Times are hard, man. We're jammin' over the phone!

About Me

I Have The Brillo Pad!!!
Because We Live In A Dangerous World... Thanks To you, You Fuckers!!!!!
Ease the breeze...I am not a band, I am just me, making moosic and having fun with my mates. Where are they? Do you want to be my mate? Go on!
NB. I'm only on here cos I kept getting ripped off on ebay
Also I am not Lilly Allan the famous singer. I've nothing against her. In fact I find that song quite catchy though I tend to sing the wrong words......But just wanted to stop the confusion before it starts. KNOW WHAT I MEAN!!!!!!
Born in Hackney, East London. Grew up fighting the rough and tough, started reciting poetry at an early age, reflecting the conditions I was living in. But I still live in Hackney where I feel the vibe. So if you see me say hello, I might be in Tanjeers. Feelin the vibe, from the streets with the hoes and the crack running down their spines.
He is not a-ppreciated!
Discover for yourself, the many wonders of an undiscovered British talent. This music is totally from the heart, unrecorded professionally and live from the streets of Hackney.
I have been seen reciting in the toughest Urban estates in England, speaking only the truth that I can know. In the 1990's I jammed with; many people including members from the Specials such as John Shipley and Spike (who played Bass for Lee Scratch Perry) to name a few. Band members during this period were stunned at my ability to sing lyrics off the cuff, some people said I could be the next Mark E Smith or Captain Beefheart. But the industry as it was did not see the potential and wasn't interested in any underground musical movement that didn't adher to the mainstream, or maybe I just wasn't seen. Until now, upon finding this wonderful invention of myspace, only now do I have the possibility of having myself heard and I hope understood (or maybe not). So if you like something different stay tuned, as I plan to broadcast most performances and videos of my work. Love and respect, Alan xxx
Reviews: the londonbrain says:
'Silly Alan comes from an undecorated room in the old Bedlam Hospital. Its a room they forgot when converting the rest of the building into luxury flats. Mixing the trivialised essence of modern urban English with the forgotten language of ancient Mercia, Alan speaks to us in a patter all his own. You either get it or you dont. You are either a Roman or one of the strange blue people they found here. Sometimes Silly Alans neighbours complain, but not often.'
Also if anyone out there wants to tell me the secret of how to change my background like all the cool Dude's and Dudetts on MYSPACE. Cos I don't know and the man ain't tellin me nuffink!!!
Followin that last statement I tried. It messed with the whole page and got stuck. Don't ya hate that when you look at pages that do your head in and crash the old computer?
Afew words...
for everyone at Christmas
remember, don't drink and smoke
just have a lickle laugh and a joke
I'm just a normal bloke, I ain't havin' a poke
(at anyone)
So don't dig me out
