Live Album Recording and event photography at the Frog and Frigate

The Frog and Frigate in Southampton. “That’s the place where they are up on the tables singing and dancing!“ Someone said that to me a while back and it sure is!

The singalongs are led by musician and the pub’s owner, Derek Gardener and the mission was to record a live album on the venue’s special anniversary weekend.

Goodbye Mr McKenzie were fronted by Martin Metcalfe and were an interesting line up with Shirley Manson, who later found worldwide fame with Garbage, and ex Exploited guitarist John Duncan who later became Nirvana’s guitar tech. The full line up was Martin Metcalfe, Big John Duncan, Derek Kelly, Shirley Manson, Rona Scobie and Fin Wilson. Their debut album Good Deeds and Dirty Rags was released in 1989 and is regarded as a classic.

Roll forward to the present and Martin, Kelly and Fin are still together and producing music as The Filthy Tongues. Brilliant music too. There are two Filthy Tongues albums, Jacob’s Ladder and Back to Hell and I can’t recommend them highly enough. If you haven’t heard of the band then you should find the albums on Spotify and give them a listen.
