The Middlesbrough Music Collective was supported and developed into a Community Cooperative with the support of Paul Hyde and Pete Roberts of Community Arts Middlesbrough and culminated in the creation of Studio 64 - a community recording studio in Middlesbrough. Some of the writers groups, like Teesside Writers Workshop emanated from the same community arts base. There were often,therefore, collaborations between the writing and the music community. Stockton songwriter / performer Billy Oblivion (Gareth Lorraine) often took part in the Castalians / New Poetry Scene gigs at the Dovecot Arts Centre in the early to mid 80's and also those of Teesside Writers Workshop - accompanying us up to Horden in Country Durham and Newcastle for gigs.

In another link up at St Mary's Centre in Middlesbrough, the music collective held gigs with local bands and local poets / writers such as the gig with Attila the Stockbroker and local poets from the Teesside Writers Workshop - including Mel McEvoy, Johnny Nicol, Stiletto Pigeonetto and Trev Teasdel and Duncan Rowe.


Another link up was via the Studio 64 recording studio - in the early 90's a Creative Writing course tutored by Trev Teasdel and organised by Leeds University for Redcar Mind, recorded a spoken word album 'Of Sound Mind' with music and sound effects.

In 1984 the Middlesbrough Music Collective recorded their first Compilation album on cassette which included three local performance poets - Joe Flamingo (John Quinn) - a Lakeside poet who was studying at Teesside Poly and performed for both the Multi Media Society and the New Poetry Scene at the Dovecot in Stockton. Stiletto Pigeoneto - a popular Guisborough performer who who often performed with a band at the music collective as well as at many CND gigs and the New Poetry Scene. Nicky Edwards - who was more associated with the music collective.

In the noughties, the Middlesbrough and Stockton music collectives and Studio 64 moved to the Green Dragon Yard in Stockton and were re-branded Tees Music Alliance. The Tees Music Alliance hosted The Writers Cafe at the Georgian Theatre, which had been previously held at the Arc in Stockton. At the Arc the Writers Cafe was run by Paul Williams, Trev Teasdel and Carmen Thompson 2004 - 2006 and by Trev Teasdel, Ann Wainwright and Ruby Diamond at the Georgian 2006 - 2008.

In the late 80's Trev Teasdel (for WEA Middlesbrough Branch) got together with Dave John's of the band Icy Eye to develop a course in songwriting to be held at Studio 64. For various practical reasons the course never came to fruition.

Cheers newy, think he has all that info 👍
 
Hi Erimus. Just had a search for them this morning and nothing came up apart from what you already have. Only other thing I noticed was the guy who posted the tracks on youtube says in the comments that he was in contact with them but that was posted 9 years ago. Thats on the video for Room On Fire.

Sorry I can't help more but that seems to be everything they did. Although the guy mentions some instrumental tracks in the comments.

i shouldn't think so, they're both probably card-carrying members of the conservative party, got their own company's and drawing a wage of over £150,000 per annum, with a second home in France or Italy.

it's how teenage Rock n Roll works.

unless some-one comes along and knows different!
Their stuff is quite hard to find and the lifespan of the band seems to be quite short lived.. they sound great but my bet is they’ve moved on to a variety of new careers (complete guess this by the way) I’ve seen them linked with a few bands in the Wakefield area.. my guess would be teachers. Really cool teachers.

150 biffs and a crate of red stripe?
