Here are Marianne and Patmo from new outfit Country Dirt - live music guests at Talking Musical Revolutions Volume 3 Which was held at Filthy McNasty’s Pub in London on Tuesday October 13th.
A lively evening of talking, great music and a little drinking, hosted by FRock’s Gavin Martin and Family friend John Robb, TMR3 featured great readings from the legendary Chris Salewicz (Bob Marley), the unparalelled Paolo Hewitt (Steve Marriott) and the incomparable Zoe Street Howe (The Slits) and the best DJing in town from Ian ‘Top Ranking’ McCann.
As they’ve been playing music together and apart from over 40 years Patmo (Belfast, Big Self , John Wayne Army )and Marianne (Bill Callahan, Dragstripper, The Camarillos) have both chequered and eventful Rock Family Trees.
We’d like to invite them to fill in the DETAILS that would feature in their Rock Family Tree.
No need for Pete style calliagraphy – just the text, salient facts and any notable (short) stories.
Perhaps YOU would like to do the same. Everyone has a Rock Tree Story to tell…


Pete Frame started drawing his Rock Family Trees in Zigzag, Britain’s first rock magazine, which he founded in 1969.
