I've always loved Chrissy Hynde, much to my wife's annoyance. A good documentary, I liked her jamming at The Boogaloo. It's weird because I was chatting with an acquaintance last week about music & forthcoming gigs. I mentioned The Pretenders in October. He says really, my mate lives above Chrissy Hynde in a block of flats in Maida Vale (I'm thinking yeah righto) and he gets his phone out & shows a photo of Chrissy cradling his baby. Apparently she pops upstairs for Sunday lunch on occasions. How cool is that ?
Saw the Pretenders early 79 just after they released their first single stop your sobbing( written by Ray Davies).One of my school mates Robbie Macintosh then went onto play for them before he left to play in Wings .Thoughtshe came across very well in the documentary .

Did he used to be in the AWB?
No -first in a local group the Merton parkers(I think)Rob is a lovely guy - used to see him at Wimbledon station with his guitar before travelling to a gig.From local gigs to two world tours with a famous beatle can't be bad eh!

Saw the Merton Parkas in the 70s - bit of a dodgy Mod band. Think the keyboard player teamed up with Paul Weller in the Style Council.

There was a Robbie Macintosh in the AWB, whether it was the same one, I dunno?

Wasn't he the drummer who died in the 1970s. Great band AWB.
Chrissie's autobiography is well worth a read as well .. reads like a hot novel !
The McIntoshs .. Robbie 1 is a very talented player and sometime Pretender member .. he took over when the previous guitarist died due to dabbling in drugs ... Robbie 1 tours with his own band, they are well worth a look.
and drugs took Robbie 2 the A W B drummer .. at a party in LA he mistook a 'bowl' of heroin for coaine, overtooted and died ..
I saw A W B at a nice venue in Yorkshire last year .. still a terrific band with quite a few original members and some talented new blood

Yes, Mick Talbot. Merton Parkas were actually quite a decent band who were part of the Mod revival. Have a few of their records.

He was. Saw Hamish Stuart and a couple of AWB at a charity concert at Kenney Jones polo club a couple of years ago. Only played 2 or tracks but did a superb version of Pick up The Pieces.

In Weymouth, where I live, Robbie is something of a local celebrity - I saw Chrissie and The Pretenders - must have been 1980, Hammersmith Odeon - really good. My daughters remember her from her cameo appearance in "Friends".

They are a very good band, still touring, not the same line up though:-(
I like her song writing and she always has a good rock n roll band around her, also she comes over very spiritual but having watched this, bloody hell what a bore!
Have to say watched the doc last night and was a bit disappointed.
Always liked her and her music but seemed a bit like a "a day in the life" of.
Not much on her personal life, wasn't she married to Ray Davies and Jim Kerr?
Mind you, she may have stipulated, not to delve too deep into intimacy?
Maybe out of respect to Davies and Kerr. Sir Ray did request to be left out of her autobiography, which she agreed to and later relented (although presumably not to the extent of inviting litigation) Her and Davies never married (though they did have a daughter together)
