Now: Inauguration

By Wud Records
Inauguration by Now Inauguration is the very first time that Now assembled to play some music. It was recorded in the (then) new music rooms at The King’s School, Ottery St Mary, in late September 1982. The band were planning to perform a few songs for a stage version of Orwell’s 1984. These songs would have been from that production, had it taken place. As it happened, it didn’t. Music and lyrics by Mark Drower. Musicians: Mark Drower – vocals, acoustic guitar Jon Kneebone – drums, percussion George Davies – lead guitar Also present but not plugged in: Pok Pete Rippin Lucy Bradshaw-Smith Sarah Hopgood A stereo mic was used to record onto cassette. Mark sat very close to the mic to sing and play, Jon and George were set up further away. Mark could not hear himself very well due to the volume of the drums and electric guitar. Nevertheless, he did a fantastic job.
