The Moons debut release is jam packed with well crafted gems where strong
melodies prevail. Plenty of hooks, heartfelt vocals and close

Great songs and playing. Well thought out arrangements and above
all, a lot of love has gone into this record. - Paul Weller

Prisoners _ but there's nothing pastiche about the Moons. Like
Supergrass, the former On Offs man Andy Crofts embodies the
ebullient joy of discovering what's gone before without being overly
serious and, melding it to masterful 60s styled songwriting, comes
up with something alive with super pop thrills. - Lois Wilson (Record

Legendary PP Arnold Talks!



PP And John Hellier. PP and Rod Stewart (nope, it's not Weller!), Windsor Jazz and Blues festival, 1967.

"The girl is Ginette, the daughter of Ginger Baker of Cream who had played earlier. Rod was the singer with The Jeff Beck Group who opened their killer set with Marvin Gaye's "Can I get A Witness", simply powerful. PP Arnold had come over to England the previous year as an Ikette with Ike & Tina Turner to tour with the Stones - and BP saw Ike&Tina team at their final UK gig at The Ram Jam Club in Brixton. "One of the raunchiest, dirtiest, most on-fire gigs I've ever seen! Ike was mean and menacing, glowering over his guitars, The Ikettes were the three hottest girls you'd seen since The Ronettes supporting Billy J Kramer And The Dakotas at the Adelphi Cinema in Dublin the year before, Tina scorching like a flame-thrower " our man says now. PP had become a solo star in Britain and at the festival her backing group were The Nice. Mr Fallon's hair curled by Joyce Lonergan
