Title: Tony Barton and Fred Dineage
Post by: Five Villa Tattoos on November 06, 2016, 09:52:23 PM
Just read an interview with Fred Dineage and under the heading: "Do/did you know any players" He replied " The late Tony Barton, who managed Aston Villa's European cup win. Brilliant at DIY. He knocked down a stone fireplace I'd built and rebuilt it."
This put a smile on my face.

That sounds like a line from a Half Man Half Biscuit song.

Probably would be if Tony had managed Tranmere.

If Dylan doesn't want the Nobel Prize for Literature, it should be given instead to the Wirral Wordsworth, the Bard of Birkenhead

Funnily enough whilst walking to my local shop last week I saw a sign saying 'Fred Dineage - Sold Out'. He's playing Areley Kings Village Hall in Stourport on Severn!

Any songwriter who references Ferenc Puskas,Dukla Prague away kit,Subbeteo,driving a train load of cocaine to Trumpton and life in the bus lane in his songs deserves consideration but after Leonard Cohen and a posthumous award to Jacques Brel .

Just a coincidence. What you saw was some hard hitting anarchist graffiti speaking truth to power. How2? Dinage has pissed all over his legacy and he needs to be reminded of that.

The three best active British lyricists.... Nigel Blackwell, Julian Cope and Luke Haines.

No arguments allowed, ''tis the truth.  ;)

Robyn Hitchcock, Ian Dury and continuing the Tranmere theme Elvis Costello.

I'd like to think of one Tony Barton as a bard. Give the man seven and a half minutes (or however long it goes for) and I'm sure he'd have come up with Bohemian Rhapsody without ever having played piano, guitar.

One thing in common Tony Barton and Fred Dineage had, was they both had the same 'comb over bald patch' hairstyle!

I reckon it was a Fred Dinenage tribute act - looking to cash in on the general public's insatiable appetite for all-things-Frederick. I bet the (unofficial) merchandise must've been selling like hot-cakes. Kerching!  :)
