What's on your iPod #11

The Vibe Sound baby that’s right. Peter Appleyard’s been banging out meaty licks on his Xylophone for the best part of forty years and is still going strong. He first came to prominence in the punk era with his seminal album ‘Never Mind the Glockenspiel’ and has been the go to man for hardcore original riffs ever since. His latest project was a contribution to the Ben Affleck movie Gone Baby Gone to which he contributed the 2 minute thrash ‘Bring Her Back Sucker Jack’. Born with his arms fused together above the wrists and with one leg eight inches shorter than the other Peter was never one to bemoan his disabilities, rather he played through them and used them to his advantage. This courage is best illustrated on his 1987 work ‘Calliper Calypso’. Get it listened to.
