OLD FOLKS BOOGIE

Your Music Curmudgeon has been keeping his ear close to the ground and has discovered that a once famous in Wellington folk circles band The Prowse Brothers has got together to practise, which might indicate some future public performances.


The Prowse Brothers

This is exciting news for generally entertainment strapped New Zealanders post COVID with still restricted travel and performance limitations for some bands ...... hold up! I've just been informed that the picture our research department provided above is actually of brothers David Prowse and Bob Prowse who are actors. Sorry about that. Here's a picture of the musician Prowse Brothers.

The second one helpfully has "The Prowse Brothers" written on it so the bloody research department couldn't cock things up again. Sheesh! 

The boys might need to get another studio shot done though as they've all aged quite a bit since this vanity photograph was taken.
Maybe this Uriah Heep album cover can give them some ideas.



Anyway, I for one am looking forward to some new concerts with maybe some new songs.


Here are some suggestions for song titles:


  • When I Was Sixty-Four
  • I Remember it (I think)
  • The Little Old Lady (from Pasadena) is now my wife
  • Arthritis Blues
  • Can't Find My Way Home
  • The Thrill's Long Gone
  • I'd Rather Not Go Blind
  • Now That You've Gone
  • Three Times A Night (I'm talkin' about peeing)
  • Sore Bones Blues
  • No Sugar Blues
  • Trouble In Mind
  • Pants on Backwards Blues
  • You Can Say That Again (really, say it again I can't hear you)
I hope that this helps.
