6 -sa;d tywro, Jaraary 2E. 91e { CHRS MDDLETON talks to JULE COVNGTON and says... _ reat her wth care "COVNGTON, HUH?" smrked the man n the record busness. "You say you're ntervewng Covngton?" Affrmatve, came the reply. He smrked agan, ths tme nto hs scotch. He put hs feet up on the table and leaned back smugly. "Of course you realse you won't get anythng out of her, L..._dont you?" he sad. "No way. Not wth her. She's a really tough lttle lady, that one. And mean hard. You know?" Shrug. As bg showbuslness myths went, t seemed reasonably easy to beleve. After all, you only need to have seen one epsode of TV's massvely successful Rock Folles to have formed the farly strong mpresson that beneath the Covngton bone structure there lves a female, gum chewng equvalent of Robert Mtchum and Burt Lancaster combned. You know what mean? Yes, 'm sure you know, and 1 know was sure knew. So how wan t, then, that when she came over to say hello at Hammersmth's Rversde Studos she shook everyone's hand and sad she was pleased to meet us? How was t she apologsed to floods of detal for beng late and havng wasted so much of our tme? And how was t she came alone and not surrounded by tooth - pckng muscleman wth COV- NGTON stamped on ther backs? Because, sad to say, the smple, terrble truth of the matter s that Jule Covngton, lttle tousled superstar of Rock Folles, engmatc publcty - shunner and possessor of a voce whch can sound lke en angel one mnute and the devl the next s Just a normal grl. She's not "Covngton" or "that Covngton chck", she's Jule. Al rght, you've heard the stars say t before - "'m normal, 'm normal" - and you've probably dscounted t. You'd probably dscount t wth Jule too But you'd be wrong. You may thnk t's not normal to refuse Press ntervews. But what Could be more normal than not lettng yourself n for the horrfc experences that she had the other week when Sunday papers kept rngng her up to ask why she was splttng up wth her boyfrend.

