Jack Sharp

Jack Sharp & the Three Stone Cops – Bangor band (1997-98), feat; Jack Sharp (gtr,voc), Andy Culshaw (bass) (ex Valleum), Mikey McMahon (drms) (ex Vaffan Coulo now Valleum). Played 5 gigs - 2 in Barrels, Bangor, one of which had the funniest review ever courtesy of the Chronicle, 2 at The Old Glan another in the Vic with Valleum. Before this outfit, Jack had been selling one-off tapes of his music/poetry/rantings for drinks at the Harp, Bangor. This brief attempt at super stardom sounded 50% Syd Barrett & 50% Half Man Half Biscuit. Andy admitted that playing with Jack was an unbelievable experience, especially the gig with Valleum - Jack was semi-conscious & was having a lot of trouble standing, let alone singing, there would be 20 min instrumentals inbetween verses! Had a song ' Hallelujah - Jesus Has Just Walked Into The Supermarket' (played by Adam Walton on BBC Radio Wales, who subsequently gave him a session – aired 07.08.05). Some thought they sounded like Captain Beefheart. Jack used to give demo tapes away in exchange for beer. Jack started recording new material in 2005 with Duncan Black and also had early tracks like Bearded Wizards played on link2wales radio. Rel an EP 'Diet Coke & Golden Virginia' on R-bennig (Jul05), and had a session aired on Adam Walton’s show 07.08.05
