Reggie29 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Hi any of you ever heard of Kevin Borich? Yeah Al he 's a Kiwi (New Zealander for those who don't know), great guitarist. I've seen The La De Das, Band Of Light and The Kevin Borich Express many times in the past. The Express were on the Rock Arena bill with Santana (whom he jammed with), LRB and Fleetwood Mac in '79. Recently he was part of a Jimi Hendrix tribute night with a couple of other guitarists, Mal Eastick was one I can't remember the other. Anyway I missed it, damn!

Gainsbarre Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Yeah Al he 's a Kiwi (New Zealander for those who don't know), great guitarist. Look, I know this is off topic, but i have to have a gripe about something... The other day I was at the Andy Warhol exhibition at the Brisbane Gallery of Modern Art, and I was looking inside a glass cabinet full of stuff like letters and photos that Andy kept in boxes, and as I'm there looking at the display, these two Kiwi girls stood right next to me, and their accent just pissed me off too much, I couldn't stand it, I had to move. It was all "oh, Cethy! Look et thus litter from some kud in Brutton, nixt to thet bug stuck thung from Studio Fufty Four..." and then the other one would say "I don't thunk thet's a bug stuck thung, I thunk uts an Errow, you know, like a bow and errow?" followed by "oh, yiah, thet's fentestuc!" "Ut says uts for Velintine's Day..." "oh how romentuc..." This is what i find amusing about the New Zealand accent: If we say 'Bag', when they say it, it sounds like "Beg", right? But if we say 'Beg', when they say it, it sounds like "Big" But if we say 'Big', they say 'Bug'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

widget Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Interesting. Any chance these guys will play in more venues other than bowling clubs? Have seen The Tinku Band a few times. I quite enjoy their interpretation of Led Zeppelin songs.

They are notorious for not updating the site on a regular basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
widget Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 The Tinku Band is a Sydney based outfit that play traditional Punjabi folk music mixed with modern electric instruments. Besides doing their own original shows thay have a separate night called Zeppelin at the Taj, which sounds very similar to the Page & Plant concerts (if you remember back to 1996) of fusing exotic Indian sounds with Led Zeppelin songs. Their myspace website is: http://www.myspace.com/zeppelinatthetaj Disclaimer: I'm in no way connected with the band but I do enjoy their shows. Their take of "Stairway to Heaven" and "Black Dog" is excellent. Meg hi meg! im still waiting for a return email about venues. who is the tinku band?

widget Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Anyone know of a specialist in Sydney who can authenticate a set of Led Zeppelin signatures on an album cover? I have my doubts on their authenticity but would need someone to verify it. I don't have a picture of the album cover so I can't show it here and it's not listed at the stores website. Since the asking price is over $2000, I'm cautious about parting with my money over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the asking price is over $2000, I'm cautious about parting with my money over it. You are wise to be cautious here. I have seen some 'autographed' items, on the internet and in Sydney stores, which look like absolute fakes. A good bet would be to have a look around the net for some genuine reproductions of signatures. I'm not sure who you could get in Sydney to authenticate it but I suppose there are specialist arts valuers/authenticators? Authentic Jimmy Page autograph: Probably authentic group autograph: Those should at least help you rule out the obvious fakes. Jimmy's signature is very distinctive and I have seen some awful attempts at forgery. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen Jimmy's signature a couple of different ways - some are so bad it's obvious the forger hasn't even bothered to look for a genuine one to copy.

alwizard03 Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Jimmy used to sign his name differently way back but He has changed changed it from what I have seen I can only assume because it took to long to sign it so he shortened it some.
