J o e DON : world tour

BBC-TV SET FOR SIX CHILDRENS SHOWS IN NEW YEAR

MAJOR plans for Donovan in 1967 in­clude his film debut and a BBC-TV

series. Donovan - whose " Sunshine Superman" has

reached number two in the Pop 50 - is consider­ing two scripts for the film in which he will have a non-singing role.

He may sing the title theme and will certainly write and play the incidental music, but he will star as an actor. The film will be made by Donovan Enterprise and Don's recording manager , Mickie Most. Shooting is due to start in the early summer.

Negotiations are also far advanced for Donovan to do six children 's shows for BBC -TV. The shows will be 30 minutes each and it is hoped to start them in the spring.

Les Perrin , the Rolling Stones Press Officer, t old the MM on Monday : "I've had a hectic weekend with what seemed like the entire population of America on the phone .

"I had the big news agencies on saying they had been swamped with telephone ~alls from crying girls want-1ng to know if it was true."

PAINT "Friend s? He sees quite a

lot or George Harrison, but there a ren't many people really close to him. He's a very quiet person a nd is con­tent ir he has somewhere quiet to read, paint or listen to sounds. He'd rather s tay at home than go out.

"And he loves children. He rea lly wants to make films for children."

APPEAL What are Donovan's Poli­

tics? "He is very outspoken, but he has absolutely no in­terest in politics. He was in CND at one time but he now reels it is belter ir he doesn't make that sort of protest. Ir he ca n establish h1mselr, as we think he will in 1967, he will be in a better position to help to change things than by just being a protester. We feel we can appeal to children a nd that's more likely to do good than protesting to the whole world ."

ANGRY What makes Donovan an­

gry? "I've never seen him lose his temper. He can be obsti­nate but I've never seen him

Lhe past year I have orten got very a ngry but none or it seemed to bother him. Mind you, Don can be very influen­ced by people - but he is changing , And he realises that when one is successrul people say things they don't really mean-and that there is a lot of jealousy in this busi ness."

GUITAR Ho w does Donovan set

about composing? Does he discipline himse lf lo write every day? " He doesn't disci­pline himselr to write at all . But he plays guitar continu­ously-he even lakes it with him to the toilet. Or he w,11 be walking somewhere and see a situation which a ppeals to h im and will write about it

" I suppose the best yurs we ever had were 1957 and 19S8. That was not only due to the trad boom, but they were the years that 1.Ps really started to catch on. Decca had released LPs as early as 1947 - and E MI about six months after the m -but they didn' t catch on for many years."

whom playing brings uncertain• ties rather than LONDON MAX JONES joy.

In his London hotel, to­wards the end of the Jau. At The Philharmonic tour, I asked about his future plans and his sptt.laJ hopes and Interests in the musical field.

There are none when y_ou write music. You should be able to grow and grow and keep on growing. Just because you are growing doun'l mean you're fully grown.

"Really, I don't wa nl to be here playing. l'd jus l like to be somewhere p ractising r ight now. You mustn't become sat­isfied wleh what you're play­ing. A satlsfied .musician ls In a pitiful state.

" You see, a mus ldan Isn't like wine. You can just put that together and leave It to lime. That Isn' t true or the musician - he's got to work on it, to keep on s tudying.

" You know the Hippocratic Oath, like the doctor takes? Well, the muslclnn should have one too. He should swear: •1 should know more tomor­row than I do today.' You mustn't rest on your laurels; you can't do ll. ·

How much practice does Moody consider necessary?

"ll's not the lime necu-

sarily that counts. Sometimes you need fifteen minutes, sometimes a number of hours. But you could practise for twenty-four hours, and If you weren' t going the righ t way about It you'd stlll not be practising. You need someone to show you how to practise."

Is Moody still wrJtJn& music, and has he plans in this direction?

"People always think I do a lot of writing, so I'll set the record straigh t. In the past I wrote a few songs but they weren't my arrangements. I'd like to take the credit but I can't.

"I'm just beginning now to do some ananglng. That is, I'm trying to. I have a couple of ideas - I said a couple, mind you. I could write for a Jillie group maybe, but really I just want to learn arranging first. "

Which of his three instru­ments does Moody prefer?

"Oh, I wish I knew how to play them all properly. That's about the sJze of ii.

"The important thing Is to find out for yourself. In order to get out or the dumbe.11 bracket, all you have to do is say: 'I don't know.' Then you becomf' an Intelligent per­so n.''

Pantomime is always somet hin g I have wanted to do since I was very young, so the show I a m doing at Bristol is an ambition real­ised. I'm playing Mistress Mary--quite contrary, and it suits me because J am contra ry. In England pan­tomime is such a tradition, it's not just limited to kids entertainment which is what happens in Australia . Here it is accepted that stars will go into panto at Christmas, and in Aus­tralia there are not that many stars.

I DO GET REALLY

WAYNE: wife gets more fan letters

"J'M pas_t the,,scr~aming bit now. These days I like people _ to_ hsten,_ said Wayne Fontana, currently making an 1mp_ress1on with "Pamela Pamela", a song which he o rgmally wanted to be the B side of the record .

