The Cloud Minders
@thecloudminders.bsky.social
The Cloud Minders were formed by Rob Morgan and Paul Kindred in Newport, South Wales, summer '94, via a love of '60s pop, chiming guitars & harmonies. The mighty Lee Williams joined on drums. Hear them here!

We loved your reaction to the story behind our song "Back On My Feet Again" on the 'Eclipse' EP. We've now added the story of our first ever song "Last Chance". Read how Rob and Paul came together and how this song was the start of it all!

That's interesting! I read my crossings out as "let's not bother with these", which happened a fair bit. Happy to go with to your recollection of events though mate, especially as I recall the car theft, obviously. Makes sense as I can't imagine I'd have been that happy to ditch 'No Matter What'! 😎

This Cloudies gig was two days after my car had been stolen, so I dedicated "Back on my feet again" to the toe rags who nicked it. Also note the plethora of covers we did to keep punters happy. Yes that is "Word Up" by Cameo. No we didn't have red codpieces.
1/2 - @thecloudminders.bsky.social' "bible" is a big red file full of setlists, lyrics, works in progress. A very precious possession. I consulted the runes about this and here we are! We played The Unicorn a few times, but this is where @durutti74.bsky.social' future tea lady saw us, in 1999. 🎸🥁🎵😎

2/2 - Interesting to recall our confidence here, ditching all of our stock cover versions and focussing on original songs. The crosses signify where I feel I messed up! 🤣 This was a busy year for @thecloudminders.bsky.social, not long before our epic, family raising hiatus. Keep watching though! 🎸🤞😎

Unexpected discussion on psychedelics and psychedelic music with my doctor who only asked what I was reading ("Psychedelia and other colours" by @scribblerrob.bsky.social ), we discussed Pink Floyd and I recommended Rob's excellent Syd biography.

Your welcome. An extraordinary book which inspired a brilliant (if I say so myself) unreleased @thecloudminders.bsky.social song that's unlikely to see the light of day now unfortunately. Console yourself by tracking down a copy of #Glimpses by #LewisShiner instead! 🎸🎵📖❤️
