At Twickenham yesterday a cover version of Apache was repeatedly played over the tannoy?

Can anyone help me by telling me who this was by?

Thank you

Ventures or Shadows?

No it wasn't either - it was a bit too modern.

speaking of tunes they play before the gig, whats the soul one they play? nice trumpet really 60's, sounds like get ready by the temtations.

Hendrix ?

na im talking about a different song than the one this thread is asking for.

the.gods.they.made, they played Spanky Wilson's version of Sunshine Of Your Love a few times - quite a departure from the original because it is very 60s soul but it maybe the song you are thinking of?

You can hear a sample here - [www.smokecds.com]

thank you so much mate, thats the one right there, bloody love that song.

Hello,

That version is by Michael Viner's Incredible Bongo Band. I read about him in Mojo magazine a few years back and got one of his LPs, Bongo Rock. It's all instrumental and I wouldn't recommend repeated listenings, purely because it can all sound a bit same-y after a while, but some of it is incredibly groovy. So many DJs were sampling it at the end of the 70s that Michael Viner is often considered (as a lot of people are) to be one of the significant figures in the origination of Hip-Hop.

Definitely worth a listen.

Thanks Declan. It puzzled me on both nights.
