Johnson Robb

Tony Skinner's Lad / Blue Light on a Red Johnson Robb

Last year Robb Johnson's cheery tribute to veteran MP Dennis Skinner, "Tony Skinner's Lad", topped the download chart for a week, staying above Kylie Minogue & the new Bruce Springsteen single too. The song has Dennis Skinner's approval, & its success gathered quite a bit of local & national media interest. B side "Red Light on a Red Brick Wall" is a moody northern noir, that ought to be the soundtrack for a film starring Maxine Peake that no-one's yet thought of making. Now both tracks are available as a very lovely picture sleeve red vinyl 7". Robb is backed by John Forrester on double bass, Arvin Johnson on drums, & the sublime Fae Simon on vocals.
