I was taking a look at a Thin Lizzy site today and noticed this bit of somewhat dated, but still interesting news about what Robbo has been doing lately. This bit of news indicates he's playing Motorhead songs live. I'm sure that is interesting. I'm wondering what they are? Could he be playing "Ace of Spades" with this band when he refused to play it in his days with Lemmy? Here's the news article: Robbo will play a couple of dates as special guest with Five Fifteen in Scandinavia at the end of February (2004). The band is out promoting their new album "The Sensational Five Fifteen"(Bluelight Records BHR 3399 2) with a line-up consisting of; Mika Jarvinen - Guitar & Vocals, Saana Koskinen - Vocals & Flute, Matti Salovaara - Guitar, Kalle Sinkkonen - Keyboards, Mikko Maatta - Bass and Santeri Saksala - drums. They'll play a 30-min set before Robbo joins them for about one hour-long set with songs by Thin Lizzy, Motorhead, Frankie Miller, Bob Seger, Joe Walsh and Five Fifteen. Expect a mean version of "Ain't Got No Money" which Robbo recorded for the Frankie Miller Tribute released by Eagle Records last year! Dates: 21/2 Karleby(FIN), West Coast 22/2 Turku(FIN), Downtown 25/2 Finland, TBA 26/2 Helsinki(FIN), On The Rocks 27/2 Vasteras(SWE), Club Rockers 28/2 Uppsala(SWE), Fredmans (and NOT Jonkoping as previously reported)

Last time I heard of Robbo there was a bust of John Lennon for sale on ebay by Robbo. It was being adverstised by a music show which he worked in. I asked about RObbo and the guy said he was moving to Kent annd clearing out a lot of crap from his house (this bust being one of the said bits of crap).

I know Robbo and the Clan toured scandinavia last year. They got good review too i think. Never saw them though. The band featured Swedish musicians Martin Kronlund and Paulo Mendonca.

Those above are from Hotel "Esplanade" were there was inerview and some bitch reporter who had some sort of verbal fight with Lemmy. Maybe I will translate for you one day. When rnr and Motorhead is about, former Yugoslav territory, balkan region was so primitive, specialy in those days. I live here so I know. They dont understand nothing. I found some articles about concert from Ljubljana in 1989 when Lemmy was cut. This reporter was ok and had something to do with organization if I remember right to bring Motorhead here. Maybe I will translate that too some day. I remember in Belgrade in 2002, they were playing and some asshole throw bottle on stage, I read somewhere Lemmy said: "I remember what happened before in Ljubljana, one more and Im off the stage and I will not return...". Everything was fine. But, this interview from 1982 and this stupid reporters, when you read it you think; are those people live in 15 century (in their minds)? And of course what press told them, to people, they trust, they dont question the press, they trust everything. Dictatorship brainwash, people didnt know for anything else... what reporters said to them all their lifes, thats that. Cool photos, specialy this one above were is Robbo on mic. Brian Robertson talked here (apperently) how Eddie Clarke is bad guitar player. And question about what he thinks about Motorhead in HM, he said I see nothing, except Gillan who was ok everything else is crap (Maiden, Scorpions... it was festival). Lemmy said on same question; We play Motorhead, people have in their minds, on how we look, that image and put us in HM, I dont think about HM, Im thinkin on my band... I can put some Pistols record, The Damned, and if you heard us for first time you will say 'this is another punk band' something like those.. and not that what press say.." And then she said (reporter) that she thinks Lemmy is monster, and Motorhead is just awful. And start to asking him what he feels about woman? Than Lemmy on his way started to ask questions to her, that she dooesnt know him, what kind of thinkin is that... Than she had titles in hers article that Lemmy is drunken pig, that he doesnt like to bath etc.... When I was reading this I was like ? Here are two more photos from that show:

He has some issues with his past it would be fair to say....! Does anyone else remember late 80s when he used to play occasionally with a UK goth/rock band called Balaam and the Angel (a bit like the ALMIGHTY) , I saw them in Harlow of all places and Robbo was on and brilliant. I wont say a wasted talent cos that's untrue, but so much more potential than he seemed to realise . So....2015, Motorhead 40years featuring Robbo, and supporting act Black Star Riders featuring Robbo....! No I haven't been drinking (YET)LOL