The mixed chart fortunes of Manchester•based Wayne over the past year or so a re c urrently in a period of ~e:nb~~~ e~:/'d~:ie~~- had got his way, the s tory might

" As my last two singles hadn't done anything, I decided • that l wanted one of my own songs to be the A side. I recorded a song e:alled 'Something Keeps Calling Me Back', but Fontana decided to release 'Pamela Pamela' while J was working abroad. I was mad about it and kicked up a row, but now I've got to eat my words. #

'"To be hones t, I didn't think it had much or a chance. I thought it was like a nursery rhyme and I said this to Graham Gouldman, who wrote it. But I'm obviously glad I was wrong."

But Wayne has made the Pop 50 - with a "'cleaned-up" version of the Gra-ham Gouldman song.

Newly-married Mr Fontana, just wailing to move into a new bunga low in an acre of ground at Hyde, Che!ihire, hasn't found that his marital status has caused a loss of popularity with his girl fans.

RAGTIME PIANO:

Oh, I love tha t kind of music. I like playing classical music - if only I had more t ime to prac­tise and learn a whole con­certo at a time. 1 love rag-

WORRIED ABOUT HOW I LOOK IN A PICTURE. I AM A SINGER AND APPEARANCE IS SECONDARY getting a balance.

EARLS COURT:

I lived in Earls Court when I first came here. I didn't really get to know the club scene, but I'm the sort of person that gets accustomed to a place and tends to stay there, and feel secure. J had a bed­sitter and I was used to it,

and I still feel I could go back there, because I know it so well . I live in Richmond at the moment, but I wilt be moving again soon with all the travel­ling. Although they say there are so many Aus• tralians in Earls Court -why do they call it "Kangaroo Valley .. ? - J met just as many English

people there, and S!luth Africans and Canadians. It's a beds itter land, where everybody goes who can't afford a more expensive flat. It's not as kinky as Chelsea - but it's cosmo­poLit.an.

PHOTOGRAPHERS:

I was so cross at a photographer at Top or

The Pops recently .. It wasn' t so much him taking pictu res, as the wa_y he did it. I always think it's hard to work out who does who the favour. I do get really worried about how I look in a picture. I am primer• ily a singer and appearance with me is secondary, and to be photographed and compared to people with whom appearance comes first worries me. I'll al­ways have this problem.

I'm not really good enough to play in public! "Maple Leal Rag" by Scott JopHn is about the only one I can go right through. He wrote

· ~?~ 1l~e.~ea::de:J.~ouj r;:==========:::::~=~=""?-_j;~~~,:========================7 studied classical piano for about eleven years, until I gave it up to concentrate

. on singing. Just as well, 1 suppose!

sT1g~= Well, I've never really

been aware of them as a rule. Quite often a few

, people will wait for auto­graphs and some boys send me flowers regularly and it's quite flattering. But J think they have too much marvellous sinceri ty to be called St.age Door J ohnnies which is a phrase 1 associate with the 1930s. Calling them that sounds cheap. They are lovely,

Behind every hit-making sound there are men upon whose crafts-

manship and artistry a performer knows he can rely. It tokes a great deal of skill to creole the trend-setting instruments

Brian Jones. It is the men who make VOX that help to make the hits.

MM INVESTIGATION

1 S there a colour bar in British pop?

The question has come to the fore since allegations that London's Tiles Club was refusing admis­sion to egroes .

The allegation was denied in last week's MM by the club's co-manage r, Maur­ice Sellers But the club's manager, R1 ch1 e Howell agreed they operated "a controlled admission system·• , He went on· "We onl y let in three co l­oured boys at a time because we know from past experience that trouble will start . By trouble I mean knife fights , handbag snatching and drug pushing. But we keep out white trouble makers too." Not to the ex­tent or only allowing three whites in at a time, apparently.

SELECTIVE Asked to amplify the position this week,

Mr Howell said: "We have nothing more to add to the statement we made to the Melody Maker last week. The position is the same as it was. There is no colour bar at this club. Come down any night and you'll see

Asi0~~uri1d ~=opil~t~~d~~e c~~~~~ing the

"selective entrance" system, he said:

tainly facl's trouble The .Race Rela­tions Board can make things pretty hot for them. And the Musicians' Union has always been pn:tty quick

~t~~l18i~d b~'n~i~:O~.ut of colour bar Colour prejudice can take less obvious

fo rms-sometimes almost buried in the subconscious. After the rather unsuccessful Tamla Motown package tour in 1965 J heard it suggested that white Brit ish fans might find it diffi­cult to identify with Negro artists appearing in person, although this obviously does not apply to records

I put th is point to Geno and Jimmy. Said Geno: "I think we have proved it isn' t t rue. The fans have been very good to us.

"A;i~h::Je; l~~g i~~~ a~~ce~~d t r~~~~= with some of the tours is simply that the Americans are not here long enough fo r the kids to get attached to them. l f Otis Redding, for example, lived in England he would soon have an enormous following.''

TOO EARLY Jimmy thought the suggest ion was non•

sense. "I th ink the reason the Tamla tour was not a great success was simply that it was a fraction too early."

Only someone who was both blind and deaf could deny that there is colour prejudice in Britain today. But at least, if Geno and Jimmy a re right, it is extremely rare in the entertain ­ment business.

Indeed it would be farcical if it were otherwise when you consider how much Negro artists have contributed to popular music .
