Taking another wander off the beaten path to have a look at a few individuals who have combined the beautiful game into their various outputs. I think I'll call this genre Football and Music. There's an original title. Nobody has thought of that before. Starting this particular mini-series is Weatherall : Can be seen smoking a fag in nearly every image of him. No not that 90's Leeds United defender, but the DJ, Producer and Remixer who's name you will have seen often [...]

See yesterday's post for details. Around 1989 Weatherall started working as a DJ at legendary London club Shoom and was asked to [...]
I'd suggest reading in full the article about Tackhead at discogs to get the story of the band, but in short they were the members of the Sugarhill house band who then met with Keith LeBlanc and started recording as Fats Comet, Tackhead and also as Mark Stewart's backing band, the Maffia.
