An early song by The Reaction....double ghettoblaster recording technique from memory

Falling Down

Tonight by The Reaction from about 1989ish

Tonight

"Secret, your secret, your secret, tell me..."

Secret

Another early classic by The Reaction....a wee picture of the singer (and wee brother) Stephen to set the scene (thankfully I'm just out of shot). Drums played on a book & a large kit-kat tin(as you do)& double ghettoblaster recording technique employed by us for this one
Alan

Let Me Go

You may notice an emerging trend....the band are called The Reaction and there's a song about a reaction. The band Strangethatway had a song called strange that way. Need to write some songs about east coast defectors and the joys of international pet sitting..... Stephen (singing), Alan and Neil on drums. Recorded in Neil's parents front room i think

Reaction To Love

Someone was obviously listening to a lot of Queen, Def Leppard etc at the time.....

I Feel The Fire

We played a concert at St Augustine's High in Edinburgh. Neil singing this one, Stephen doing the intro and myself drumming?! Sound quality not great unfortunately as big boomy gym hall but you get the idea

Neil Singing No Place Like Home

The annual party turn at the New Year party at the Clarke household....

There's A Man

Some of the songs that have been living on long neglected C90 tapes at the back of my cupboard. Sang and played by my brother Stephen Clarke and Neil MacNamara....a year or two ago.....