8 JULE COVNGTON FROM PAGE 6 You may thnk t's not normal to appear frequenuy on televson. To Jule, though, t's just work, the only dfference beng that she happens to be seen by a lot of people when she's at work. And you may thnk t's not normal to be a female star and yet not be every male drooler's deal pn up. But whose abnormalty to that? Ours or hers? No. the only truly abnormal thng about Jule Covngton s that she s qute so talented. Ths year, for example, apart from appearng n Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard at Rversde Studos, she s 'also scheduled to appear n the Englsh Natonal Opera Company's producton of The Seven Deadly Sns and n addton she s gong nto the recordng studos to make her own solo rock album. t all adds up to a heady Jnlxture of constant acclam and a permanently rngng telephone, but Jule seems able to drnk the ambrosa of success wthout t gong to her head. After all, the only unbalanced stars are those who don't deserve ther stardom and know t all too well - those poor unfortunates who are Just bodes or faces, more consgnments of charsmatc flesh who are rased far hgher than they ever merted and then left wthout an emotonal parachute for the fall from grace. But for those lke Jule, whose success s based n tangble fact and talent, and not the fantases, of other people, the problems posed by success are not her own reactons to t, but her reactons to other people's reactons. "At frst, Just wanted to run away t was all too much for me and 1 just couldn't handle the stuaton. Everyone suddenly wanted n know, but everyone. "That was why wouldn't speak to newspapers, why wouldn't be seen outsde t's only now, after about S months of t. that 1 can almost cope properly. "What 've realsed s that you can't go round beng that rgd wth yourself, You can't say ''m not gong to speak to any newspapers because there's newspapers and newspapers, and not all of them are bad Alrght, So 've had some bad experences n the past but at least know what to expect and what not to expect. "They were all the tme comng up to me n the street and callng out 'Hello Dee' across the road. Everywhere went was gettng to dread people recognsng me. " mean could understand why t was -happenng - afteeall, 'd been n all ther lvng rooms and they all felt they knew me; probably was more real to them than half the people they knew n real lfe. But t was a real stran, a terrble stran. " hope, anyway, that 've developed a more relaxed atttude to thngs now. Í thnk now know when to be heavy wth people and when not. "For example, really don't want to become a huge organsaton, wth loads of people workng for me. Thngs would probably be a lot easer f dldrbut Just don't want that. have an agent who sorts out a lot of thngs, but stll negotate my own record deals myself. want to keep my ndependence and put my foot down sometmes to do that. " " don't lke t at all when have to come on heavy - mean who lkes hassles? - but then agan 'm an actress aren't? So can put t on when have to." Sane stuff and no doubt hghly necessary for someone slalomng her way through the crowds of back - slappers and cheque - book - wavers that are contnually loomng before her. How far, though, does Jule the actress merge wth Jule the human beng n ths process? She ran a hand through her spky locks and sucked a Dunhll thoughtfully. "All the tme, suppose," she sad. " mean 'd much rather be workng than dong nothng, and my work s all about usng small corners of myself and puttng them nto the characters 1play. "There was a lot of me, for nstance, n Dee, and there's some of me n Varya, the part play n The Cherry Orchard. "t's not so much that she s terrbly lke me - she's a very down - to earth grl, desperately tryng to stop the rest of. the famly gong bankrupt - t's more that. can remember havng been n stuatons Just lke that and can feel a lot of sympathy wth her. To play the part have to sort of. amplfy that sympathy." And that amplfcaton s currently comng over most effectvely every nght al the Rversde Studos ndeed, her performance s so effectve that t s hard to reconcle ths crnolhned, classcal Covngton, talkng about Mama, the estate and sendng for the horses, wth the lttle frebrand n denm whch we knew her as n Rock Folles. Nevertheless, t comes as no surprse to her, she says, to, fnd herself n such a stralt-bodl ced play. Early on n her lfe, durng her attendence at Klburn and Malda Vale Hgh School for Grls, she developed a love for classcal theatre. One of her frst stage roles was as the bearded Greek, adulterer Aegsthus n a French verson of Electra - the knd of part she often was cast n owng to her (even then) close cropped har and deep speakng voce. Jule was an only chld, her happest phase, she sad, from the fourth to the sxth year, "That was when really started lvng. t was the tme when thngs really started happenng to me. Most people sly that teenage phase s one of the worst n your lfe, but for me t was really great because there was so much gong on. t was very exctng, that sort of panful growng up. loved t. " Ths. seemed strange from 'someone who by her own admsson dd not lke hassles. But Jule provded the answer to the rddle, through her self - confessed addcton to one commodty whch she s not only capable of provdng for herself, but also for other people. And that. most emphatcally, s exctement. "'ve always loved magc and exctement n all ts forms. 1 used to have a stle altar when was 13, not partcularly because was relgous but just because t had such an ncredble atmosphere. used to kneel down n front of t every nght, lght the candle and Just stare at my pctures of Ch rl et. t was fantastc, " stll go to church servces from tme to tme even now, just to watch and be part of the atmosphere. There's always somethng magc - about a Church, you feel t as soon as you walk n the door. "And n the same way there's somethng magc about the theatre, too. t's that extra buzz you get back from a lve audence that's so exctng. fnd now am wakng up n the mornngs and can't watt to do the evenng show. "Most tmes am really nervous before a lve performance, but on the frst nght of The Cherry Orchard found wasn't worred; n fact was so relaxed found myself Just wantng to go to sleep. t really surprsed me, because 'm usually - very jumpy. Who knows, perhaps 'm gettng more mature?" Statstcally, certanly, she s, Now S rock years old, Jule s at an age where most stars have held ther postons for 10 years already and are busy makng manc predctons they wll stay there for the next 10. She, however, after u mere 18 month apprentceshp to rock stardom, s already lookng further afeld. Whereas most performers would be busy ploughng predco tably up the motorway, Jule has already reached her crossroads and wth commendable determnaton, made possble only by a seemngly lmtless fuel of talent, she has resolved to travel the pretty way. Not, however, th at the route wll be. a haphazard one, dverse though t may be. For Jule Covngton undoubtedly has a head that s frmly attached to her shoulders and feet that are equally frmly fxed to the ground, though they may sometmes sway as f on platform shoes She would, she says, lke to have chldren n the next few years, but only f she can face gvng up her career temporarly; and that, at the moment, s dose n nconcevable. For, wth offers droppng nto her lap from almost every quarter of the entertanment world, Jule Covngton s surely set for one of the most glamorous second halves of ther lfe that anyone could hope for. The golden eggs st gltterng n more than Just one basement. But eggs they stll are, and fragle ones at that, so next tme the tttle Lady comes up to conversaton, treat her wth care. Remember; she's not "Covngton" - she's Jule Covngton.

But now he's back wth a solo album - and wth the heelng of a major record label behnd hm. And t's not at all bad, though t's one of those albums that takes a long Ume and many plays to get nto. GERRY RAFFERTY The old Stealers Wheel magc s stll there, partcularly n numbers lke 'The Ark' and the gentle hauntng 'Shea nn' Tme', 'Whatever's Wrtten n Your Heart' turns nto somethng of an epc, wth fne plano work from Tommy Eyre found on the LP are Henry Scnett.

