Toni, Alannis, Robin and Guy Chadwick

Where are they Now?
So it turns out Guy Chadwick can be added to the club that Toni Halliday (see previous post) belonged to. Guy was apparently some kind of failed new romantic before he gained credibility (whatever that means?) during the House Of Love's heady rise and quick demise in the late 80s/early 90s. I reckon Creation Records who the House Of Love were signed to probably tried to hush this up at the time.  I only heard about it the other day after watching that doco on Creation Records. This turned out to be mainly about Alan McGee. But I think one on Guy & Terry would be classic. Chadwick was terrible at drinking and drugs according to himself. One facet they failed to address in the film was all the unsuccessful artists (artistically and financially) McGee signed. That would make a very long list. Slowdive didn't even get a mention, I mean Noel Gallagher had to tell us one more time about all the drugs he's done and how awesome he is so what did you expect? Did anyone ever notice that Oasis were like a third rate version of the fabulous 60s band The Creation and that's what the label was named after? 

Here they are.
