The Is aren't a Coventry band but have strong Coventry connections with

The Is - Blue Clue cover

keyboard player Al Docker and strong connections with the Broadgate Gnome digger community.

The networking around this site is pretty amazing with more and more Coventry musicians turning up, orffering comments and information, being put in touch with each other again. All important as new projects are slowly emerging, including the possiblility of a Coventry Music Museum. Pete Chambers is already organising a Cov Music exhibition at the Herbert.

The Is - Blue Clue interview

Here is an example of the material coming forth now - The Is - a Cornish band from Truro have got their own Vox site and as well as a My Space.

They have just sent through an interview, which includes contributions from Al Docker. Quite an interesting interview actually.

Also Al's younger brother John Docker has just opened a Vox blog here - Covmusicsite and uploaded one the songs from his 90's Cov punk band - John plays bass - check his site out - find his icon in the  neighbourhood.

We may add some more audio and lyrics here and a few tales when it we receive it.

The Is also sent a message via My Space -

Hi Trevor,

Funnily enough I have just been contacted by Jan as well.

I will be sending her a shed load of Photos which I am sure she
will pass onto you. I thought it was better to send them to her
first..seemed the right thing.

Site is looking good. Good luck with all that.

Do you want any songs for your own library or to put on the cambridge site?

I'm quite happy to dispatch some to you.

Let me know.

Regard

Mike
