Jowe Head (the stage name derived from Birmingham slang for "weirdo")

Whether you like his music or not, fair play to the guy for actually writing songs that say something about society and trying to get younger people thinking about current issues. Most music these days is so bland and corporate. Popstars convey nothing in their songs in the modern era except how much money they have or how many chicks they've bedded. Music used to inspire the young to rise up and challenge the establishment. Nowadays it encourages youngers to embrace it. Sad times.

re cardew i have been fairly familiar with his music and life for a while but i don't remember seeing a picture of him......even if you gis its mostly those graphical scores, idk maybe its a rights issue, this could be his iconic picture maybe but only the telegraph website has it

i knew john tilbury had written a biography of cardew, but not that it was over a 1000 pages long.

Ha! Forgot about this thread. The only interesting relative I have is my uncle, who played for Morton and St. Mirren (I'm Related To An Avant-Garde Centre Back), no 1000 word biographies of him to date.

(btw came across this thread by searching for a I Didn't Know They Were Related thread, having just discovered Toby Jones is the son of Freddie Jones).

There was a recording studio in Worcester in the 80s run by a man who coincidentally has the same real first and last name as Jowe Head, but he is not Jowe Head, where lots of pioneering grind/crust punk was recorded - Doom, Napalm Death, ENT etc.
Pretty sure I'm not related to him either.

Sad news, my uncle died last week :( Since then I've uncovered his brief career as a recording artist, though I don't think emil.y need worry, it's not exactly comparable to Cornelius Cardew...
