There’s More - pass me another firelighter, man. In July 1957, John Lennon and Paul McCartney (you remember them) met for the first time at St.Peter’s Garden Fete in Woolton, where John’s Quarrymen were playing that afternoon. 

Who better to celebrate this once in a lifetime 60th anniversary with than The Wooltones, joined by none other than Mr Colin Hanton of The Quarrymen, playing a skiffle set in the very same venue, as on that fateful day that started everything. 

This record is available a free bonus disc, with the purchase of Big Night Out - and you get 2 drummers for the price of one. A wonderful souvenir - especially for the band, who took some of the floorboards home.

It's Groovy, Innit

Recorded in 1974 for the What Now? tv documentary series, this rare surviving interview with Reg Omeroyd traces his musical development, his inspirations and gives insight into daily life, both at Ousewater Television and in the Lounge Bar Orchestra. The interview also examines Omeroyd's meeting with Frank Zappa and the details of a potential collaborative project with Graham Greene. Never broadcast, due to legal reasons, this audio is all that remains of the hour long programme. 

Recovered from the attic in the home of Omeroyd's third wife, Pamela Didcott-Frear, this tape recording was badly degraded and needed careful restoration.

Special thanks to the technical team at the Omeroyd Foundation and Archive.

Are WE Here?

LIVERPOOL, MERSEYSIDE JULY 2013
Monkey Mind/ Are We Here/The End of the End
ROB CLARKE AND THE WOOLTONES

'Night and Day for me it turned out to be day and night, not so unusual as these Bank Holidays go. The Wooltones Bus into this Northern city depleted my bourbon flask somewhat.  Yes this is the North West UK folks. Bustling City with Springtime Fair in the Air, the people on the street giving me that  I could almost be outdoors but the heat brings me back through the doors of my perception.
Now way beyond three minute psychedelic pop, eyes open to a Tele visual effect and some glancing silhouettes of the Dancing. We Commence getting giggy with them now. Hazy daze of Summer! Wooltoned whilst on ones day trip / night out, god damm it’s the best! Sound - Expensive - far out!
And then the Mmmaxi spins - Goes Ape and opens a door in my Monkey Mind. Am I here? Are You There? Are We Here? Either way it’s not the End Of The End. Sleeve notes over.  Where’s me tea? – Frank Marvin Tonal-Viz

‘Buttoned and braced in all manner of coolly coalescing smoked paisley pop purrs… one of those rare beasts plucked and fashioned from the finest threads of a lost time in pop’s rich past… in short pure class’ - Mark Barton ‘Thesundayexperience’.

I was well and truly Wooltoned… I feel like I've grown an extra arm and a head lately but the improbability factor of that is falling rapidly causing one arm to drift off into space… watch them evolve your mindset of the future. Sound great shakes' – Frank Marvin Tonal-Viz

‘Sounds as if you are all spaced and stretched out on the floor’ – Spencer Leigh, BBC Radio Merseyside

Produced and Mastered by Fran Ashcroft for Happybeat

Wooltone Maxi Single - Monkey Mind/Are We Here/ End of the End

https://linktr.ee/robclarkeandthewooltones

Are YOU Wooltoned?

LIVERPOOL, MERSEYSIDE.

From the hippest pop spot in England – Woolton may be known hitherto for its retirement homes, swimming baths and irresponsible conservatory home improvements. But now, with a similar wild enthusiasm, the city’s brightest, newest hit parade headliners take their first steps from the Mersey Tunnel to the Pier Head, and across the world and beyond.  Ladies and Gentlemen, I bring you Rob Clarke And The Wooltones. They are sure to give everybody their money’s worth – and perhaps a few headaches into the bargain!

‘Dear listener, I must ask – are YOU Wooltoned?’   -  Diskah

‘This is the one for me’ – Fruits de Mer

‘Rolled up in Rizlas and smoking the finest and rarest essences blended of The Byrds and Wimple Winch all subtly turned and tanned in sunny 60’s west coast kisses' – Mark Barton ‘Thesundayexperience’.

‘Love it! The quality of the recordings- it sounds very 60’s in a good way’ – Phuknose

‘What a buzz – almost blew a hole in my conservatory!’ – Woolton Rifle Club
