Bees Aid CD?

[JBN]

I do not know wether there would be a demand for it or even how we would go about it, but how about producing a CD of Griffin Park footy anthems?

Hey Jude, Scooter, Ketchup song, Griffin Park song and any others that you may think suitable.

Start it of with the Brook Road crowd chanting or singing along, this could be recorded in Stripes with chanting between tracks, Peter Gillham as MC (similar to the Johnathan Pearce ad).

I know there would be royalty issues, but there are so many compilation cds on the market, it could be winner with the Bees fans.

 

[PJ]

Friday Night in Brentford

Its not quite what you suggest JBN but there is a BU benefit CD coming out soon which is along similar lines.

Robb Johnson`s recent gig at Stripes was recordred for CD release and virtually every song is about the Bees / supporting the Bees.

I have heard the preview copy and it sounds great. We are indebted to the Windsor production company RunningFrog (www.runningfrog.com) who waived their usual £35 an hour charges as one of their directors is a Bee

All being well it should be ready for launch on October 3rd and copies will hopefully be on sale that night at Stripes and at GP the next day v Sheff Weds

 

[JBN]

Can I reserve a copy?

 

[PJ]

Can I reserve a copy?

No problem.
Trying to sort something out re early orders;
i`ll report back ASAP

we have already paid a fee of £50 to pay re Royalties. £25 will be winging its way to Paul McCartney as Hey Jude`s chorus is used on one track. (The other one is Uncle Cyril)

PJ,
As the long-awaited CD is available at the end of this week, do we know which players that have signed the initial 100?

Apparantly there will be players at the launch of the CD.

I'm sure PJ can give more info.

some players will be at the launch at GP on Friday afternoon so probably random signatures I guess. Robb will sign 100+ though

Early orders / mail orders for signed copies just email:

Make sure your copy is signed by 'Smiffy'......no not me, the GK! lol
Could be worth a few bob when he's playing in the Premiershite!

PJ,
What approximate time will the launch take place on Friday pm????????

I know a lot of people would like to get their copy signed by a particular player, so if they take the trouble to come to the ground Fri pm, whilst the players are still there, do you think that there is a possibility of getting their copy signed then?
Could the players be asked to spend 1/2hour or so in Stripes (after training)
Fully understand that several may have made other arrangements, but wondered if this might be possible!
I know that there is already a heavy demand for the CD, but a preferred signature would be icing on the cake!!!!!!!

The launch is at 1pm in Stripes tomorrow.
I believe the the whole squad will be there more or less SSB, plus a few media peeps.

Anyone who wants to be there is welcome , though I dont envisage it going on for too long.

The CDs should be widely available from Sat (BFC Club Shop, The Giffin info point, Stripes, the 1/2 BFC shop at 204 High St. Brentford, gig nights etc)

Signed copies are being reserved for advanced orders: just email [email protected]
Plenty of CDs have been made but its only about the first 100 that will be signed by Bees players and Sir Robb.

How did the launch go?
.....and if any players signed them will these be on general sale on Saturday?

 

[JBN]

Picked up my copy today.

Many thanks to PJ.

Robb Johnson is a lyrical genius and if 2 nil down in the second half is any thing to go by, he is also a bit of fortune teller!!

True stories had me in stitches and Saturday Afternoon Red Army, cheered me up after a depressing afternoon.

 

[West Wilts Bee]

Agree with you JBN, this is a must for all bees fans and local people, Hounslow, Heston, and Brentford. Played it when I got back from the match not keen at first, but I find I have to play cd's acouple of times to get into them.
Rob Johnson is definately a talented lyricist, the C.D is well worth the buy. My favourite track is Saturday afternoon red army, worth the money alone.
Well done you to Rob and thank you, also well done to that living legend Pete Johnson, who quietly gets on with what he's good at and never seeks any credit for what he does. Makes a refreshing change from the constant moaners on this board, that cant be arsed to do anything.

 

[smiffy superbee]

Signed CD's?

PJ,
I set ' Smiffy's badges stall' up in the New Road forecourt on Sat. (v SW) and had a few unsigned CD's on Board!
However most people were after the 'signed' copies, so do you have any left that are NOT promised to people that have previously ordered?
........can people STILL order a 'signed copy from you?

 

[PJ]

Re: Signed CD's?

PJ,
........can people STILL order a 'signed copy from you?

Been away for a couple of days SSB and have dozens of emails to catch up on. Some are CD orders so will have to see if any signed ones left...

 

[PJ]

signed copies

There are still a few signed copies left, but not many. Strangely, some people have asked for "unsigned copies"

To reserve a signed copy email [email protected] and they can be collected at Stripes tomorrow Friday night or at the Luton game.

Posted copies are all on the way to those who have already ordered

Any more exiles want one

As stated above this is a great CD with very clever lyrics. It is essential listening for Bees fans of all ages and will also make an ideal Xmas gift

 

[Ace Face]

This is a tryely superb CD and is put together by BEES fans who have a least two things in common - The love of the Bees and the love of good music.

Thanks PJ & guys.

Will tight arse abee get one?

 

[smiffy superbee]

Signed & Unsigned copies!

PJ,
You're right!
I have recently been asked for both 'signed' and 'unsigned' copies!!!!
Hope you still have a few of each left, as I will need some more for 'Smiffy's Stall' on Sat. (v Luton)
cheers
SSB

 

[PJ]

signed copies

Last few signed FRIDAY NIGHT IN BRENTFORD CDs available from The Griffin before the Luton/Brighton games.

Mail order: [email protected]

BTW, anyone else notice in Robert Rankin`s foreword that he is bringing out a new book next year called KNEES UP MOTHER EARTH.
It is about BFC winning the FA Cup

 

[Top Cat]

I've got mine now. The sound quality is excellent...although I'm sure the sound quality on the night was slightly impaired by several pints of Stripes' finest Carlsberg Export.

I got Barnet's No2 'Rooney' to sign the copy as well. You can tell it's not the real Wayne Rooney because it's not written in crayon.....

 

[The H]

Wot time's the stall gonna be there..... Like to be in Stripes for 1pm to watch the rugby.... also gotta pick up my keyring too..

(unsigned ones are available behind the bar in Stripes)

Yes there are plenty of CDs left, but literally only a handful of signed copies.
These will be at Stripes on Friday night or I can take some with me to Notts Co. if requested

 

[smiffy superbee]

CD'at BU AGM?

PJ,
I believe it is the BU AGM in Stripes on Saturday, and as several people have enquired about the availability of CD's on that day, can you confirm that some CD's will be available at the meeting?
and perhaps at the Info. Point also, for those not able to attend the AGM?
cheers
SSB

 

[BFC T.O.M]

Not sure if anyone else saw it but Notts County had one a bit like that in there shop of all there chants etc, Not that they sung that much!!!!!

 

[scudnut]

They just played "Life is Football" on the radio, don't know what station though.

 

[PJ]

After Grimsby game

Robb will be performing many of the tracks from the superb
FRIDAY NIGHT IN BRENTFORD
album after Sat`s game in Stripes

 

[Mikey Bee]

Why not get fans to bid money to sing the songs to go on the CD ?

 

[Hounslowbee]

Does anyone know the tune that has no lyrics that is played at Griffin Park. It is played apporaching kick off and sounds like rain drops. Does anyone know what it is called.