Starcastle are part of the great Amercan sympho/rock Renassance. Ths epc (and 1 mean that n the ncest possble way) was produced by Roy Thomas Baker to whom Queen owe a lot. Openng track 'Shne On Brghtly' marches on the turntable super majestc and then lapses nto heartbeat playng. 'Shadows Of Song' htters wth gutar before beng trampled underfoot by a battery of drums and then the keyboards. On ths one you're remnded of Yes partcularly the chorus. 'Can't Thnk Twce' la smpler and best dsplays ther vocal abltes. 'Wngs Of Whte' s very frenzed before the buss of a slow bass lne - and the ntro to Evenng Wnd'. 'Change n Tme' s the most urgh cosmc track on the album wth the sort of lyrcs raved about four years ago. Stll t's another good track. An album that has a lot of THOUGHT above average SKLL and MELODY.

We just don't want to be applauded we want you to be part of the act.' And they were. Loggns and Messna are one of those duos popular the other sde of the Atlanllc but not exactly rotously receved over here where they,may be regarded as a poor man's Smon and Garfunkel. Ths album has melody atmosphere and the mmedacy hasn't suffered through beng commtted to vnyl. The second track, a medley of 'Danny's Song' 'A Love Song' 'House At Pooh Comer' and 'Thnkng Of You' wll be best known here. As ever, 'House At Pooh Corner' worksthe best wth the charm of the orgnal Wlnnle The -Pooh Stores. 'Keep Me n Mnd' ntroduces frend añd vocalst Larry Slmes and the nstrumental backng s extended wth a tropcal under the - stars type beat. 'Pretty Prncess' freewheels beautfully - a love song that rps away before comng back to the slow melody. 'Be Free' s the most ntrcate track of sde two t breaks nto a tune that sounds lke a Russan dance before blendng nto country rock'n'roll. Sde three s all country, not partcularly palatable for me but excellent agan for standard of playng. On sde four they break nto rock and roll. lust wsh they hadn't condensed the three fnal tracks nto a medley.

He told her she was nce. She sad thank -you. He asked what she was dong tonght. She sad she ddn't know, He sad he was n Bethnal and they were playng n London tonght She sad oh.

NOW YOU gotta admt there an't many stores to tlls paper that kck ol n strp clubs. But guess there an't that many bands around lke Bethnal. Greenhouse f you've seen them (they recently completed a tour supportng Steve Gbbons) you mght dsagree On the face of t, you say, they've got absolutely nothng new to offer. Just another grunt and groan n the wlderness. Just another pot n the greenhouse. Just another worm to the earth. But stop and thnk for a moment Frst dfference from the flood - the band ncludes a West ndan (Ev), a Greek (lead snger George Csapo), an Hungaran (gutarst Nck Mchaels) and a Londoner (drummer Pete Dowlngs). Second dfference - Csapo (pronounced Zap-. po) plays a voln. Thrd dfference - the band's been around for four years. obvously AT LAST! The álbum... movng wth the tmes but as they hasten to pont out, never band wagoners. They've been playng ther partcular brand of gogetum wno - teen funk for a long tme and they an't about to change. Fourth dfference - they're REAL Londoners. That s, bred n the masmc metropols as opposed to beng sucked n later on and then dsclamng ther past lke so many bands seem to do these days. Ffth dfference - they an't a bad bunch of geezers. N the gangster gloom of a West End snooker hall Pete leans across a fullsze table, takes a shot, msses, chalks hs cue. "t's lke playng tddlywnks on a football ptch," he moans. Meanwhle George s busy explanng the mportance of the voln. "We don't put t n for a gmmck. learned how to play at,school but kds stll thnk t's a poofy nstrument They don't realse that mare people are taught to play the voln than the gutar. "t's truly a folk nstrument and 1 for one would lke to see f used more frequently." He explans that as a kd n Wood Green he had to play ether pano or voln. He now plays both. "My father's a panst But he's lazy and t makes me so annoyed to thnk that he an't gettng anywhere. don't wanna be lke hts. don't wanna end up nowhere." he mantans.

