JOHN MARTYN SPECIAL W/ BULLION & ALL DAY

An hour long show featuring some of my favourite 1980s music. Some will be instantly recognisable due to being hart hits, others may be less well  known or even obscure.

Great About The Eighties - songs from the 1980s Part 1

John Martyn & Nick Drake inspired guitar sketch

This is a song I wrote specifically for an open mic night near where I live, showcasing local talent. The melody is heavily inspired by Julie Byrne's beautiful, ethereal track 'Sleepwalker' and my love for folk songs in open tunings e.g. John Martyn. The lyrics are about trying to find genuine love in the age of dating apps. That and my own romantic shortcomings. Enjoy!

Where Roses Once Grown

Her Song

Our take on John Martyn's beautiful song.

LYRICS

And I don’t want to know about evil
Only want to know about love
I don’t want to know about evil
Only want to know about love.

Sometimes it gets so hard to listen
Hard for me to use my eyes
And all around the cold is glistening
Making sure it keeps me down to size.

And I don’t want to know about evil
Only want to know about love
I don’t want to know one thing about evil
Only want to know about love.

I’m waiting for the planes to tumble
Waiting for the towns to fall
I’m waiting for the cities to crumble
Waiting till I see you crawl.

Yes it’s getting hard to listen
Hard for us to use our eyes
Cause all around that gold is glistening
Making sure it keeps us hypnotized.

And I don’t want to know about evil
I only want to know about love
I don’t want to know about evil
Only want to know about love.

I don’t want to know anything about evil
Only want to know about love
I don’t want to know about evil
Only want to know about love.

Don't Want To Know

Some thing rather different from myself here, a laid back west coast American/Ibiza hippy folky vibe of tunes made between 1969 & 1981, most defiantly a genre I do love but never seem to get around to putting to 'tape'.
An all vinyl set, with surface noise scratches in places, sorry but this is old vinyl.
Hope you enjoy this, 
peace! Seanie R x - May 2025

An avid record collector & clubber who fell into DJing by chance in 1984 at the age of 17 in a local club in South London playing an eclectic mix of Boogie, Motown, Electro & Jazz Funk. Soon after I became the tour DJ for (the songwriter & producer Mark Topham and his Jazz Funk band at that time) 'The Juice' back in the mid 80's. 
Acid House changed everything by the Spring of '88, Sean being a regular/member at Nicky Holloway's 'The Trip' London...by '89 he was resident DJ at a bar/club called 'The Trading Post' in South London, which lasted a number of years. Playing everything from Balearic & Italian 'piano' to eventually Progressive House, to a great crowd.
Throughout the 90s, Sean was playing regular slots at 'Dolly Rockers' & 'Just Cant Get Enough' plus lots of one-off parties. Warming up for the likes of Dave Dorrell, Judge Jules, Brandon Block, Chris & James & Leftfield's Paul Daley amongst many.
Playing at the 'Gardening Club', 'Legends', 'Maximus' & many other top venues at the time.

Sean still plays out today at selected vinyl only parties, so get in touch regarding bookings.

DJs that have & still inspire...Mark Moore, DJ Harvey, Steve Lee (of the Project Club / SLO / Above Machine), Jolyon, Nicky Siano, Psychemagik, Artwork, Scott Proper, Howler, Kelvin Andrews & Luke Una amongst many.

Favourite all-time regular club nights & clubs... The Trip/Sin (Astoria), Flying (Soho Theatre Club), Fresh (Legends), Club For Life (Gardening Club), Slammer (Northfleet), Amnesia (Ibiza), Peter Pan's (Rimini), "Doo at the/ (Nicky Holloway's Parties) & Soho Theatre Club (London).  amongst so many.