Or even Scottsh spendthrfts.. That s, 'untl Amerca dscovered T Connecton. The group that replaced the Carbbean heat of beach bonfres and fery rum cocktals wth red hot and poundng dsco fuson almost overnght. Shortly after they forsook ther outer sland retreats n Bmn and Nassau, New Provdence, some four years ago - for the sophstcaton of Freeport, Grand Bahama - the tropcal fve pece ht the bg tme. For even ther frst record, 'Dsco Magc,' charted natonally. And wth 'Do What You Wanna Do' they cemented the early success wth a world wde ht - rapdly fndng that ther unque combnaton of Carbbean rhythm, jazz, R & B and an out and out dsco beat was a wnnng formula. Now 'On Fre,' the latest sngle, has taken everyone by surprse.. yet agan. Possbly ther most commercal (and rock based) 'Dsco' release to date 'On Flee' s a monster Amercan crossover ht. Whle the sngle s posed to thump straght nto the Brtsh Top 10. On the phone from thebahamas,group spokesman Theoplus Coakley was adamant that not only was 'dsco' musc flourshng but that t was constantly strvng to break new barrers. Wth T -Connecton - naturally enough -n the forefront of the acton. Competton "You've just got to feel t man," he shoots across the wres. "The whole thng's really jumpng now. There's so much competton. - "Everyone nvolved h the dsco sound s becomng more and more creatve. You're gettng fred by beng up aganst them all the tme. The bg push for the best break of the year. The drecton s always forward. "Two, maybe three years ago you were just out there layng t'down. Now all of a sudden there's so many good sounds comng out., and look stt, t's wld, t's all sellng. " Warmng to hs theme Theopllus outlnes the expanson of the 'dsco' sound nto other areas of musc. "You are always gong for a certan sound," he says. "And you're always tryng to get that as commercal as possble. But gradually you can see yourselves pckng up on parts from 'rock' musc. At the same tme there are a lot of very talented 'rock' muscans movng nto the dsco feld. "t mght be that the sound sn't as pure as when dsco frst started, but 'dsco soul' s stll soul. " And he adds, one can sense wth a smle: "We've kept our own sound, though, and t's done us well " of T -Connecton That 'sound', ndeed, grew out of what Theoplus descrbes as an "lnternatlonallsatlon of our varous nfluences." Spotted by producer Cory Wade n Freeport, T Connecton had already begun to branch out n the early seventes. The musc expected of them was ether commercal calypso, or commercal Top 40, n a more or leas stultfyng muscal envronment, and ther flud expermentaton had them earmarked from the begnnng. But t took a move to Florda -a mere 90 mles over to the manland - and a record deal wth the TK label to. make the blg break. The fve members, Theoplus (wrter and lead snger), Krk Coakley (bass and vocals),` Monty Brown (gutar and vocals), Berkely Van Byrd (drums) and Tony Flowers (percusson) kept to an ndvdual path. By nterchangng nstruments and vocal dutes they were able to retan a freshness and exctement, whch - coupled wth more dverse 'roots' than most - managed to sdestep the repettve staleness of Others workng n ther feld. Expermental " don't thnk we ever had a TK sound, "Theoplus contnues. "That's more the KC and the Sunshne Band (ther stablemates) thng. You lke to thnk you are always just a bt expermental, more pure nsrsle. We change around a lot, lsten to a lot of dfferent thngs. Step by step you can buld nne, somethng new. "We had our radcal change around about '70 when we met Cory - now t's the subtle advance around that 'beat'." Another nvsble grn: "Get your hook frst Amerca wasn't slow toplck upon the hot Bahaman export. Wth chart success behnd them they romped away wth a double - pronged assault on televson and the concert halls. Wnnng wth dsco power and muscal adaptablty. But despte standng ovatons and fathful audences throughout the States Theoplus stll gves the edge to the studo. ' lke to feel the crowd gettng wld, and man those Amercans are enthusastc) But, returnng to what was 'sayng before, the studo just has so much gong'on. Thngs are happenng really quckly He does, however, look forward to crackng a new lve audence n Brtan. And the rocketng success of 'On Fre' both the sngle and the album, whch features an eght mnute verson of the ht - makes tat a very defnte possblty for later ths year. "Dsco - played out?", he laughs.

They have suffered masthead, and Yachts are suddenly havng to do wthout, now relyng purely on ther ndvldal nce boy personaltes to carry them through. What JJJ couldn't damage when he left was the power of the materal and the mplacable sense of fun that Yachts nfuse nto t. There are a few astonshngly good. songs n the set - 'Suffce To Say' would have been a smash ht last year f the world had been ready for t, and smne pop harmony (but wth bg balls) stuff lke 'Lookng Good' and 'On And On' s blatantly commercal, or f you prefer, catchy There are occason when the power n ther pop becomes tresome - varyng the pace 'sporadcally would do no hernal all.

They've been playng professonally for only four months but 11 could be four years, and they're all very competent muscans - lead rhythm gutarst Steve Payne s a folk sesson man, who says that knowng most record companes from the nsde, he doesn't trust them. The muscal ground covered s a well trodden path, not la say rut, and the treatment gven to such old hands as ''m A Kng Bee' and 'Walkng The Dog' makes comparsons wth The Feelgoods unavodable, and sometmes necessary.
